Blue Origin TeraWave 6Tbps: Bezos Unveils Ultra-Fast Space Internet
Blue Origin announces TeraWave, a satellite internet network offering up to 6Tbps for enterprises and governments, challenging SpaceX Starlink's dominance.
The race for space-based connectivity just hit warp speed. Jeff Bezos’ space venture, Blue Origin, has announced a new satellite network called 'TeraWave,' capable of delivering data speeds up to 6Tbps. Designed specifically for enterprises, data centers, and government clients, it's a direct challenge to the current dominance of satellite internet infrastructure.
Blue Origin TeraWave 6Tbps Technical Architecture
TeraWave won't rely on a single orbit. The constellation will consist of 5,280 satellites in low-Earth orbit (LEO) and 128 in medium-Earth orbit (MEO). While the LEO units utilize standard RF connectivity for speeds up to 144 Gbps, the MEO satellites employ advanced optical links to achieve the headline-grabbing 6Tbps throughput.
| Feature | Blue Origin TeraWave | SpaceX Starlink |
|---|---|---|
| Max Speed | Up to 6Tbps | 400Mbps (Current) |
| Target Audience | Enterprise & Gov | Consumer & Commercial |
| Deployment Start | Late 2027 | In Service |
| Key Technology | Optical Links (MEO) | RF Connectivity |
Strategic Positioning Against Starlink
This move complements Bezos’ other satellite project, Amazon’s 'Leo' (formerly Project Kuiper), which focuses on consumer broadband. By launching TeraWave, Blue Origin is pivoting toward the high-margin enterprise sector. This tiered approach aims to offer a robust alternative to Starlink, which currently leads the market with over 9 million customers.
