As enterprises increasingly rely on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for mission-critical workloads, the need for secure, high-performance connectivity has never been greater—especially for operations at the edge. Enter Amazon Leo Private Network, a game-changing solution that combines LEO satellite technology with AWS’s global infrastructure to deliver fast, encrypted, and private connectivity anywhere in the world.

What Makes Amazon Leo Private Network Different?

Amazon Leo will offer two primary private networking solutions:

  1. Direct to AWS
    Connect workloads directly to AWS services such as VPC, Transit Gateway, or even on-premises environments—without touching the public internet.
  2. Private Network Interconnect
    Securely move data between AWS and other clouds or enterprise networks using private, encrypted pathways.

This approach ensures end-to-end security with AES 256-bit encryption, protecting data in transit across point-to-point connections. Whether you’re running IoT applications, AWS Outposts, Monitron, or supporting remote users, Amazon Leo enables direct, private connectivity for workloads at the edge.

Performance You Can Trust

  • High-Speed Throughput: Over 1 Gbps download and 400 Mbps upload with Amazon Leo Ultra terminals.
  • Low Latency: ~50 ms round trip, ideal for real-time cloud interactions.
  • Global Reach: Coverage up to 56° North and South Latitude, extending AWS services to remote sites, vessels, and platforms.

Why Private Networking Matters

Traditional satellite links often route traffic through the public internet, introducing latency and security risks. Amazon Leo’s private network option keeps your data on Amazon’s encrypted backbone, leveraging AWS’s 9 million km of terrestrial and subsea fiber, which is the highest throughput, lowest latency cloud network in the world. This means:

  • Faster AWS Service Access
  • Enhanced Security
  • Consistent Performance Across Regions
