Context

On 24 November 2025, Amazon unveiled the production-ready version of its flagship satellite internet terminal, Leo Ultra, and kicked off an enterprise preview programme through its satellite broadband service, Amazon Leo . Leo Ultra is a full-duplex phased-array antenna that supports simultaneous download and upload — offering speeds of up to 1 Gbps for downloads and 400 Mbps for uploads. Designed for fixed installation, the terminal is weather-resistant and built to operate reliably under harsh environmental conditions, eliminating moving parts to improve durability and simplify deployment.

Analysis

Alongside Leo Ultra, Amazon has defined a full lineup: the smaller Leo Pro for remote offices or vehicles (mid-range speeds), and a compact Leo Nano aimed at portable or mobile use cases. Amazon is now shipping Leo Ultra and Pro units to a select group of enterprise and government customers, enabling them to test the network in real-world scenarios.

With more than 150 satellites currently in orbit and a planned constellation of over 3,000, the service is positioning itself to deliver broadband connectivity to places and industries that lack reliable infrastructure.

Key Points

  • The new Leo Ultra terminal delivers up to 1 Gbps download and 400 Mbps upload, making it the fastest commercial phased-array antenna in production.
  • Amazon Leo has started shipping Ultra (and Pro) units to business and government partners, signalling a shift from prototype to real-world deployment as part of a broader launch planned in 2026.

Actions
