AST SpaceMobile, a publicly owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 2017 and employs approximately 290 individuals. The company specializes in enterprise connectivity services, functioning as a satellite designer and manufacturer. It designs and manufactures satellites, and its BlueWalker 3 satellite is noted as the largest commercial communications array in low Earth orbit.
AST SpaceMobile Inc. partnered with AXIAN Telecom, parent company of pan-African telecom group Yas, on March 7, 2026, to develop a cellular broadband network in space compatible with regular mobile devices. This collaboration is set to provide mobile internet and voice services directly to smartphones in remote and hard-to-reach areas, with Uganda specifically identified to benefit. Earlier the same day, AST SpaceMobile garnered attention for an eventful period that included generating revenue, securing new contracts such as the US$30 million SDA Europa Track 2 award, and its inclusion in the Bloomberg 500. This followed Canadian telecommunications company Telus announcing a strategic investment in AST SpaceMobile on March 6, 2026. Telus agreed to use AST SpaceMobile's satellites for space-based cellular broadband across Canada and took an equity stake to enhance direct-to-device connectivity.
