Amazon investing $120M in Florida satellite facility for Project Kuiper broadband network

Amazon is building a $120 million satellite processing facility in Florida for its Project Kuiper broadband network.
The facility will prepare satellites for launch into low Earth orbit to provide high-speed internet access worldwide.
Amazon aims to launch a constellation of over 3,000 satellites to compete with SpaceX's Starlink network.
The Florida site will conduct final integration of satellites built in Washington before they are launched on rockets.
Amazon has secured numerous launch contracts and aims to have half its network deployed by 2026 after initial prototype launches.
