TELUS and AST SpaceMobile Partner to Bring Space-Based Cellular Broadband Connectivity to Every Corner of Canada
- On March 3, 2026, TELUS Corporation and AST SpaceMobile signed a commercial agreement to bring space-based cellular broadband service across Canada.
- To address Canada's connectivity gaps, Nazim Benhadid, Chief Technology Officer, TELUS Networks, said the partnership combines AST SpaceMobile's LEO satellite constellation with TELUS's wireless network to connect remote communities.
- TELUS will invest in ground-based satellite infrastructure and take an equity stake in AST SpaceMobile, and TELUS customers can use their existing smartphones for calls, texts, and data later this year.
- The agreement positions TELUS as the third major Canadian carrier to do so as Rogers Satellite is already active and Bell expects to launch in 2026.
- AST SpaceMobile warned the release contains forward-looking statements and referenced its Form 10-K filed March 2, 2026; it reported a US$342,000 net loss but expects revenue growth, while TELUS did not disclose its investment size.
