AST SpaceMobile, Inc.
AST SpaceMobile is developing a satellite network designed to deliver cellular broadband directly to standard, unmodified smartphones outside terrestrial coverage. It plans to work with mobile network operators (MNOs), which would offer the service to their customers, and has partnerships with over 50 MNOs. The service has not launched. AST SpaceMobile also performs tasks for the U.S. government and sells gateway equipment, software and related services to MNOs. Its satellites, branded BlueBird, use large phased-array antennas, and its planned service is intended to support voice, text, data and video. AST SpaceMobile expects to make money primarily through revenue-sharing arrangements with MNOs once the service is available. It also earns revenue from government work and sales of gateway equipment and related services. The company is headquartered in Texas, where it operates satellite assembly, integration and test facilities. It also has engineering and development centers in the United States, India and Scotland, and engineering, development and production centers in Spain and Israel.
