A new satellite connectivity capability is taking shape in New Zealand.
@2degreesmobile has officially opened the Marton Satellite Ground Station.
The gateway links AST SpaceMobile’s global satellite system with 2degrees’ core infrastructure, advancing integration to deliver voice, broadband data and text directly to everyday smartphones, without specialized devices.
With nearly 50 gateways in various stages of completion, installation, and planning, we continue to build out our global gateway footprint, bringing us another step closer to commercial service for people to stay seamlessly connected wherever they live, work and travel.

@XManSam67@JeffBezos@elonmusk@SpaceX Lol. He's right. He'll never be a fascist pedo drug addict who's responsible for at least 700,000 deaths via doge.
@business Opps looks like @SpaceX plan with @TMobile imploded. Now they'll have to spend a lot of capital to build out a network and acquire users. The MNOs will have a better satellite service starting this year via @AST_SpaceMobile. Get the popcorn.
BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10 are now fully deployed to their full size, each the world's largest communications arrays operating in Low Earth Orbit.
We invented a new way to design, manufacture at scale, deploy, and fly lightweight composite stackable architecture combined, with the world's largest and most advanced direct- to-device and radar phased-array with the ability to launch them in groups of 3, 5, 6, or 8 on a single launch.
Our BlueBird platform brings together high-performance space-based cellular broadband with peak data rates approaching 200 Mbps, space AI edge computing, and many mission-critical government applications, all on one platform where the largest-ever size matters!
BlueBirds 11, 12 and 13 are already at the Cape preparing for their imminent launch. BlueBirds 14, 15 and 16 are right behind them. Production has already moved through satellite 42.
All of this is happening in Texas. 🤠🇺🇸📶🌎📱
$ASTS BUSINESS UPDATE CALL THREAD.
TL/DR Bullish call with a few nice positive surprises, among them ULA as launch partner, and no real noteworthy bad news.
