AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:ASTS) stock is a hot topic on Monday as investors react to the company successfully setting up its BlueWalker 3 satellite array.
This satellite array offers up direct connections to cell phones via 3GPP standard frequencies. This allows them to operate at 5G speeds and covers 300,000 square miles on the Earth’s surface.
With BlueWalker 3 unfolded, AST SpaceMobile is closing in on its goal of offering fast connection speed to customers around the world. It already has contracts with several wireless providers, such as Vodafone (NASDAQ:VOD), AT&T (NYSE:T) and Telefonica (NYSE:VIV).
Chris Sambar, president of Network at AT&T, said the following:
“We’re excited to see AST SpaceMobile reach this significant milestone. AT&T’s core mission is connecting people to greater possibilities on the largest wireless network in America. Working with AST SpaceMobile, we believe there is a future opportunity to even further extend our network reach including to otherwise remote and off-grid locations.”
