Globalsat to Resell Amazon’s Planned LEO Satellite Service
Satellite services provider Globalsat Group has signed a reseller agreement with Amazon’s planned low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network, Project Kuiper. The deal means Globalsat will be able to offer connectivity based on Kuiper’s future constellation once it is live, targeting enterprise, government and remote-area customers that need broadband where terrestrial networks are weak or non-existent.
Under the agreement, Globalsat plans to fold Kuiper-based links into its existing satellite portfolio, positioning itself as an intermediary between Amazon’s infrastructure and end users in Latin America and other regions it serves. Amazon’s LEO network is still under deployment, so commercial services will depend on the company hitting its launch and rollout milestones.
