AST SpaceMobile\u2019s network is designed to operate across premium low-band spectrum, the company\u2019s own licensed L-band and S-band spectrum, and up to 1,150 MHz of mobile network operator partners\u2019 low- and mid-band spectrum, globally. These capabilities advance AST SpaceMobile\u2019s efforts toward commercial service.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThrough our definitive commercial agreement with Verizon, we are working to deliver space-based cellular broadband coverage from space across the continental United States,\u201d said Abel Avellan, Founder, Chairman and CEO of AST SpaceMobile. \u201cThe agreement will extend the scope of Verizon\u2019s 850 MHz premium low-band spectrum into areas of the U.S. that would benefit from the ubiquitous reach of space-based broadband technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Proven Technology Through Successful Trials<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThis agreement follows testing milestones that have proven the capabilities of the AST SpaceMobile network. In a recent demonstration, the companies successfully completed direct voice and video calls, as well as two-way RCS messaging, between standard, unmodified smartphones and a BlueBird satellite in space. A crystal-clear Voice over LTE (VoLTE) call was made from a smartphone on Verizon&#8217;s network in Texas, connecting via an AST SpaceMobile satellite to another Verizon smartphone in New Jersey. These successful tests represent a significant leap in satellite-to-cellular technology and pave the way for a future of ubiquitous connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;This partnership with AST SpaceMobile is a good step forward in our mission to build a seamlessly connected world. We are not just filling in the map; we are creating a new paradigm of connectivity that will unlock the full potential of the digital age,\u201d said Srini Kalapala, Senior Vice President of Technology and Product Development at Verizon. \u201cBy integrating our expansive, reliable, robust terrestrial network with this innovative space-based technology, we are paving the way for a future where everything and everyone can be connected, regardless of geography.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>About AST SpaceMobile<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAST SpaceMobile is building the first and only global cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices and designed for both commercial and government applications. Our engineers and space scientists are on a mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by today\u2019s five billion mobile subscribers and finally bring broadband to the billions who remain unconnected.
