Amazon plans to launch 3,236 satellites for global internet connectivity

These satellites will be launched into low Earth orbit to provide internet to the unserved and underserved communities around the world. This would help innovate and disrupt the satellite and space world with new AWS products, services and features.

With this, Amazon would join a string of companies that plan to use a network of satellites to offer broadband across the globe. Unlike traditional satellite internet, these plans involve the use of satellites in low Earth orbit, which would make it cost-effective and can be operated with lower latencies.
