Amazon is constructing a dedicated processing facility for satellite communication 'Project Kuiper' in Cape Canaveral for about 17 billion yen
Amazon launches more than 3,000 satellites into the low orbit of the earth and plans to build a satellite communication network that can be used from anywhere in the world '

According to Amazon, Project Kuiper's full-scale production start and initial service deployment will start in 2024. The new Cape Canaveral processing facility, adjacent to NASA's Space Center, will be used for final preparations prior to launch. Sanitary production itself will take place at a facility in Kirkland, Washington, where construction has already been announced .
Amazon said, ``We have secured 77 large rockets to deploy satellites, most of which are provided by Blue Origin and United Launch Alliance (ULA) and launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Base.''
Earon Mask's Starlink has already started a system that launches satellites in low orbit to enable network communication, and Starlink's satellite communication is available from KDDI in Japan. Amazon's Project Kuiper is a rival to Starlink, and attention is focused on unannounced parts such as differences in services between the two companies.
Project Kuiper's 'antenna' has already been announced, and it is known that there are multiple options available, from a highly portable antenna with a maximum communication speed of 100 Mbps to a high-performance antenna that provides a maximum of 1 Gbps.

In addition, Starlink's communication speed is the fastest downlink 220 Mbps.
However, Starlink has launched the second generation Starlink satellite 'V2 Mini' that enables high-speed communication four times faster than before, and the speed may increase further in the future.

It is reported that China is also participating in satellite communication, and in February 2023, it was reported that ``we are planning to launch 12,992 satellites.''
There is a high possibility that China will build a network of 12,992 low-orbit satellites and interfere with Starlink's artificial satellites, claiming that ``Starlink satellites can destroy other satellites''-GIGAZINE
