AST SpaceMobile will 'imminently' begin direct-to-cell satellite service in the UK using Vodafone's licensed spectrum after receiving FCC authorization. The company targets nearly $1 billion revenue in its first full commercial year and plans to deploy 45 satellites by early 2027.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.

AST SpaceMobile moves satellite-to-phone service from concept to reality in the UK with Vodafone's spectrum cleared. You can explore partnerships or integrations now as the first large-scale low-Earth orbit network rolls out.
