Amazon has shown off the hardware that will be used by the first customers of its ProjectKuiper internet-from-space service.

Like SpaceX’s Starlink, Project Kuiper will use a constellation of small satellites to power a broadband service for customers around the world, though its primary focus will be on communities unserved or underserved by current internet technologies.Amazon said it’s been working on the design of its terminals to create something that’s “smaller, more affordable, and more capable” than those offered by the likes of SpaceX’s Starlink service, though it has yet to offer pricing details.

The second one has a 7-inch-square footprint and will be Project Kuiper’s smallest and most affordable customer terminal. However, at 100 Mbps, speeds will be slower than the standard terminal. Finally, Amazon will offer a high-bandwidth design for what it describes as “demanding needs,” and lists enterprise, government, and telecommunications applications as likely uses. This dish measures 19 inches by 30 inches and will deliver speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second .

“Prometheus combines the processing power of a 5G modem chip found in modern smartphones, the capability of a cellular base station to handle traffic from thousands of customers at once, and the ability of a microwave backhaul antenna to support powerful point-to-point connections,” the company said.
