Amazon requests federal approval for 5,105 satellites to enhance connectivity

27 Temmuz 2026CNBC

Amazon is seeking federal approval to launch a network of 5,105 satellites aimed at establishing a direct-to-device communication system. This ambitious project will leverage assets from Globalstar, a company Amazon plans to acquire for approximately $11.6 billion.
The initiative highlights Amazon's commitment to expanding its technological infrastructure and enhancing connectivity.
The push for satellite internet services has gained momentum as companies like SpaceX and OneWeb have already made significant strides in this area. Amazon's entry into the market could intensify competition and drive innovation, potentially leading to lower costs and improved services for consumers.
Amazon's move to deploy a vast satellite network underscores its strategic shift towards becoming a major player in telecommunications. By acquiring Globalstar, Amazon not only secures necessary technology and infrastructure but also positions itself to compete with established satellite and telecom companies.
