satellite-to-smartphone testing takes us one step closer to ensuring
people across the United States will be able to stay connected no
matter their location. This milestone wouldn't be possible without

"Each mobile milestone in Vodafone's history has moved us closer
to connectivity for all. Achieving these mobile speeds, via satellite
direct to standard 4G smartphones, shrinks the digital divide even
further. Together with Vodacom and AST Space Mobile, we look
forward to bringing this capability to our customers in the hardest
to reach areas of Africa and Europe."
-Alberto Ripepi, Chief Network Officer

"This is an important milestone that will see real mobile broadband
