Ahoy, mateys! AST SpaceMobile from the Lone Star state be concoctin' a grand scheme—an all-seein' sea of cell waves that’ll hook yer trusty smartphone without no fancy gizmos! Yarr, soon ye'll be chattin' from the crow's nest to Davy Jones himself!
Their grand mission? To make sure ye can holler fer help from the highest mountaintops to the loneliest islands! In April 2023, they pulled off a feat worthy of the finest tales at sea—two-way chitchat via the ether with a regular ol' cell phone, thanks to their spiffy satellite, Blue Walker 3, launched with the might of SpaceX! And by September 2023, they were streamin' data faster than a cannonball flies—14 Mbps, savvy?
With plans to unleash a fleet of 168 satellites, these sea dogs be aim'n for 120 Mbps! They’ve made alliances with powerful telecoms like AT&T and Verizon, targetin' 2.8 billion souls to keep 'em connected. But beware, me hearties! Bright satellites could ruffle the feathers of astronomers, and space debris may become a thorn in their side!
So, hoist yer flag, for AST SpaceMobile might soon make bein’ out of range a forgotten tale! Arrr!
