Profile

AST SpaceMobile, Inc.ASTSCommunication Services

Builds a low-Earth-orbit cellular broadband network that connects standard phones through BlueBird satellites and mobile-operator spectrum. Commercial and government applications share one platform, while deployment depends on satellite production, launches, regulatory approvals, partner integration, and capital.

Builds the SpaceMobile Service, a low-Earth-orbit cellular broadband network designed to connect standard, unmodified phones through large BlueBird satellite antennas. The same platform also supports government applications, while gateway and network-integration work connects satellites with terrestrial mobile networks.

Designs and assembles satellites and key components across facilities in the United States and other countries. A growing constellation has advanced beyond a single test spacecraft, but the service remains in deployment and early-service execution rather than full global coverage.

Relies on mobile-network-operator partners for licensed spectrum, core-network integration, distribution, and subscriber relationships. Coverage also depends on satellite production, launch and in-orbit performance, ground infrastructure, market-specific approvals, and continued access to capital.

Float — provider float is below the insider stake.

A Form 4 total here can count shares the filer formally disclaims — an award voted by proxy, for instance — which the holder's own Schedule 13D/G excludes, so where the two disagree the schedule's smaller figure is used.

The provider's float is smaller than the insider stake it should exclude, so it is not shown.
