亚马逊Leo发布航空千兆天线 单天线可连整机

Key takeaways - The Amazon Leo Aviation Antenna is purpose-built to maximize performance and minimize maintenance. - The full-duplex antenna delivers speeds of up to 1 Gbps down and 400 Mbps up simultaneously. - A single antenna connects a full aircraft for entertainment, collaboration, and crew operations. - The low-profile antenna has no moving parts, reducing maintenance, and can be installed in one day. Amazon Leo is preparing to provide fast, reliable internet connectivity to a wide variety of customers, using satellites in low Earth orbit to deliver high speeds and low latency across land, sea, and skies. We design our hardware to optimize performance across the network, and our newest antenna, the Amazon Leo Aviation Antenna, will allow commercial airline passengers and crew to enjoy high performance from their departure gate all the way to their arrival gate. A first-class connectivity experience in every seat While the Amazon Leo Aviation Antenna has numerous design features to increase aircraft and airline operational efficiency, the most noticeable impact will be on passengers and crew connecting to the Amazon Leo network, whether that’s at cruising altitude or parked at the gate. The antenna is appropriate for a range of aviation use cases, from wide-body commercial aircraft to regional jets. Its full-duplex phased array technology delivers simultaneous speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) download and 400 megabits per second (Mbps) upload while users are aboard the aircraft. A single Amazon Leo Aviation Antenna provides enough bandwidth for premium connectivity experiences across every seat class, while airline crew can use it to improve the passenger experience and operations using near-real-time information. “Amazon Leo can connect a full plane of passengers and crew with speeds that handle any activity seamlessly, whether passengers want to game, watch a movie, listen to music, or collaborate with colleagues on a project,” said Trevor Vieweg, director of global business for Amazon Leo. “We expect our service to be so fast and reliable that passengers will seek out flights featuring Leo connectivity.” Purpose-built for performance and simplicity Although the Amazon Leo Aviation Antenna shares some of the same core technology that powers our Leo Ultra antenna, it needed to be purpose-built for the demands and stresses of aviation. That meant engineering an electronically steered antenna with no moving parts (to reduce maintenance downt…
