Key Points Jeff Bezos-backed Blue Origin is launching a satellite internet network for enterprise, data center and government customers, called TeraWave. The company aims to begin deploying the first of 5,408 satellites in the fourth quarter of 2027. The service will compete with services including SpaceX's Starlink and Amazon-operated Leo. In this article Elon Musk's xAI faces tougher road building out data centers after EPA rule update Amazon, which Bezos founded in 1994, has also ramped up its own offering in the past year. The service recently rebranded from Project Kuiper to Leo. The company has sent up 180 satellites since last April through a series of rocket launches handled by partners such as United Launch Alliance and SpaceX. Several future deployments are expected to be handled by Blue Origin. Amazon aims to build a constellation of 3,236 low Earth satellites that will serve businesses, governments and consumers. Last November, the company opened up an "enterprise preview" to select users ahead of a broader commercial launch. Bezos predicted in 2024 that Blue Origin would one day be a bigger company than Amazon. He founded Blue Origin in 2000, and Dave Limp, Amazon's former devices boss, serves as its CEO. "I think it's going to be the best business that I've ever been involved in, but it's going to take a while," Bezos said in a 2024 interview at The New York Times' DealBook Summit. Blue Origin is primarily a rocket launch company, flying tourists and research to the edge of space on short trips. Last January, the startup notched a major milestone when it successfully launched its towering New Glenn rocket for the first time, though it was unable to return the rocket's booster back to a barge for reuse. watch now
