U.S.-based satellite communications provider EchoStar has agreed to sell spectrum licences worth approximately $17 billion to SpaceX.
The deal covers all of EchoStar’s AWS-4 and H-block spectrum licences.
Under the agreement, up to $8.5 billion will be paid in cash, with a further $8.5 billion in SpaceX stock. The deal also includes provisions for SpaceX to fund around $2 billion in interest payments on EchoStar debt through November 2027.
The transaction will establish a long-term commercial partnership, enabling EchoStar’s Boost Mobile subscribers to access SpaceX’s “next-generation” Starlink Direct to Cell service via its cloud-native 5G core.
EchoStar CEO Hamid Akhavan said the agreement “continues our legacy of putting the customer first, combining EchoStar’s spectrum with SpaceX’s rocket and satellite capabilities to deliver direct-to-cell services in a more innovative, economical and faster way globally.”
