About AST SpaceMobile

AST SpaceMobile is developing a space-based cellular broadband network designed to connect directly with standard mobile phones. The company’s SpaceMobile system uses low Earth orbit satellites intended to work with existing mobile network operators and ordinary, unmodified smartphones. Its goal is to extend mobile service into places where terrestrial cellular coverage is limited, including remote communities, rural areas, maritime routes, and other coverage gaps. The company designs and manufactures large communications satellites, including its BlueBird spacecraft, and develops the space and ground infrastructure needed to provide direct-to-device connectivity. The planned service is intended to support cellular broadband capabilities such as voice, data, and video through partner mobile networks, rather than requiring customers to carry a specialized satellite phone. AST SpaceMobile works with mobile network operators to combine satellite coverage with their existing wireless services and spectrum arrangements. Telecommunications providers and government customers are the intended partners and users of the SpaceMobile network. AST SpaceMobile operates in satellite communications, direct-to-cell connectivity, non-terrestrial mobile networks, and space-based broadband infrastructure. The service depends on ongoing satellite deployment, network development, regulatory authorizations, and commercial rollout with partner carriers.
