Satlink, a Spanish company specializing in satellite telecommunications, has signed a distribution agreement with Amazon Leo, Amazon’s low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network. The agreement, announced today in Madrid, makes the company an authorized distributor and will allow it to offer high-performance satellite Internet to maritime customers worldwide.
Amazon Leo is a constellation of thousands of satellites that will serve residential customers, businesses, and government agencies. Its goal, as detailed, is to provide high-speed, low-latency broadband in areas not reached by traditional networks. Compared to conventional satellite solutions, the system promises lower latency, greater bandwidth, and wider coverage, facilitating the use of real-time applications, remote operations, and hybrid network architectures.
Customers will access the network using three compact antennas: Leo Nano, Leo Pro, and Leo Ultra. The latter, the most powerful in the lineup, achieves download speeds of up to 1 Gbps and upload speeds of up to 400 Mbps—capabilities designed for business applications with high connectivity demands.
24-hour support and customized service
Satlink will be responsible for designing and implementing solutions tailored to the needs of each customer and each environment, including operations at sea and in remote areas. The company offers 24/7 support and ensures that its priorities are service availability, operational continuity, data security, and communications resilience.
David Carmona, head of Satellite Communications at Satlink, describes the agreement as “an important step toward expanding our offering of next-generation connectivity solutions for the maritime sector.” Carmona adds that having an alternative in the LEO constellation will make it possible to “develop new onboard capabilities, facilitate real-time operations, and accelerate the digital transformation of the maritime sector.”
