AST SpaceMobile received approval from Brazil’s national telecommunications agency, Anatel, to use S-band spectrum and the 700 MHz band on a secondary basis. The approval is a key step toward delivering the company’s satellite-to-cellular broadband service in Brazil.
The company also secured agreements with four regional mobile network operators in Brazil and announced plans to build ground infrastructure to support its network there.
These developments advance AST SpaceMobile’s efforts to expand its space-based cellular broadband network across South America and globally.
