Amazon to acquire Globalstar and expand Amazon Leo satellite network
Today Amazon.com, Inc. and Globalstar, Inc. announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Amazon will acquire Globalstar, enabling Amazon Leo to add direct-to-device (D2D) services to its low Earth orbit satellite network and extend cellular coverage to customers beyond the reach of terrestrial networks. In addition, Amazon and Apple announced an agreement for Amazon Leo to power satellite services for supported iPhone and Apple Watch models, including Emergency SOS via satellite. The new capabilities are part of Amazon's long-term vision for space-based connectivity, and Amazon plans to work with mobile network operators (MNOs) and additional partners to deliver on that vision and extend reliable, high-speed connectivity to customers, no matter where they are in the world.

AWS launches Amazon Bio Discovery to accelerate AI-powered research in life sciences
AWS launches Amazon Bio Discovery, an AI-powered application that accelerates drug development by giving scientists direct access to biological foundation models and an AI agent that automates complex tasks-reducing antibody design timelines from months to weeks. The application addresses key barriers in drug discovery by providing a benchmarked library of AI models, natural language interaction for non-coders, and integrated lab partners (including Twist Bioscience and Ginkgo Bioworks) that create a continuous feedback loop between computational design and physical testing. In partnership with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the platform designed nearly 300,000 novel antibody molecules for potential pediatric cancer therapies, with the top 100,000 candidates sent for lab testing in weeks-a process that traditionally takes up to a year.
