当地时间7月27日消息,亚马逊卫星互联网业务Amazon Leo向美国联邦通信委员会(FCC)提交申请,计划部署最多5105颗卫星,提供手机直连卫星服务,为偏远地区用户提供语音、短信、数据传输和紧急通信服务,预计最早于2028年开始部署。Amazon Leo表示,该服务将与全球移动网络运营商合作,并利用其今年早些时候同意收购的Globalstar移动卫星频谱资源。该计划将使亚马逊的卫星业务从宽带互联网进一步拓展至卫星手机连接领域。目前,SpaceX、AST SpaceMobile和Lynk Global等企业也在推进手机直连卫星服务。Amazon Leo目前已发射约390颗第一代宽带卫星,并计划于今年晚些时候开始在部分区域推出固定宽带服务。(界面)
