This meeting, Nick gave a presentation on the Satellite Broadband Company, AST SpaceMobile ($ASTS).
Nick talked about different competitors like Globalstar ($GSAT) and SpaceX’s Starlink. How their services are similar and different from AST and why he believes AST has an edge on its competitors despite Starlink’s first mover advantage.
The club discussed current agreements AST has with major network carriers, ongoing catalysts and how the technology works to connect with everyday phones like the one in your pocket without additional hardware or software.
The club also discussed different applications like defense, communication for first responders, and what precautions have been taken for events like solar flares.
