Crane Worldwide Logistics will be the first global logistics provider to implement Amazon Leo satellite technology, enhancing its supply chain resilience and business continuity. Amazon Leo is powered by a constellation of 3,000+ satellites in low Earth orbit and extensive ground networking and infrastructure, allowing it to provide faster speeds, lower latency and more reliable service than traditional satellite systems—ensuring operations continue even when terrestrial networks fail.
Amazon Leo, Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network, is designed to deliver fast, reliable connectivity to customers and communities worldwide. The service will reach a wide range of customers on the ground—from residential households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and emergency services—and will also improve connectivity for planes, ships, logistics facilities, and other assets operating beyond the reach of traditional networks.
Crane Worldwide is the first global logistics company with plans to bring Amazon's satellite internet network to its global operations. This collaboration will enhance supply chain connectivity, enabling teams to better manage, track, and communicate—even during natural disasters and other emergencies.
Under the agreement, Crane Worldwide will implement Amazon Leo low Earth orbit satellite technology at select facilities. The company will continue offering seamless operational connectivity to all teams with the Amazon Leo-powered system.
"Our agreement with Amazon Leo marks an exciting leap forward for us as the hands-down leader in supply chain resilience," said Marc Crudgington, VP IT Infrastructure and Cybersecurity of Crane Worldwide Logistics. "Whether it's coordinating shipments, staying connected with partners, or responding to emergencies, we're always looking for ways to make our operations as connected and productive as possible—even in the most challenging conditions."
Unlike traditional geostationary satellites that orbit approximately 22,369 miles (36,000 km) above the planet, low Earth orbit systems operate at much lower altitudes. In the case of Amazon Leo, satellites orbit between 367 and 391 miles (590 and 630 km) above Earth, which translates to lower latency and more reliable service for logistics teams on the ground.
Crane will use the Amazon Leo Ultra antenna to power its operations—a full-duplex, Ka-band phased array antenna that can support download speeds up to 1 Gbps on a single device. With best-in-class downlink and uplink performance, the antenna will provide substantial bandwidth for data-intensive activities, including warehouse management, transportation tracking, and emergency communications.
By deploying Amazon Leo antennas at key facilities, Crane Worldwide will ensure reliable, high-speed connectivity when terrestrial networks are compromised—whether from wildfires, flooding, or other disruptions.
"Staying connected is part of everyday business, even when facing the unexpected," said Chris Weber, vice president of consumer and enterprise business for Amazon Leo. "With a space-based mesh network like Amazon Leo, businesses like Crane can maintain high-speed connectivity across their operations—at home, in the warehouse, or across the globe—even when existing networks struggle or fail."
