The move marks another big step in Amazon’s plan to expand affordable high-speed internet access around the world.<\/p>\n The company reportedly plans to build ground infrastructure in Pakistan including gateway stations and local network points to support the service. Project Kuiper will use a network of over 3,200 low-Earth-orbit satellites, designed to deliver download speeds of up to 400 Mbps through low-cost user terminals.<\/p>\n Once launched, the service is expected to help connect remote and underserved regions, potentially transforming Pakistan’s digital landscape and creating new opportunities in its IT and telecom sectors.<\/p>\n Pakistan’s Federal Minister for IT & Telecommunication, Shaza Fatima Khawaja, called the initiative a step forward in advancing digital inclusion and strengthening our connectivity ecosystem.<\/p>\n With this expansion, Amazon is positioning Kuiper as a key rival to SpaceX’s Starlink in the global satellite internet race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
