Blue Origin, founded by Jeff Bezos, announced its TeraWave satellite network, designed to consist of 5,408 satellites, with deployment beginning in Q4 2027. The network aims to deliver high-speed internet, primarily targeting government clients and enterprises, unlike SpaceX's Starlink, which services end consumers.

TeraWave promises data rates of up to 6 Terabits per second through optical communication between satellites, serving a maximum of around 100,000 customers. Concurrently, Bezos is advancing the Leo network, previously known as Project Kuiper, with 3,200 satellites aimed at household and business internet.

SpaceX operates approximately 10,000 Starlink satellites, providing faster connections due to their low Earth orbit. Amazon is also developing alternatives to Starlink with the Leo system, which is expected to offer high speeds for consumers.
