These satellites from Amazon were sent via ATlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This was the first full-commercial launch of the Kuiper Project, indicating that this project has now gone out of the test phase and entered the real world.
Amazon Tell The Internet speed of Project Kuiper can range from 100Mbps to 1GBPS, which will help users a lot in activities like video streaming, work from home and online classes. Along with this, the company aims to keep the price of user terminal (antenna and router) less than $ 400 (about Rs 34,000), so that this service can reach more and more people.
Talking about India, Amazon has applied to Dot (Department of Telecommunication) for the license required to start its satellite service here. However, the date of launch here is not confirmed yet.
The project is directly competing with the Starlink Service of Elon Musk, which is already operating in America, Europe and some Asian countries. But about Kuiper, Amazon claims that it will not only be economical, but will also be faster and more scalable. This step of Amazon is a clear indication that now the match in the satellite internet sector has intensified. Where Starlink started the game, Amazon is now ready to give him a direct competition.
