Primary source: Amazon: Leo Ultra, Leo Pro and the enterprise preview (Nov 24, 2025)
On Nov 24, 2025, Amazon Leo, formerly Project Kuiper, opened its first outside test to companies, not homes. Amazon wrote that it “is shipping units of Leo Pro and Leo Ultra to select companies as part of this new enterprise preview.” The same post set out the three customer antennas, with Leo Ultra in its final form.
What Amazon announced
Amazon described the preview as “a new preview program for select enterprise customers to begin testing Amazon Leo services ahead of a wider commercial rollout next year.” That “next year” was 2026. Amazon’s FAQ later added that the preview lets select business customers test the network “using production hardware and software.”
The antennas, in one line: Leo Nano (7 x 7 in, up to 100 Mbps download), Leo Pro (11 x 11 in, up to 400 Mbps) and Leo Ultra (20 x 30 in, up to 1 Gbps down and 400 Mbps up), which Amazon called “the fastest customer terminal in production”. These are Amazon’s top rated speeds, and its US site says its speed figures are “based on limited preliminary testing”. The terminals page has the full specs and how they line up.
Who was in, and who wasn’t
- In: select companies, testing with Leo Pro and Leo Ultra units.
- Not shipped: the Leo Nano, the smallest antenna, wasn’t among the units Amazon said it was shipping.
- Not in: households. The public option was an email sign-up for news, the same “Join the list” form on leo.amazon.com today. It holds no place in line.
The rename from Project Kuiper came 11 days earlier, on Nov 13, 2025.
What’s changed since
| Date | Step | Open to households? |
|---|---|---|
| Nov 24, 2025 | Enterprise preview: Pro and Ultra to select companies | No |
| Feb 4, 2026 | AT&T agreement to deliver Leo to US business customers | No |
| Sep 22, 2026 | Testing with employees and select enterprise customers in a private preview | No |
| Oct 13, 2026 | US Army demo with a Leo Pro: one peak speed published | No |
| Oct 29, 2026 | Amazon “on track to begin initial service” later in 2026, no places named | Not stated |
The “wider commercial rollout” planned for 2026 hadn’t reached US homes as of Nov 3, 2026: no plan, no price and no start date. None of the three antennas had a published US price either, and Amazon’s US site says the devices can’t be sold or leased until they have FCC authorization.
For a home weighing the Nano or Pro
There’s nothing to price yet. If a Leo antenna is part of your plan, the inputs that matter (antenna cost, monthly price, start date at your address) are all unpublished. The Army demo’s single peak figure for the Pro is covered in its own post, and the tracker logs the next step when Amazon takes it.
