Amazon Plans 5,105-Satellite Network for Global Cellular Coverage
Amazon is developing a satellite constellation of up to 5,105 spacecraft to deliver voice calls, messaging, and mobile data worldwide. The network aims to provide cellular connectivity directly to standard phones, bypassing traditional ground towers. This initiative positions Amazon to compete with SpaceX's Starlink and other satellite broadband providers.
