"We've been working years on a direct to cellular solution that we're focusing on a FirstNet first approach. We're integrated into the FirstNet core w/ priority and preemption that has mission critical capabilities. So we have announced and recently done some test calls here within last week over AST [SpaceMobile] which is the direct to cellular solution. Significant difference in the solutions that are out there: more spectrum, larger satellites that provide much broader coverage and much broader capabilities." "Now you have direct to cellular coming to public safety but it's fully integrated and it'll provide that end-to-end priority."
