Amazon seeks federal approval to launch 5,105 satellites for direct-to-device network

📰 source: cnbc_topnews · 💼 business

amazon asked the fcc for approval to launch up to 5,105 satellites for a direct-to-device network. the company will combine its existing satellites with globalstar's spectrum and satellites, which it acquired in an $11.6 billion deal. the network aims to serve people in areas without traditional cell coverage, plus emergency services and remote worksites. amazon expects the globalstar deal to close in 2027 and deployment to begin in 2028. its d2d network will compete with spacex's starlink mobile, which offers service via t-mobile. amazon currently has over 390 satellites in orbit and plans to start initial service later this year. the fcc recently gave amazon a waiver on deploying 1,600 satellites by july 30, but it must launch all 3,232 first-gen satellites by july 2029.

why it matters: amazon enters direct-to-device satellite market, challenging spacex, with potential to expand connectivity for millions of underserved users.
