Amazon has revealed its initial lineup of Project Kuiper antennas. The terminals look like furniture and will send data to and from Amazon’s Low Earth Orbit internet satellites. The biggest one measures 19 inches by 30 inches, which is even larger than a full-sized patio table. The enterprise, governmental, and telecommunications operations are the intended uses of that paradigm. Internet rates of up to 1 Gbps will be offered, according to Amazon.

The typical consumer terminal has a smaller footprint, about 11 inches square and 1 inch thick. It is under five pounds without its mounting bracket. According to Amazon, this antenna should be able to transmit speeds of up to 400 Mbps.
