UK Connect has announced a major new partnership agreement with Amazon Leo, Amazon’s Low Earth orbit satellite network. Under the agreement, UK Connect will serve as an authorised reseller of Amazon Leo, bringing high performance satellite internet to customers across UK enterprise, including construction, warehousing and logistics, and manufacturing sectors.
The agreement combines Amazon’s next-generation satellite technology with UK Connect’s extensive expertise in delivering mission-critical connectivity in some of the UK’s most demanding environments. Powered by a constellation of thousands of satellites, the Amazon Leo satellite network is designed to provide fast, reliable broadband connectivity to customers beyond the reach of traditional networks.
Joe Budnar-Hunt, CEO at UK Connect, said: “Being selected as an Amazon-approved partner is a significant milestone for us as a business. For more than a decade, we’ve delivered reliable connectivity to some of the UK’s most demanding environments, from mission-critical Ministry of Defence deployments to fast-paced construction site rollouts, and bespoke networks for complex, high-priority projects. This partnership will enable us to bring the latest high-performance satellite connectivity to our customers, ensuring reliable, resilient communications wherever they operate.”
Amazon Leo is designed to meet the demanding performance, reliability, and security requirements of enterprise customers worldwide. The system provides lower latency, higher bandwidth, and broader coverage than traditional satellite solutions, enabling real-time applications, remote operations, and hybrid network architectures. Customers will connect to the network using one of several compact, high-performance antennas: Leo Nano, Leo Pro, and Leo Ultra. Leo Ultra is the most powerful model in the line, capable of delivering download speeds of up to 1Gbps and upload speeds of up to 400 Mbps – capacity that supports demanding enterprise applications.
When offered as part of a comprehensive enterprise connectivity solution such as FUSION by UK Connect, customers can benefit from high performance, highly available connectivity supported by a fully managed services wrapper. Serving key industries across the UK, UK Connect will offer Amazon Leo as part of its portfolio of services, tailored to the sectors it serves including construction, warehousing and logistics and manufacturing sectors.
