- Leo Pro – Amazon Leo Pro delivers the best of both worlds—fast speeds in a sleek package. It provides up to 400 Mbps download speeds, measures just 11 x 11 inches, and weighs 5.3 lbs. Great for streaming in 4K, playing games, and making seamless video calls, all at the same time.
- Leo Ultra – Amazon Leo Ultra is designed for uncompromising performance. It delivers the fastest satellite connectivity speeds up to 1 Gbps downloads and 400 Mbps uploads. Supports bandwidth-intensive business and industrial applications, including connecting thousands of IoT sensors and hundreds of HD cameras.
Amazon has 200 low-orbit satellites in place, with plans to launch thousands more in the coming years. Compared to competitors, the company says Leo will have stronger performance, about six to eight times better on uplink, and two times better on downlink than current options. Amazon also promised a lower price point. For business and government customers, Leo will seamlessly integrate with AWS, offering storage, analytics, and AI solutions.
