Hoffnung auf einen "Tenbagger"
AST SpaceMobile claimed a first in demonstrating Non-Terrestrial-Network (NTN) tactical satellite communications capabilities across key-defence related use cases, in collaboration with privately-held Fairwinds Technologies.
AST SpaceMobile stated field test use cases included real-time connectivity to a Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) over a VPN, multimedia streaming via TAK and secure multi-party video calls, all completed on standard, unmodified smartphones.
Fairwinds, which specialises in designing and integrating communications services to serve defence agencies, is a long-term partner to AST SpaceMobile providing military tactical support, as the space company continues to explore direct-to-device (D2D) satellite communications for the US government and across defence applications.
The demonstration was completed near AST SpaceMobile’s gateway facility in Oahu, Hawaii, with participation from the US Indo-Pacific Command, including representation from the US Navy, Marine Corps and US Space Command.
AST SpaceMobile, which claims to be building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network accessible by smartphones, explained the deal with Fairwinds is supported by the US’ Defense Innovation Unit’s Cyber and Telecom portfolio, which aims to evaluate the viability of space-based D2D communications for resilient, tactical networks in denied or austere environments.
