Amazon Leo tops 400Mbps in test, targets Starlink market

Amazon recently demonstrated its low Earth orbit communications satellite network, Amazon Leo, at a test site in Aberdeen, Maryland, testing high-speed connectivity in a tactical environment with the US Army. During the demonstration, a notebook transmitted data through a ground-based Leo Pro antenna, with peak download speeds exceeding 400Mbps as the satellite passed overhead, signaling Amazon’s push to challenge SpaceX’s Starlink in the satellite broadband market.
