AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

AST SpaceMobile, Inc. is developing the world’s first and only space-based cellular broadband network that connects directly to standard mobile phones. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Midland, Texas, the company aims to eliminate terrestrial coverage gaps by deploying a constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites that function as cell towers in space. This approach enables voice and data services to be delivered globally without the need for additional user equipment such as satellite-enabled handsets or terminals.

AST SpaceMobile’s product roadmap includes its BlueWalker and BlueBird satellite series. The BlueWalker satellites serve as pathfinder missions to validate key technologies—such as large phased-array antennas and direct-to-device connectivity—while the BlueBird line will form the backbone of the operational network. Once fully deployed, the constellation is expected to provide continuous coverage across landmasses and major shipping routes, supporting both consumer and enterprise applications.

The company has forged partnerships and service agreements with leading mobile network operators around the world, including AT&T in the United States, Vodafone in Europe and Asia, Rakuten in Japan, and other regional carriers. These collaborations will enable AST SpaceMobile to integrate seamlessly with existing cellular infrastructures and extend service to remote, underserved areas. By leveraging established roaming agreements and local spectrum licenses, the company aims to accelerate time to market and broaden its addressable user base.

AST SpaceMobile is led by founder and Chief Executive Officer Abel Avellan, whose prior experience includes strategic roles in aerospace and telecommunications ventures. The executive team combines expertise in satellite engineering, network design and regulatory affairs, positioning the company to navigate the complex challenges of building a global space-based network. With regional offices across North America, Europe and Asia, AST SpaceMobile is advancing toward its goal of bringing reliable, high-speed connectivity to every corner of the planet.
