Amazon’s Project Kuiper (NASDAQ:AMZN) will offer satellite broadband services in Pakistan by the end of 2026 as part of a multi-billion-dollar global investment initiative, according to several regional media reports on Thursday.
The reports suggested the Kuiper team plans to set up ground infrastructure in Pakistan, including gateways and points of presence.
The country will leverage Amazon’s constellation of up to 3,236 LEO satellites, which will offer speeds of up to 400 Mbps through affordable terminals and also cover the remote regions.
The move is expected to create new opportunities in Pakistan’s IT sector, the reports said.
“Project Kuiper’s entry into Pakistan is a step forward in advancing digital inclusion and strengthening our connectivity ecosystem,” Pakistan’s Federal Minister for IT & Telecommunication, Shaza Fatima Khawaja, reportedly said.
