Amazon is preparing to launch the Space Internet project next year

Amazon.com has been approved to purchase a small yard in New Zealand to become part of its project to connect the internet from space. The Wellington external investment office explained yesterday that “Amazon” will install and operate communication equipment on the ground. Approval was issued in July last year, and a site was allocated on an area of ​​500 square meters in a revealed place. The Amazon project aims to provide a wide variety of internet through more than 3 thousand satellites in a low -gravel, which makes it compete with the Starlink network of Elon Musk. The company expects the launch of its first satellites before the end of 2024, and plans to start the first customer tests during 2025 with a commercial service later in the same year. The external investment office said in its statement that the company was established “Amazon Koyber New Zealand” with the aim of conducting the local operations of the Quber project. He added that the equipment connection on the site will be used to deliver Broad -Range Internet Services to New Zealand.
