AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) Stock Skyrockets on Verizon Deal – Is Satellite-to-Phone Broadband the Next Big Thing?

AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (ASTS) – Key Facts

Company Overview AST SpaceMobile (formerly AST & Science) is an American satellite communications company founded by Abel Avellan, who had previously sold his last venture (Emerging Markets Communications) for $550 M in 2016 en.wikipedia.org. The company’s mission is to eliminate terrestrial coverage gaps by deploying the first space-based cellular broadband network accessible by ordinary smartphones en.wikipedia.org. In practice, AST builds very large low-orbit satellites (BlueBirds) that unfold into massive antenna arrays. These satellites operate on standard cellular bands (850 MHz, L‑band, S‑band, etc.) and connect directly to unmodified 4G/5G phones. In contrast to legacy satellite-to-phone services (e.g. Iridium/Lynk text/SOS), AST aims to

Global Satellite Communications Boom: Major Launches, Mergers & Breakthroughs (June–July 2025)

Global Satellite Communications Boom: Major Launches, Mergers & Breakthroughs (June–July 2025)

SpaceX’s Starlink network surpassed 7,000 satellites in orbit by June 2025 after a record double launch on June 28, deploying dozens of new satellites from Florida and California within 13 hours. Starlink generated $11.8 billion in revenue in 2024, overtaking its launch business for the first time. In June 2025 India granted Starlink a license to operate, signaling a major entry into a market projected at $1.9 billion by 2030. In May 2025 South Korea approved Starlink and OneWeb for service, with regulators clearing both to start selling LEO internet plans once final certifications are completed. France invested €1.35 billion

China’s “Night‑Light” Laser vs. Starlink: What a 2‑Watt Beam Really Means for the Coming Orbital Arms Race

China’s “Night‑Light” Laser vs. Starlink: What a 2‑Watt Beam Really Means for the Coming Orbital Arms Race

In June 2025, a Chinese team led by Prof. Wu Jian of Peking University of Posts & Telecommunications and Dr. Liu Chao of the Chinese Academy of Sciences down-linked 1 Gbps from a GEO satellite 36,000 km away using a 2 W infrared laser. The coverage framed the feat as pulverizing Starlink, but there is no evidence of destructive action; the achievement is a bandwidth demonstration. The key innovation is AO‑MDR synergy, combining adaptive optics with mode-diversity reception to correct atmospheric distortion. Adaptive optics reshape the wavefront with hundreds of deformable-mirror actuators, while MDR routes the beam through multiple spatial
