Amazon’s Project Kuiper is set to launch satellite broadband services in Pakistan by the end of 2026, marking a significant step in the country’s digital transformation. The announcement was made following a high-level meeting between Pakistan’s Federal Minister for IT and Telecommunication, Shaza Fatima Khawaja, and a delegation from Project Kuiper on October 9, 2025.
The project aims to deliver high-speed, low-latency broadband via a constellation of up to 3,236 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The service will focus on reaching underserved and remote areas of Pakistan, which have traditionally struggled with reliable internet connectivity.
The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication confirmed that key infrastructure, including ground gateways and local points of presence (PoPs), will be established in Pakistan to support the satellite broadband rollout. This infrastructure will help ensure stable performance and seamless integration with Pakistan’s national network, providing internet speeds of up to 400 megabits per second through affordable user terminals.
Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja welcomed the collaboration, calling it a vital step toward expanding digital access across the country. She emphasized that Project Kuiper’s entry aligns with Pakistan’s vision of becoming a “Digital Nation,” where high-speed internet is accessible to all citizens, regardless of their location.
The initiative is expected to have a significant impact on Pakistan’s IT sector, fostering innovation, attracting foreign investment, and enabling the growth of digital services in areas such as education, healthcare, and e-commerce.
Officials from the Ministry of IT reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to facilitating international partnerships that contribute to the growth of a connected and inclusive digital economy. The arrival of Project Kuiper’s services is part of the country’s broader strategy to incorporate cutting-edge technologies and accelerate its digital transformation.
