The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted AST SpaceMobile an experimental license that allows the company to test BlueWalker 3 satellite-to-phone connectivity in the United States at sites in Texas and Hawaii. We want to close the gap between the digital ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’.” “This revolutionary technology supports our mission to eliminate the connectivity gaps faced by more than 5 billion mobile subscribers today moving in and out of coverage, and bring cellular broadband to approximately half of the world’s population who remain unconnected. “The launch of BlueWalker 3 is the culmination of years of effort by our engineers to let us test connecting the phone in your pocket, with no modifications to the phone, directly with one of our satellites in space,” said Abel Avellan, Chairman and CEO of AST SpaceMobile. B4RN is a professionally designed fibre optic broadband network approximately 14 million rural Americans still lack mobile LTE broadband at speeds of 10 Mbps/3 Mbps The most frequent services available for Internet in rural areas are satellite and/or DSL O2, Three and Vodafone have unveiled their plans as part of the Shared Rural Network scheme. The BlueWalker 3 mission is expected to complete the company’s initial research and development program and facilitate integration testing with mobile network operators around the world. To date, the company has over 2,300 patent and patent-pending claims in support of its technology. AST SpaceMobile has invested approximately $85 million in the satellite’s development and the company’s engineers have successfully conducted more than 800 ground tests with BlueWalker 3. BlueWalker 3 carries a 693-square-foot phased array that is designed to test cellular broadband communications directly with standard mobile phones, from space, for the first time.
