#AST SpaceMobile

AST SpaceMobile is a company that is building the first and only global broadband cellular network in space. Under the MoU, AST SpaceMobile will seek to offer cellular broadband network coverage to approximately 70 million Smart subscribers following the execution of definitive agreements and the successful launch of the SpaceMobile service. “Our collaboration with Smart to look into opportunities to offer the SpaceMobile service to their customers in rural communities would allow the company to offer affordable broadband cellular access to the unconnected for the first time ever,” said Abel Avellan, Chairman and CEO of AST SpaceMobile. “This new satellite communications technology aims to help us accomplish our mission of connecting the entire nation, where nobody gets left behind.” Source: AST SpaceMobile GFiber Prepaid offers fast speeds, though some load durations remain unavailable at higher tiers.
