Clarus Networks has signed an agreement to become an authorised reseller of Amazon Leo, bringing the e-commerce giant’s low Earth orbit satellite broadband to UK enterprise and maritime customers.
The Edinburgh-based managed connectivity provider announced the deal on Wednesday (17 June), under which it will sell and manage Amazon Leo connectivity for organisations operating beyond the reach of terrestrial networks.
The agreement covers vessels, offshore operations, remote sites, temporary locations, mobile assets, and distributed enterprise networks. Clarus said the offering targets customers that need resilient, high-performance connectivity where fixed-line and cellular infrastructure does not reach.
What Amazon Leo offers
Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network, rebranded from Project Kuiper in November 2025 as the company moved from prototype testing to commercial deployment.
The network is built on a constellation that Amazon plans to grow to more than 3,000 satellites, with the company authorised by the US Federal Communications Commission to operate 3,236 spacecraft.
The FCC has required Amazon to place half of that first-generation constellation into service by 30 July.
Customers connect to the network using one of three antennas: Leo Nano, Leo Pro, and Leo Ultra. Leo Ultra is the most powerful model in the range, built for business and government users and capable of download speeds of up to 1 Gbps and upload speeds of up to 400 Mbps.
Amazon states the system delivers lower latency, higher bandwidth, and broader coverage than traditional satellite services, supporting real-time applications, remote operations, and hybrid network architectures.
A managed-service layer for the constellation
Under the agreement, Clarus Networks will combine the Amazon Leo network with its own design, deployment, and management capabilities, backed by 24/7 network operations and field engineering.
The company positions the reseller deal as a way to fold satellite capacity into managed network architectures rather than selling raw connectivity alone.
Derek Phillips, Managing Director of Clarus Networks, said the agreement was an important step in giving customers more choice and resilience.
“By combining Amazon Leo low Earth orbit satellite technology with our managed service, deployment expertise, and 24/7 operational support, we can help customers build more reliable, flexible, and future-ready networks,” Phillips said.
Phillips added that customers were increasingly seeking connectivity strategies not tied to a single network, geography, or legacy infrastructure model. He said Amazon Leo would open up new opportunities for resilient connectivity across demanding environments.
