Telus is launching satellite-powered cellular service in Canada with AST SpaceMobile, enabling standard phones to connect directly to satellites for improved rural coverage starting later in 2026.
Telus has partnered with U.S. company AST SpaceMobile to launch satellite-powered cellular services in Canada, aiming to improve connectivity in remote and underserved areas.
The company will invest in ground-based infrastructure and acquire an equity stake in AST SpaceMobile, with the service expected to launch later in 2026.
The technology will allow standard smartphones to connect directly to satellites, enabling calls, texts, and data without special equipment.
The initiative supports Telus’s broader efforts to expand nationwide coverage, including 5G+ and LTE upgrades.
This move coincides with leadership changes, as CEO Darren Entwistle will retire at the end of June, succeeded by Victor Dodig, former CIBC CEO.
