AST SpaceMobile, Inc. ("AST SpaceMobile") (NASDAQ:ASTS), the company building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly by everyday smartphones, designed for both commercial and government applications, today announced the signing of a definitive commercial agreement with Verizon ((NYSE, NASDAQ:VZ) to provide direct-to-cellular AST SpaceMobile service when needed for Verizon customers starting in 2026. This service will further enhance Verizon's already expansive and award-winning network, building upon the exceptional service and ubiquitous connectivity customers currently enjoy.
The combination of Verizon's highly reliable terrestrial mobile network, the use of premium multi-operator 850 MHz cellular spectrum, and AST SpaceMobile's next-generation space-based cellular network in low Earth orbit, is planned to enable cellular customers to stay connected wherever they are, from hiking trails to city centers and everywhere in between.
Featuring the largest-ever commercial communications arrays deployed in low Earth orbit, AST SpaceMobile's network can connect directly to everyday smartphones, eliminating the need for specialized equipment. AST SpaceMobile's network is designed to operate across premium low-band spectrum, the company's own licensed L-band and S-band spectrum, and up to 1,150 MHz of mobile network operator partners' low- and mid-band spectrum, globally. These capabilities advance AST SpaceMobile's efforts toward commercial service.
"Through our definitive commercial agreement with Verizon, we are working to deliver space-based cellular broadband coverage from space across the continental United States," said Abel Avellan, Founder, Chairman and CEO of AST SpaceMobile. "The agreement will extend the scope of Verizon's 850 MHz premium low-band spectrum into areas of the U.S. that would benefit from the ubiquitous reach of space-based broadband technology."
