US EditionMusk Vs. Bezos: Starlink's Rival Will Launch Over 5,000 Satellites Next Year
Blue Origin's TeraWave, with 5,408 satellites, targets enterprise and government sectors, promising up to 6 Tbps throughput and backup connectivity during terrestrial outages.
- Blue Origin unveiled TeraWave, a megaconstellation delivering up to 6 terabits per second through 5,408 optically interconnected satellites in low and medium Earth orbit.
- Responding to rising AI-driven data needs, Blue Origin designed TeraWave to sell connectivity to enterprises, data centers, and government customers, supporting future orbital data centers.
- In its architecture, low Earth orbit satellites handle up to 144 gigabits per second each via radio links, with about 5,000 LEO satellites offering gigabit speeds and 128 optical ground-beaming satellites beaming data to the ground.
- The move could prompt competitors as the announcement may pressure SpaceX's Starlink to bolster business and government offerings, while TeraWave's focus overlaps with Amazon Leo, creating tensions.
- Deployment is tied to New Glenn, with satellite launches planned for late 2027 but dependent on New Glenn heavy-lift rocket performance, and TeraWave adds capital strain to Blue Origin's launch manifest as Amazon booked launches with SpaceX.
