Blue Origin unveiled TeraWave, a plan to orbit more than 5,400 satellites to deliver global, high-speed internet tailored for data centers, businesses and governments, with potential speeds up to 6 terabits per second; the constellation would launch by end of 2027 and would still trail SpaceX's Starlink in numbers, while Amazon's Leo pursues a similar public internet goal.
Blue Origin plans TeraWave, a space-based internet network offering up to 6 terabits per second globally for uploads and downloads, targeting tens of thousands of enterprise, data center, and government customers. The multi-orbit constellation will include 5,408 satellites (including 128 in medium Earth orbit), with ground connectivity via standard wireless links and deployments slated to begin around the end of 2027; consumer access is not part of the initial plan.
Blue Origin revealed a plan to deploy 5,408 satellites for a space-based communications network named TeraWave, set to begin in late 2027 and capable of up to 6 Tbps worldwide for data centers, governments and businesses, targeting as many as 100,000 customers and competing with SpaceX’s Starlink and Blue Origin’s own Leo/Kuiper effort.
Blue Origin announced its own megaconstellation, TeraWave, a 5,408-satellite system in low- and medium-Earth orbits designed to deliver up to 6 Tbps, targeting enterprise, data-center, and government users rather than consumers. The network would use LEO radios for up to 144 Gbps and MEO optical links for higher speeds, with deployment planned to begin in Q4 2027. The project may complement Amazon Leo and hints at orbital data centers, reflecting Blue Origin’s broader push into high-speed, reliable global connectivity, though it adds to internal resource strain as the company pursues multiple ambitious programs led by a new Emerging Systems division.
