TL;DR

Amazon has unveiled three satellite antennas for its Project Kuiper internet network, which aims to provide high-speed internet to anywhere in the world. The "standard" version of the antenna is expected to cost Amazon less than $400 each to produce, while the "ultra-compact" model is the smallest and most affordable. The largest "pro" model is designed for more demanding customers and will be able to deliver speeds up to 1 Gbps. Amazon expects to begin mass-producing commercial satellites by the end of this year and launches of production satellites are scheduled to begin in the first half of 2024.
