Amazon bulks up its LEO Direct-to-Device (D2D) services by acquiring GlobalStar - a Louisiana based mobile satellite services (MSS) operator.

Amazon is picking up Globalstar’s existing satellite fleet, satellite operations, infrastructure and assets, including spectrum licenses with global authorizations with the goal to bolster its own direct-to-device satellite system, which it expects to start deploying in 2028.

Oh, ya, there is a little side deal with Apple too! https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/amazon-globalstar-apple #Amazon #GlobalStar #LEO #Apple #D2D #Direct2Device #Space #Satellite #Mobility #SatelliteServices
