Blue Origin plans to establish a satellite constellation named Terawave, consisting of 5,280 low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and 128 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites. The service aims to provide symmetrical bandwidth of up to 6 terabits per second by the fourth quarter of 2027, targeting around 100,000 corporate and government customers.

The LEO satellites will offer lower latency connections at up to 144 gigabits per second, utilizing radio frequencies, while MEO satellites will support higher bandwidth through optical connections, which may be affected by atmospheric conditions. The network design is focused on delivering robust connectivity for critical operations, distinguishing itself from broader consumer-oriented services like Starlink.
