Amazon's Project Kuiper customer terminal delivers speeds up to 400 Mbps

The Hindu  

Amazon has developed a small, low-cost customer terminal for ‘Project Kuiper’, its satellite-based internet service from low Earth orbit. The tech giant said the phased array antenna is based on a new architecture capable of delivering high-speed, low-latency broadband, and will allow customers to connect to satellites passing overhead. Amazon’s phased array antenna used “tiny antenna element structures to overlay one over the other,” reducing the size and weight for the customer terminal. “It’s incredible to see such a small form factor delivering this type of speed and performance.” Amazon’s Project Kuiper was approved by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in July, with a constellation of 3,236 satellites in the LEO.
