Amazon is targeting a 2028 launch for a global satellite-based direct-to-device cellular network, competing with Starlink's similar initiative and traditional telecom infrastructure.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Amazon's 2028 satellite network launch creates a new buyer for ground infrastructure at global scale—antenna design, power systems, and edge processing hardware will need to be built and integrated across thousands of satellites, and the company will need suppliers for components that terrestrial carriers never bought in volume.
