AT&T claims made 5G call in space

AST SpaceMobile Inc and AT&T have claimed that they have completed a 5G call between Hawaii and Spain using a smartphone and the company’s satellite. The companies said that this is a first in the race to serve places where wireless networks don’t reach. The call was reportedly made on September 8 using AT&T spectrum and AST SpaceMobile’s BlueWalker 3 test satellite using an unmodified Galaxy S22 handset in an area considered a “wireless dead zone.”
