Jeff Bezos’ astronautics company Blue Origin announced its own satellite communications network Wednesday, teeing up competition for Elon Musk’s Starlink, which has largely dominated the satellite internet industry.

The communications network, TeraWave, will have 5,408 interconnected satellites in low Earth orbit and provide service for enterprise, data center and government users, according to Blue Origin.

TeraWave’s network of satellites will begin in the fourth quarter of 2027, Blue Origin said in a statement.
