Bezos Unveils TeraWave: A 6Tbps Blue Origin Satellite Constellation
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin announces TeraWave, a megaconstellation of 5,408 satellites designed to deliver data speeds of up to 6Tbps anywhere on Earth.
6Tbps speeds from the heavens are no longer a fantasy. Blue Origin, the space venture founded by Jeff Bezos, announced a massive new megaconstellation on Wednesday that aims to deliver unprecedented data rates to any corner of the globe.
The Architecture of Blue Origin TeraWave Satellite Constellation
The project, named TeraWave, will consist of 5,408 optically interconnected satellites. According to the company, the fleet will be split between low-Earth orbit (LEO) and medium-Earth orbit (MEO), creating a multi-layered mesh network that blankets the planet.
Optical Links vs. Radio Spectrum
The LEO component of the constellation will utilize radio spectrum to provide up to 144Gbps. However, the real power lies in the MEO satellites, which use optical interconnects to facilitate high-speed data transfers. This hybrid approach allows for both wide-area coverage and high-density data pipelines.
