en.Wedoany.com Reported - Communications service provider Clarus Networks has announced that it has become an authorized reseller of Amazon's Project Leo service, which provides ultra-high-speed broadband networks to users in the UK and globally via a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation.

The service is currently in commercial testing and is expected to officially launch in late 2026 or 2027, targeting consumers, businesses, and the public sector. Amazon Leo has received approval to deploy and operate its initial constellation, consisting of 3,236 LEO broadband satellites (orbiting at altitudes between 590 km and 630 km). Currently, 329 Kuiper satellites are in orbit, with more launches planned, though progress has slowed following the explosion of an early Blue Origin rocket. At least 500 satellites are required to achieve basic global coverage.

Amazon is expected to sell packages directly to consumers, while the new agreement with Clarus Networks focuses more on serving enterprise and maritime customers. Clarus has previously entered into similar agreements with Starlink and OneWeb (Eutelsat) to offer competitive broadband satellite networks. The company specializes in designing, deploying, and managing LEO-based satellite connectivity solutions for complex enterprise and maritime environments.

Derek Phillips, Managing Director of Clarus Networks, stated: "Becoming an authorized reseller of Amazon Leo is a significant step in our mission to provide customers with more choice, greater resilience, and better connectivity wherever they operate. By combining Amazon Leo's low Earth orbit satellite technology with our managed services, deployment expertise, and 24/7 operational support, we can help customers build more reliable, flexible, and future-proof networks."

Once the service is fully launched, customers will access the network through several compact, high-performance antennas: the Leo Nano, Leo Pro, and Leo Ultra. Among these, the Leo Ultra is the most powerful model in the series, capable of delivering download speeds of up to 1 Gbps and upload speeds of up to 400 Mbps, meeting the demands of demanding enterprise applications.
