AST SpaceMobile updates constellation filings with ITU, FCC

AST SpaceMobile announced that it has updated its constellation filing with the International Telecommunication Union and related filings for its V-Band application with the Federal Communications Commission. The company said, “The decision to update the licensing administration of the AST SpaceMobile constellation filing comes as the Federal Communications Commission in the United States has continued its Supplemental Coverage from Space rulemaking process, demonstrating continued leadership in direct-to-device regulation globally. The final draft rules, unveiled last month, represent a step forward for the company’s planned service offering as its work towards offering commercial service in the United States.
