AST SpaceMobile announced today, October 10 2025, that it has signed a definitive commercial agreement with Verizon Communications to provide space‑based direct‑to‑device connectivity to Verizon customers across the continental United States. The agreement will be effective in 2026 and will allow Verizon customers to stay connected in remote or underserved areas without specialized equipment.
The deal extends Verizon’s 850 MHz premium low‑band spectrum into areas that would benefit from the ubiquitous reach of space‑based broadband technology. It follows successful testing milestones that demonstrated voice, video, and messaging on standard smartphones, confirming the company’s ability to deliver full cellular services directly to unmodified devices.
This agreement is a major customer win for AST, providing a large MNO partner and a potential revenue stream beginning in 2026. The deal positions AST to capture a share of the U.S. market and validates its technology, potentially accelerating its path to commercial service and revenue generation.
