Blue Origin plans to deploy 5,408 satellites for the TeraWave communication network, scheduled for the last quarter of 2027. The network aims to provide data transfer speeds up to six terabits per second and serve up to 100,000 users, targeting data centers, governments, and corporations.

This initiative comes amid rising demand for AI data processing, necessitating new infrastructure. TeraWave complements another satellite constellation, Leo, also linked to Jeff Bezos, which will include 3,200 satellites. Currently, SpaceX's Starlink leads the market with about 10,000 satellites in orbit.
