AWS 推出的新服務,AWS Ground Station:「AWS Ground Station – Ingest and Process Data from Orbiting Satellites」。
AWS 目前在地面上見了兩個基地站 (預定要成長到 12 個),這個服務可以跟衛星溝通:
Ground Stations – As I mentioned earlier, we are launching today with 2 ground stations, and will have a total of 12 in operation by 2019. We will monitor utilization and demand, and will build additional stations and antennas as needed.
收費是按照分鐘計算:
Pricing – Pricing is per-minute of downlink time, with an option to pre-pay for blocks of minutes.
看起來是給租用衛星頻寬的人用的... 不過當初會決定作這個服務是吸了什麼 XDDD
