LoginAST SpaceMobile is a leader in developing satellites able to communicate directly with stock cellular phones - promising to eliminate dead zones by building what are essentially orbital cell towers equipped with absolutely massive antennas. Last week SpaceMobile announced that Verizon is hopping on board as a strategic partner as well! What does this mean for the future of cellular connectivity? Are dead zones really going to be a thing of the past? And who will be able to offer it to the general public first? The physically tiny antennas and low-power radios inside cellular phones were designed to communicate with cellular towers located at most miles distant - and it takes some pretty impressive technology to allow for an unmodified stock cellular phone to communicate with a satellite in low-earth-orbit zipping past hundreds of miles overhead. Perhaps the most important key to pulling off this trick is size - a satellite needs to have an absolutely massive antenna to be able to hear and communicate effectively with the tiny antennas in the distant cellular devices below. A satellite also needs to be able to target its broadcast so that it works in conjunction with land-based cellular towers - filling in coverage gaps without causing interference with the existing terrestrial network. For the past year SpaceMobile has been demonstrating it can deliver on this vision with its BlueWalker 3 test satellite that features "the largest and most powerful commercial communications arrays ever deployed in low Earth orbit".

This technology will be easier to deploy than fiber, can run over license-free spectrum and can deliver ultra-fast wireless connectivity to any home or handheld wireless device. We designed Project AirGig literally from the ground up to be both practical and transformational. We expect to kick off our first field trials in Project AirGig delivers this last-mile access without any new fiber-to-the-home and it is flexible enough to be configured with small cells or distributed antenna systems. No need to build new towers. No need to bury new cables in the ground.
Fifth-generation or 5G mobile networking is the fastest, most efficient, highest-throughput, lowest-latency, and flexible wireless standard ever released by the 3GPP consortium. In a separate test, the company broke its previous space-based cellular broadband data session record by achieving a download rate of approximately 14 Mbps. These speeds, beyond supporting basic voice and text, also enable browsing the internet, downloading files, using messaging apps, streaming video, and more on everyday smartphones. Since the launch of BlueWalker 3, we have achieved full compatibility with phones made by all major manufacturers and support for 2G, 4G LTE, and now 5G.
