# Internet-Supporting Space Terminals Amazon's New Terminals Benefit its Internet-From-Space Project By Kanesa D | Published 2023-03-15 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-2 References: [digitaltrends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/space/amazon-customer-terminals-project-kuiper/) & [amazon](https://www.amazon.ca/?tag=trenhunt0f-20)  [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-fire-tv-stick-4k-max) has previewed the new [customer terminals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-terminals) which will be used by individuals apart of [Project Kuiper’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-prometheus) internet-from-space project. Project Kuiper will employ a constellation of tiny satellites to provide broadband access to users worldwide. However, it will primarily target untapped or underserved areas by present internet technologies. Customers who own a compatible terminal can receive broadband signals using its “smaller, more affordable, and more capable” design. Amazon’s baseband chip, Prometheus, will back the project. “Prometheus combines the processing power of a 5G modem chip found in modern smartphones, the capability of a cellular base station to handle traffic from thousands of customers at once, and the ability of a microwave backhaul antenna to support powerful point-to-point connections,” the company said.
