How Amazon Leo plans to connect mobile devices from space
Amazon Leo filed with the FCC to deploy 5,105 satellites beginning in 2028, connecting mobile devices directly from space. The constellation uses advanced signal processing to maximize spectrum efficiency and minimize interference. Amazon's Globalstar acquisition enables the D2D system to complement Leo's broadband network and partnerships with Vodafone, DirecTV, and Australia's National Broadband Network. The system reaches any compatible mobile device, including iPhones with satellite capability, extending connectivity to billions of customers globally where terrestrial deployment is impractical.
