$ASTS BO🅰️’s Cliff Notes - @CatSE___ApeX___ was right about everything 👇👇👇👇 dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.11… 👆👆👆👆 This study out of Tsinghua University is one of the first real looks at how Starlink direct to cell actually works on normal phones. And honestly the takeaway is pretty simple. It works… but it is constantly fighting physics. The satellites are hundreds of miles away, so the signal is way weaker than a normal cell tower. That makes the connection harder to hold and way more prone to errors. Right now it looks okay because almost nobody is using it yet, so there is basically no congestion. That is best case scenario. Then you’ve got the satellites flying across the sky at crazy speeds. That creates timing and frequency issues that are really hard to clean up. Even when they try to correct it, the signal is never perfectly lined up, so performance takes a hit. And here is where it gets messy. Even if you are standing still, your phone is switching between satellites or beams every 20 to 30 seconds. That constant handoff creates interruptions, packet loss, and forces the system to resend data over and over. To keep things from breaking completely, Starlink actually had to turn off HARQ, which is a core LTE feature that normally fixes errors in real time. Without it, errors stack up and get pushed higher into the system. That leads to a lot more retransmissions and packet loss. In testing, downlink packet loss was hitting around 25 to 30 percent in test. Even basic things like just connecting take longer, and the system bouncing between satellites can actually make stability worse instead of better. Big picture This is not something you just fix by adding more satellites or more spectrum. The issue is deeper than that. They are trying to force terrestrial cell tech to work in space, and that comes with tradeoffs that show up as instability and inefficiency. It proves you can connect a phone, but scaling that into a reliable network is a completely different problem. That is why this is bullish for AST. AST is not trying to retrofit the system. They designed it from the ground up for space. They are using low band spectrum, which travels farther, goes through buildings, and does not need nearly as much correction. So instead of fighting physics, they are working with it. If these results hold as things scale, the winner is going to be the system that works with physics, not against it. That is exactly where AST stands out. Look at the architecture. Starlink is trying to put the whole cell tower in orbit. AST is keeping the tower on the ground and just using the world’s largest phased array to extend its reach. One is a complex workaround. The other is an elegant extension of the networks we already use. Built on a timeless visual by @NomadBets and added a few updates




















We are excited for this weekend's launch. Big rocket and the biggest satellite! BlueBirds 8 - 32 in production in TX, next batch getting ready to ship. More structures arriving by the big Antonov, the next seven did arrive this week. We are accelerating our buildout space-based cellular broadband together with our 50+ mobile operator partners with nearly 3 billion subscribers. 🌎🚀📶📱 Built in Texas. The future of connectivity. #ASTSpaceMobile #Broadband #ConnectingtheUnconnected #BlueBirds


$ASTS BlueBird 7 is set to launch this week, and here's why it matters: AST SpaceMobile is building satellite coverage that works on YOUR existing phone. No new hardware. BB7 features the largest commercial communications array in low Earth orbit, 2,400 sq ft, up to 120 Mbps direct to unmodified smartphones. This is satellite #2 of a planned 45–60 by end of 2026. Revenue is already up 1,500% YoY to $70.9M. The company is pre-profitability and the valuation is demanding, but the technology milestone here is real. Every successful launch de-risks the story.

@GuywithUmbrella @endless_frank @tomster000 I do not have inside information. But with capital strong backer (Amazon/Bezos) and the proper mature tech (AST) the GSAT MSS spectrum which is some 80% of the value in this deal is likely to get reallocated not given away to someone else and it will generate largest value there.
