These correspond to three cellular spectrum ranges:
700 MHz: 10 MHz paired spectrum, nationwide.
900 MHz: 5 MHz paired blocks, region-dependent.
2.5/2.6 GHz: Two adjacent 10 MHz paired blocks nationwide, plus additional regional spectrum.
$ASTS identified 20 MHz of nationwide uplink spectrum paired with 20 MHz of nationwide downlink spectrum in the 2.5/2.6 GHz range, in addition to the nationwide 700 MHz allocation.
Attachment B also includes Brazil's regulatory authorization, effective October 26, 2026, through April 22, 2029.

The Run Back to $100 🏃♀️🚀
$ASTS closed around $39, so I’m starting a challenge.
During COVID, running changed my life. I’ve gotten away from it, and today I started Couch to 5K to get it back.
Couch to 5K is a 9-week program, which means if I stick with it, I should be running a 5K Christmas weekend.
The goal: I’m going to keep running until I can run a 5K…and $ASTS makes its way back to $100. 😂
Any SpaceMob who want to join, start Couch to 5K or running program anytime this week and let’s do it together. Today is beginning of week 1.
Maybe when we hit our goals, some Soacemob can meet up and run an actual 5K or do a virtual Spacemob 5k.
$39 → $100. Couch → 5K.
Let’s run it back. 🚀🏃♀️
$ASTS Rakuten Symphony said at MWC 2026 that its new satellite OSS arose from the AST relationship and is now being marketed to other MNOs and satellite operators.
OSS is the machinery you need to operate thousands of satellite cells as a carrier-grade cellular network.

$ASTS — Brazil is moving forward on D2D. 🇧🇷🛰️
ANATEL extended Brazil’s Direct-to-Device regulatory sandbox through April 2029 and, importantly, expanded it to allow D2D activity with a commercial character, not just testing.
AST SpaceMobile already has a regulatory footprint in Brazil through AST & Science do Brasil Ltda., including direct participation in ANATEL proceedings.
Brazil is quietly becoming a very interesting D2D market for $ASTS.
