Network Integration testing activities, subject to regulatory approvals, are underway and advancing across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Romania, France, the Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, and Ukraine in collaboration with Vodafone, Orange, Telefónica, Deutsche Telekom, and Vodafone Ukraine, leveraging the European-wide gateway infrastructure being rolled out by Satellite Connect Europe. The bespoke programs are designed to accelerate the seamless integration of AST SpaceMobile's space-based cellular broadband service with existing terrestrial mobile networks using standard, unmodified smartphones.

The European campaign builds on AST SpaceMobile's growing commercial momentum worldwide as the company advances deployment of its BlueBird satellite constellation and works with nearly 60 mobile network operators globally, representing over 3 billion existing subscribers.

The integration testing activities represent another significant step toward commercial deployment as AST SpaceMobile expand its footprint across Europe, enabled by the carrier-neutral gateway infrastructure of Satellite Connect Europe, the Luxemburg-headquartered joint venture between AST SpaceMobile and Vodafone, established to provide European-operated ground infrastructure and open access direct-to-device connectivity for mobile network operators across Europe. Together the companies are accelerating the deployment of space-based cellular broadband to extend coverage beyond the reach of terrestrial mobile infrastructure to eliminate coverage gaps while enhancing network resilience public safety communications, emergency response capabilities, and connectivity for consumers, enterprises, and government users.
