Today, President @scottwisniews went live on Bloomberg Businessweek to discuss our purpose-built approach to deliver full broadband directly to standard smartphones.
"We depend on connectivity so much, and it's very important that the phone just works, whether it's for convenience, peace of mind, or emergencies. There's only one way to get broadband capabilities from space and that's with a big satellite. And we have the biggest."
With the largest commercial satellites in low Earth orbit, over 50 mobile operator partnerships worldwide, and a comprehensive spectrum strategy that combines our own spectrum and partner spectrum, we are rapidly building a future where everyone, everywhere, has access to strong, reliable broadband connectivity from space.

We are officially kicking off our next-gen launch campaign:
β’ BlueBird 7 is expected to ship to the Cape Canaveral launch site in October
β’ BlueBirds 8-16 are in various stages of production, with launches planned every 1-2 months on average during 2025 and 2026
β’ On track to complete 40 phased arrays by early 2026, bringing us to BlueBird 46
