In order to get the product in the hands of customers, AST SpaceMobile is partnering with the major telecommunications providers such as AT&T and their equivalent carriers in other countries to bring direct connection satellite internet as an add-on service you can pay for through your internet bill. According to management, its partners have 3 billion combined existing customers that it can upsell this internet service to.

But when will the service be ready? Sooner than you think. As of the latest quarterly update, AST SpaceMobile said it will enable satellite internet connectivity in the United States at some point in 2025, leading to between $50 million and $75 million in revenue in the back half of the year. The company generates close to zero revenue today. This revenue will include commercial contracts as well as deals with the United States government.

There are six satellites in orbit today, with plans to get 45 to 60 in orbit through 2026 to enable service in other markets such as Japan, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Eventually, the service will be available in all markets globally.

Huge investments, but a large opportunity

Running some quick estimates, you can see how large the potential market opportunity is for AST SpaceMobile as the only provider of direct internet connectivity for telecommunications providers today.

For example, if it can drive 100 million customers to sign up for AST SpaceMobile's service at $10 a month in revenue sharing for the company, that is $12 billion in annual revenue. It will not show up immediately, but you can see why management is confident it can quickly scale up revenue to a $100 million annual run rate in the United States from a standing start this year. Remember, too, it has an existing partnership with the U.S. government that will bolster sales.

What Is AST SpaceMobile's Investment Narrative?

AST SpaceMobile’s recent deployment of its first five commercial satellites is an early proof point for its ambitious mission: building a space-based mobile broadband network that links directly to standard smartphones. This step reinforces their vision and addresses a major technical challenge. In the short term, it may accelerate confidence around near-term catalysts such as the schedule for mass satellite launches and subsequent commercial launches in the US with partners AT&T and Verizon, now targeted for late 2025. These developments could create new momentum, but risks remain. Ballooning losses, ongoing dilution from frequent equity raises, and high negative cash flow are still material hurdles. The business model depends on quickly scaling revenue long before the current cash reserves run dry, keeping the need for additional funding and flawless satellite deployment near the center of the investment debate. The recent news could shift sentiment on execution but does not erase these fundamental risks. Yet, for all the promise, share dilution and funding needs are risks investors cannot ignore.

From Pentagon to Verizon: Why AST’s Space-Based Cell Network Could Change Everything

Aug 25, 2025

One of the key takeaways from AST SpaceMobile’s (AST) second-quarter earnings report is that the company looks poised to launch its cellular-based broadband networks rather quickly and inexpensively. These attributes, along with the strength of the firm’s technology, should enable it to become very successful over the longer term.

Also noteworthy are the company’s huge overall potential and the continuing, remarkable progress of its government business which can become quite gigantic.

However, AST does face significant risk. Therefore, only risk-tolerant investors who are looking for a high-tech growth play should consider buying its shares at this point.

A Relatively Fast, Cheap Path to Service Launches

AST reported that it intends to launch “45 to 60 satellites into orbit by 2026.” CEO Abel Avellan stated on its Q2 earnings held on August 11.

Using these satellites, AST intends to provide intermittent service in the U.S. by the end of this year, while it is targeting such capabilities in the UK, Canada and Japan in Q1 of 2026. Also importantly, the CEO stated that AST, which already has six satellites in orbit, only requires “approximately 90 satellites for continuous global coverage” and plans  to send a new satellite into orbit every one or two months between now and the end of 2026.

Given this launch cadence and the number of satellites that AST needs, it should be able to offer service in many countries by the end of 2027.

Meanwhile, Avellan  reported that “other systems (require) tens of thousands of satellites” in order to provide global coverage.  In addition to enabling AST to kick off its service in many countries in relatively short order, the superior efficiency of its technology will allow it to begin providing a great deal of coverage relatively cheaply. And since other companies will need to launch an enormous number of satellites to offer a similar service, AST shouldn’t face too much competition for many years.

The market ignoring the strong patents of ASTS

 

Highlights

AST SpaceMobile (ticker: ASTS) will turn every smartphone into a satellite phone with broadband internet access anywhere in the world

It will achieve this by deploying and operating satellite “cell towers” in orbit that will cover the whole planet with LTE/4G/5G signal

3.2 billion people are currently offline with no internet access [1,2]. The pro-social and economic impact of bringing these people online can’t be overstated

1 trillion USD addressable market undergoing rapid growth in the sectors targeted by SpaceMobile: There will be more than 400 million new mobile phone users by 2025. Four in five connections globally will be smartphones by 2025; smartphone connections in Sub-Saharan Africa will nearly double. Global mobile data usage will grow almost fourfold by 2025. [1]

AST has a head start over competition. Other satellite internet providers usually require expensive satellite phones and offer very limited data - e.g. Iridium - or they require satellite dishes – e.g. SpaceX's Starlink broadband internet. The most viable competing service was announced only recently on August 25, 2022 - a partnership between T-Mobile and Starlink [3], which validates what AST is doing (more on this in the Competition chapter). The second closest competitor is a private company called Lynk, which is commercially behind SpaceMobile. Lynk's service will initially focus on low data rate services - text messaging only [4]).

Patented (2,400+ patents & patent claims [5,6,7,8] and to an extent tested [9] technology (space to Earth communication)

Funded for a commercial launch

Partnered with Vodafone [10] for immediate access to 271 million unconnected people, as well as additional agreements with major mobile network operators who together have 1.8 billion mobile customers [11]

50/50 revenue sharing business model with mobile network operators leads to extremely attractive 90%+ profit margins, as AST will be selling its services wholesale only and most of the administrative, sales, advertising and related expenses will be on the side of operators

Commercial viability validated by enterprise partners and investors, including Vodafone, Rakuten, American Tower [12], AT&T [13], Telefonica, Nokia [14], TSMC [15] and more

Explosive stock price growth potential (>$500 share price 2030 target in case the company succeeds in its mission, a 50x return from $10 price)

Satellite internet services like Starlink are great, but they come with one big drawback: clunky terminals. The standard dish is not ginormous, but is not something you could take out on a hike. AST SpaceMobile plans to get rid of the terminals altogether with its constellation of ultra-large satellites that can beam high speed internet directly to smartphones.

I am sure, nobody want to work together with Elon Musk.

But all with fair 50:50-partner CEO of AST Space Mobile.  

On Tuesday, reports said that Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, who owns América Móvil, is infusing more cash into AST SpaceMobile, Inc.

Slim already owns a significant stake in the company, while his daughter sits on the board of directors.
AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS) has yet to confirm or deny the reports.

If proven, Slim’s billion-dollar investment would largely support the company’s expansion plans, including its planned launches into orbit of 45 to 60 satellites by next year.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/...e-asts-extends-rally-131147024.html

 

About 45-60 satellites in orbit by the end of 2026

AST SpaceMobile is on track to deploy about 45-60 satellites in orbit by the end of 2026. The company has completed the assembly of microns for phased arrays of eight Block 2 BlueBird satellites. This will be the largest deployment in LEO for commercial use. Management believes that the larger aperture array will enable greater spectrum reuse, enhanced signal strength and increased capacity, reducing the number of satellites required to achieve service coverage compared to smaller aperture designs. This is likely to provide nationwide intermittent service in the United States by the end of 2025, followed by the United Kingdom, Japan and Canada in the first quarter of 2026.

It has already deployed its first five commercial satellites (dubbed BlueBird) in LEO, marking a key advancement in developing a space-based mobile network infrastructure. These satellites have the largest-ever commercial communications arrays spanning 693 square feet. They offer non-continuous service across the United States using more than 5,600 cells within the premium low-band spectrum.
