: Vi and AST SpaceMobile Announce Partnership
Vi and AST SpaceMobile Announce Partnership for Satellite Connectivity
MUMBAI, India & MIDLAND, Texas, June 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vi (Vodafone Idea), India?s leading telecom service provider, and AST SpaceMobile, Inc. ("AST SpaceMobile") (NASDAQ: ASTS), the company building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly by everyday smartphones, designed for both commercial and government applications, today announced a strategic partnership to expand mobile connectivity across India?s unconnected regions. AST SpaceMobile made history by placing the first ever voice and video calls from space using standard mobile phone, a milestone that demonstrates the real-world viability of its advanced technology. India is one of the world?s largest and most dynamic telecom markets, with over 1.1 billion mobile subscribers. While there is widespread 4G and emerging 5G coverage, satellite communication will complement terrestrial connectivity to further expand broadband cellular access in some challenging terrains where deployment of terrestrial mobile infrastructure might be difficult.

: Ausweitung der Mobilfunkabdeckung in Indien
AST SpaceMobile und Vodafone Idea schließen strategische Partnerschaft zur Ausweitung der Mobilfunkabdeckung in Indien
18.06.2025
AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) bleibt im Hausse-Modus. Das Unternehmen hat am Mittwoch (18. Juni) zusammen mit Vodafone Idea (Vi), ein Joint Venture der Aditya Birla Group und der Vodafone Group, eine strategische Partnerschaft angekündigt, um die Mobilfunkversorgung in bislang unversorgten Regionen Indiens auszubauen. Indien ist mit über 1,1?Milliarden Mobilfunknutzern einer der größten Telekommunikationsmärkte der Welt.
AST SpaceMobile claimed a first in demonstrating Non-Terrestrial-Network (NTN) tactical satellite communications capabilities across key-defence related use cases, in collaboration with privately-held Fairwinds Technologies.
AST SpaceMobile stated field test use cases included real-time connectivity to a Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) over a VPN, multimedia streaming via TAK and secure multi-party video calls, all completed on standard, unmodified smartphones.
Fairwinds, which specialises in designing and integrating communications services to serve defence agencies, is a long-term partner to AST SpaceMobile providing military tactical support, as the space company continues to explore direct-to-device (D2D) satellite communications for the US government and across defence applications.
The demonstration was completed near AST SpaceMobile?s gateway facility in Oahu, Hawaii, with participation from the US Indo-Pacific Command, including representation from the US Navy, Marine Corps and US Space Command.
AST SpaceMobile, which claims to be building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network accessible by smartphones, explained the deal with Fairwinds is supported by the US? Defense Innovation Unit?s Cyber and Telecom portfolio, which aims to evaluate the viability of space-based D2D communications for resilient, tactical networks in denied or austere environments.

Wenn man einen Tenbagger ankündigt, glaubt man eigentlich selbst nicht so ganz dran - aber inzwischen bin ich so weit, dass ich sage: Nichts ist unmöglich!
AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) stock rocketed higher in the first half of this year's trading thanks to some strong business results and signs that the space industry will continue heating up. The company's share price surged 121.5% across the stretch, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index's level rose 5.5% over the period.
Milliarden über den Wolken: SpaceX, Starlink & Co. greifen nach dem Markt
Die Raumfahrtbranche befindet sich im Umbruch ? weg vom staatlich dominierten Prestigeprojekt, hin zu einem dynamischen Wachstumsmarkt mit realen Cashflows und privatwirtschaftlicher Führungsrolle.
Bei monatlichen Abo-Preisen von 80 bis 120 US-Dollar zählt Starlink inzwischen über 5 Millionen Kunden. Die Tendenz ist steigend. Das mittelfristige Ziel liegt bei bis zu 50 Millionen Nutzern, was einem potenziellen Umsatzvolumen von bis zu 70 Milliarden US-Dollar entspricht. Die Bewertung von SpaceX lag Ende 2024 bei rund 350 Milliarden US-Dollar. Das sei das 5-Fache vom dem, was der norwegische Ölriese Equinor wert ist.
Noch radikaler ist der Ansatz von AST SpaceMobile. Das US-Unternehmen entwickelt Satelliten, die direkt mit Smartphones kommunizieren können ? ganz ohne Funkmasten. Damit entsteht ein globales 5G-Netzwerk aus dem All. Unterstützt wird das Projekt von Branchenriesen wie Apple, T-Mobile, Samsung und Vodafone. Sollte die Technologie funktionieren, könnte sie die Telekommunikationsbranche grundlegend verändern.
Klingt spannend... und wer weiß, vielleicht steckt da wirklich ein Tenbagger drin... Die Story hat auf jeden Fall Potenzial, besonders mit dem aktuellen Rückenwind im Sektor... Bin gespannt, wie sich das weiterentwickelt.....
Wow\...das liest sich richtig spannend... AST SpaceMobile scheint endlich richtig durchzustarten... die neue Finanzierung und die Langzeit-Spektrumrechte sind ein starkes Zeichen... ich glaub da könnte in nächster Zeit noch einiges passieren...
