LEO NTN Small Constellation of Very Large Satellites
AST SpaceMobile’s operational strategy relies on a small constellation of very large satellites designed to deliver broadband, voice, and messaging services directly to unmodified devices. This approach differs significantly from competitors like Lynk, which utilise larger constellations of small satellites primarily targeted at messaging. The use of large satellites provides a specific technical advantage: they allow standard smartphones to browse the internet and receive high-speed data without requiring massive external antennas.
