AST SpaceMobile $ASTS (+2,01%) and AT&T $T (-0,61%) have received FCC approval l to test direct-to-cell satellite connectivity using Band 14 spectrum for public safety. This enables trials with first responders later this year, aiming to provide reliable satellite-based connectivity in remote or disaster-affected areas. AST’s BlueBird satellites will use AT&T’s spectrum to deliver public safety-grade voice, data, and video services directly to standard smartphones. This milestone marks a significant step in enhancing emergency communications and bridging the digital divide
