On November 14, 2025, Amazon made an official announcement stating that its satellite communications network, originally known as Project Kuiper, has now been renamed Amazon Leo. This renaming signifies the project's complete shift from the experimental testing stage to full - scale commercial operations. Previously, Project Kuiper had reached a series of significant milestones. It secured initial operational licenses, entered into launch contracts, successfully completed testing of prototype satellites, and deployed the first batch of mass - produced satellites. The new name, Amazon Leo, serves as a tribute to the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite system, which is the core of this project. It also emphasizes the project's distinct technological standing. Amazon has already launched over 150 LEO satellites. Looking ahead, it has ambitious plans to deploy more than 3,200 such satellites to construct a global satellite network. Once the network's coverage and capacity are further expanded, Amazon Leo will officially roll out its services. It aims to offer broadband communication solutions to billions of people around the world who currently lack access to high - speed internet, as well as to businesses and government agencies. Among its initial customers are JetBlue Airways, L3Harris, and other well - known entities.
