Project Kuiper is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

Our team owns the network transit services and related network capabilities that unlock customer value across all Kuiper verticals (Government, Consumer, Enterprise). This includes services like public internet access, private cloud connectivity, on-premises customer links, and layer 2 transit. The team partners closely with Kuiper's business units to identify high-value connectivity needs and develop innovative network services to meet customer needs.
