Amazon's Kuiper orbital internet system, set to provide broadband connectivity from orbit, will incorporate national security features, including resiliency and high-speed connectivity. The project is similar to SpaceX's Starlink, utilizing laser crosslinks for a mesh network. Kuiper's customer terminals range from 100 mbps to 1 gigabit per second, catering to various users. The system's potential applications extend to remote locations and military connectivity, with plans to collaborate with the U.S. Space Force. However, challenges include outdated federal policies on spectrum sharing.
