Amazon Leo’s New Ultra Antenna Fires Up the Race for Gigabit Satellite Internet
Amazon’s satellite network—Amazon Leo—just dropped one of the most impressive pieces of hardware in today’s satellite‑internet arena: the Ultra antenna. With download speeds blasting up to **1 Gbps**, this sleek device is redefining what remote connectivity can look like.

A Preview Program That Means Business
With 150+ satellites already orbiting and early network tests performing impressively, Amazon Leo is opening its preview program to select enterprise customers. Energy, aviation, transportation, manufacturing—industries that rely on real‑time data and remote communication—now get the chance to test this new system before the massive rollout next year.

Enterprise Power, Packed Into One Sleek Antenna
The newly revealed Leo Ultra antenna delivers up to 1 Gbps down and 400 Mbps up, making it the fastest phased‑array commercial antenna currently in production. Built to survive extreme heat, cold, wind, and debris, this maintenance‑lite design avoids traditional moving parts while housing Amazon‑engineered silicon and groundbreaking RF architecture.
For industries depending on real‑time operations—cloud analytics, remote monitoring, video conferencing, IoT data streams—this is not just an upgrade. It’s a shift in what becomes possible outside traditional broadband environments.
Secure, Private Networking for Critical Operations
Speed is only half the story. Amazon Leo is built with *enterprise‑grade* security, including cutting‑edge encryption, private routing, and advanced network controls. Two standout features make this network especially attractive:
Direct to AWS (D2A): Seamlessly route satellite-connected environments into AWS cloud workloads without touching the public internet.
Private Network Interconnect (PNI): Link remote sites directly into private datacenters and networks, forming a fast, private, satellite‑powered extension of existing infrastructure.
Early Partners Already Onboard
From aviation to agriculture, major players are already integrating Amazon Leo hardware. JetBlue is partnering with Amazon to modernize inflight Wi‑Fi. Companies like Hunt Energy Network and Crane Worldwide Logistics are preparing to deploy Leo Pro and Ultra antennas across their distributed operations.
What This Means for Small Businesses
While the preview is enterprise‑focused, the long‑term potential has huge implications for small businesses. As Amazon Leo matures, high-bandwidth satellite connectivity could become accessible virtually anywhere.
Imagine: connected construction sites, agricultural drones feeding live sensor data, pop‑up retail with reliable cloud access, media teams uploading 4K footage off‑grid—the possibilities expand dramatically as these networks scale.
