American operators hold ~1,000 MHz of low and mid band spectrum, tunable on the @AST_SpaceMobile network. With our current satellites in orbit and in build, our United States partners will access critical low-band and mid-band spectrum that no one can match! When combined with the mobile network operators' extensive spectrum assets, and in combination with AST SpaceMobile controlled 45 MHz of L-band spectrum, users will see peak data rates of nearly 200 Mbps from the largest-ever satellites in low Earth orbit. Together we are making the strongest, most resilient, AI ready networks on the planet. 🇺🇸 🌎📶📱🤠

BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10 are now fully deployed to their full size, each the world's largest communications arrays operating in Low Earth Orbit. We invented a new way to design, manufacture at scale, deploy, and fly lightweight composite stackable architecture combined, with the world's largest and most advanced direct- to-device and radar phased-array with the ability to launch them in groups of 3, 5, 6, or 8 on a single launch. Our BlueBird platform brings together high-performance space-based cellular broadband with peak data rates approaching 200 Mbps, space AI edge computing, and many mission-critical government applications, all on one platform where the largest-ever size matters! BlueBirds 11, 12 and 13 are already at the Cape preparing for their imminent launch. BlueBirds 14, 15 and 16 are right behind them. Production has already moved through satellite 42. All of this is happening in Texas. 🤠🇺🇸📶🌎📱

BlueBirds 9 and 10 are now successfully deployed in orbit. Two more of the world's largest commercial communications arrays have joined our growing constellation. Another step closer to the future of cellular broadband from space. With BlueBirds 11, 12, and 13 at Cape Canaveral preparing for their imminent launch, and production advancing through spacecraft 41, we continue to execute at scale. Innovation in orbit. Execution in motion. 🌎📶📱🇺🇸 #ASTSpaceMobile #Broadband #ConnectingtheUnconnected #BlueBirds

Built Differently. Engineering at scale unfolded in orbit. This is cellular broadband from space. BlueBird 10 has successfully deployed in low Earth orbit. Adding another of the world's largest communications array - the size of a tennis court - to our growing constellation. BlueBirds 8 and 9 are next. Engineered for broadband connectivity to everyday smartphones. No special hardware. No modifications. Cellular broadband from space. 🌎📶📱🇺🇸 #ASTSpaceMobile #Broadband #ConnectingtheUnconnected #BlueBirds
