From PC Mag: Amazon has been working with an Israeli company on a custom antenna to connect to the company’s Starlink challenger, Leo.
In a filing last week with the Federal Communications Commission, Amazon asked for experimental authority to test the equipment just north of Los Angeles. The custom antenna comes from Get SAT, an Israeli developer of smaller satellite communication terminals that sells to governments, defense agencies, and enterprises. It was reportedly acquired by French aerospace and defense company Thales in 2024.
Get SAT's large catalog of satellite antennas includes the Sling Blade Nano, a 9-pound device that's slightly larger than Amazon’s 2-pound Leo Nano dish, which can offer speeds up to 100Mbps. However, Get SAT’s model appears to be more rugged and possibly more powerful.
