RAKUTEN AND VODAFONE INVEST IN AST & SCIENCE’S SPACE VENTURE TO REACH MORE PEOPLE, DEVICES AND PLACES WITH MOBILE COVERAGE

 

·                  AST & Science’s space-based network will be the first to connect directly to 4G — and in the future 5G — smartphones without any need for specialised satellite hardware.

 

·                  Other investors include: American Tower; Cisneros; Samsung NEXT; and founder Abel Avellan.

 

·                  The new investment brings the total capital raised by AST & Science to US$128 million.

 

TOKYO, LONDON, TEXAS— March 3, 2020 — Rakuten and Vodafone have become the lead investors in a venture to extend mobile coverage to more people and devices across the planet, using the first mobile broadband network that will be broadcast from space.

 

Branded SpaceMobile, the low-Earth-orbit (LEO), low-latency satellite network from AST & Science will be the first in the world to connect directly to standard smartphones. The company holds an extensive patent and IP portfolio for its ground and space technologies.

 

“SpaceMobile will be particularly transformative to the growing US$1 trillion annual global mobile market because it will eliminate the coverage gaps faced by today’s five billion mobile subscribers moving in and out of connectivity every day. It will also help the world’s most under-served communities to access the latest mobile services much sooner than predicted, helping more people to access the digital economy,” said Abel Avellan, AST & Science chairman and CEO.

 

AST & Science will initially offer 4G services to partner networks globally, with 5G delivered in the future. The SpaceMobile network will enable seamless roaming to and from terrestrial cellular networks at comparable data rates without any need for specialised satellite hardware.

 

In addition to its investment in AST & Science, Vodafone has agreed to a strategic partnership and will contribute technical, operational and regulatory expertise in support of the global deployment of SpaceMobile.

 

Nick Read, CEO, Vodafone Group, said: “At Vodafone we want to ensure everyone benefits from a digital society — that no-one is left behind. We believe SpaceMobile is uniquely placed to provide universal mobile

 

coverage, further enhancing our leading network across Europe and Africa - especially in rural areas and during a natural or humanitarian disaster - for customers on their existing smartphones.”

 

“AST & Science’s SpaceMobile venture is a perfect fit for us,” said Mickey Mikitani, chairman and CEO of Rakuten. “Our investment is part of our broader strategy to become a leading mobile network operator in Japan and a global solution provider to markets around the world. Rakuten’s strategic investment with AST & Science has the potential to support our efforts to connect users across Japan through mobile innovation, expanding national coverage from metropolitan to remote areas and bolstering the network in times of natural disaster.”

 

AST & Science successfully tested its SpaceMobile technology aboard the BlueWalker 1 satellite, launched in April 2019, and has been further validating the technology following that initial flight.

 

The new investment brings the total capital raised by AST & Science to US$128 million, including the early investments from Cisneros and founder Abel Avellan. Barclays served as financial advisor to the company.

VODAFONE EXTENDS PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT IN UKRAINE

 

Following the change of ownership of Vodafone Ukraine, Vodafone Group has extended its partnership agreement with the company.

 

Vodafone Ukraine will continue to use the Vodafone brand, and the company will also enjoy direct access to Vodafone’s central procurement and roaming services. The new agreement looks to deliver further synergies, with the two companies collaborating on a range of consumer and business products. This includes ongoing support for Vodafone Ukraine’s recently launched IoT managed connectivity service, which leverages Vodafone Group’s world-leading IoT platform. Vodafone will also provide strategic and operational network and IT support, and there is scope for further future collaboration on the digital reform of public services and smart city solutions in Ukraine.

 

The partnership to date has seen Vodafone Ukraine incorporate a number of Vodafone’s global assets into local services, like the My Vodafone App, and self-care solutions. It has also seen the rollout of products and services used by Vodafone customers around the world, such as unlimited data tariffs, Roam Like Home and Vodafone Red tariffs.

 

Vodafone Partner Markets Chief Executive Diego Massidda said: “We have enjoyed a close relationship with Vodafone Ukraine for the last five years, and we are delighted that this will continue under their new owners. We look forward to continuing to bring the best of Vodafone’s international services and expertise, providing strategic advice and sharing global best practice for the benefit of their customers.”

VODAFONE LAUNCHES INDUSTRY-WIDE INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE DIVERSITY AND

REPRESENTATION WITHIN THE TECH SECTOR

 

·      Industry leaders Ericsson and Nokia among first to join Vodafone in pledge to ‘change the face’ of technology

 

·      International research shows that a majority of respondents describe technology as young, white, middle-class and male*

 

·      Vodafone announces global strategy to increase women’s access to careers in the technology industry through its Future Jobs Finder tool

 

·      Working with WEConnect International, Vodafone will boost diversity and inclusion in its supply chain

 

6th March 2020 - Ahead of International Women’s Day, Vodafone has today announced #ChangeTheFace, a new industry-wide initiative calling on technology leaders to join and make a pledge to increase diversity and equality in the sector.

 

An international survey among 8,000 people highlights the need for change across the industry*:

 

·      When asked to describe technology as a person, the majority of respondents answered that the person would be young, white, middle-class and mostly male

 

·      Only 13% of women in UK, 18% of women in Ireland, and 20% of women in Germany think jobs in tech are for people like them

 

·      One third of people (33%) feel alienated by modern technology advertising, with women less likely than men to think that tech ads are aimed at them

 

·      Additional research shows that in Europe, women represent only 21.5% of all workers in digital jobs**

 

The #ChangeTheFace initiative aims to build a community of individuals and organisations who can be a force for positive change within the industry. Ericsson and Nokia are the first to join Vodafone in making their pledges.

 

“#ChangeTheFace is Vodafone’s commitment to improving our diversity and inclusion at Vodafone,” said Nick Read, CEO of Vodafone Group Plc. “We are urging the technology industry to act now so we build a digital future that reflects society and works for everyone.”

 

By signing up at www.change-the-face.com, individuals can make their own pledge to address inequalities and eradicate bias and discrimination in the sector. Today’s launch will kick-start an ongoing programme of activity, including an inaugural, industry-wide #ChangeTheFace awards in 2021, to recognise champions of inclusion.

 

#ChangeTheFace builds on Vodafone’s work to increase equality and inclusion for customers, colleagues, communities and co-partners over the last decade. Further commitments launched today include a revised version of the Future Jobs Finder tool and several initiatives designed to boost diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.

 

The updated Future Jobs Finder aims to address the declining numbers of women entering technology roles and encourage broader audiences to explore careers in the sector***. Features include:

 

·      A series of quick psychometric tests, which match an individual’s aptitudes and interests to specific job opportunities and relevant skills training for the digital economy

 

·      Case studies of women succeeding in technology roles, who have not followed traditional scientific routes

 

·      Links between the skills acquired in non-technical background areas, such as Art subjects, to a range of tech careers

 

A marketing campaign to promote the Future Jobs Finder aims to reach 100 million women over the next couple of weeks in 20 countries. The bold, confident and colourful portraits featuring the real ‘faces of tech’ have been shot by London based photographer Imogen Forte. The campaign reinforces Vodafone’s commitment to representing diversity through its brand. Vodafone joined the UN Women’s Unstereotype Alliance in 2019, and has become the first European partner of #SeeHer.

 

In addition, Vodafone aims to increase diversity and inclusion within its supply chain to represent the society we operate in by:

 

·      Joining WEConnect International’s global network to connect with more women-owned businesses worldwide

 

·      Exploring the use of blockchain as part of a new process to promote and verify diverse suppliers through Trust Your Supplier

 

·      Implementing diversity criteria to influence procurement decisions alongside other standard criteria, such as safety, value, delivery and technology when we invite suppliers to tender for business

 

Vodafone is committed to expanding its work with #ChangeTheFace to ensure that the technology industry represents society, and to create an inclusive digital future that works for everyone.

 

*Opinium survey commissioned by Vodafone on global perceptions of technology and representation among 8,504 people in 10 countries: UK, Ireland, South Africa, India, Spain, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Greece and Turkey. Respondents who said mostly “male” were those surveyed in UK, Ireland, India, Germany, and Hungary

 

**”Women in the Digital Age” study by the European Commission (2018)

 

***The share of women in the digital sector is decreasing: women make up 13% of the graduates in ICT-related fields working in digital jobs compared to 15% in 2011 - “Women in the Digital Age” study by the European Commission (2018)

About inclusion and gender equality at Vodafone

 

Vodafone believes that the opportunities of a better digital future should be accessible to all, and is committed to ensuring that no one is left behind.  Through our technology, we are working to bridge the divides that exist and help people to contribute equally and fully to society.

 

·      We are committed to becoming the world’s best employer for women by 2025, helping thousands of women to progress their careers.

 

·      We aim to connect an additional 50 million women in emerging markets to mobile by 2025. Through specially designed products and services, we have already reached an additional 19.4 million women in our emerging markets, helping to improve health and wellbeing, create financial inclusion and increase safety and security.

 

·      In October 2019, Vodafone announced that all Vodafone employees worldwide will be offered 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave, giving every parent the opportunity to have more time with children new to their family. Any employee whose partner is having a baby, adopts a child or becomes a parent through surrogacy will have the flexibility to take up to 16 weeks paid leave at any time during the first 18 months. Vodafone employees will also be able to phase their return from parental leave by working the equivalent of a 30-hour week at full pay for a further six months.

 

·      In March 2015, Vodafone pioneered a global maternity policy, offering women across Vodafone’s markets and operations a minimum of 16 weeks fully paid maternity leave and a 30-hour week at full pay for the first six months after their return to work.

 

·      In 2017, Vodafone launched ReConnect, a programme to employ 1,000 talented women who have left the workplace for several years — often to raise a family — who want to return to work.

 

·      In 2019 Vodafone introduced a global domestic violence and abuse policy to provide support and 10 days paid ‘safe’ leave to employees experiencing domestic abuse in all markets.

 

·      In 2018 Vodafone Foundation launched Bright Sky in the UK, offering information, advice and links to support services to people affected, and in 2019 announced that it will roll out the app in nine further markets and other ‘apps against abuse’ across Vodafone’s footprint. Close to a million people have benefitted from the services, including: the Bright Sky app, which has been downloaded nearly 25,000 times; TecSOS technology, which has helped more 100,000 high-risk survivors of domestic violence in five countries; Easy Rescue, which has supported over 300,000 women in Turkey; and gender based violence hotlines in South Africa and Kenya, which have connected over 500,000 victims to help during crisis.

 

·      Vodafone is a partner of UN Women’s HeForShe IMPACT 10x10x10 initiative. As a HeForShe Champion, one of our three IMPACT Commitments is to expand access to mobile as a tool for women’s empowerment.

 

About the Future Jobs Finder

 

Vodafone has worked with specialist psychologists, careers advisers and training providers to develop a smartphone-based service - called the Future Jobs Finder - that offers people a gateway to new skills and opportunities for employment in the digital economy.

 

The first step in the Future Jobs Finder is a series of quick psychometric tests designed to identify each individual’s aptitudes, and interests and then map these to the most appropriate job category in the digital economy. In the second step, the individual is directed to specific job opportunities in their chosen location, including opportunities with Vodafone. Users can also access relevant online digital skills training providers, with many of these courses available for free. On completing the tests, users also receive a summary of their skills and interests that can be used on their C.V. or in a job application.

 

In 2018 Vodafone committed to supporting 10 million young people to access digital skills, learning and employment opportunities by 2022.

 

Women in technology at Vodafone

 

Vodafone has placed specific focus on increasing the proportion of women in technology roles, particularly within senior roles. Initiatives such as ensuring that female candidates are included in interview shortlists and setting internal targets have helped increase the proportion of females working in technology. Vodafone also uses a debiasing toolkit for job descriptions which aims to guide recruiters and hiring managers when writing job descriptions to remove unconscious bias from the language.

 

Through our Women in Technology network, we are working to better support women in technology roles. This now has more than 1,300 members and holds quarterly webinars and local face-to-face meetings. Programmes such as #Codelikeagirl, and our work with schools and universities to promote women in technology, underpin our wider strategy to have a positive impact on women taking up technology careers.

 

About WEConnect International

 

WEConnect International is a global network that connects women-owned businesses to qualified corporate buyers so they can grow their businesses. Their mission is simple: a world in which women have the same opportunity as men to design and implement business solutions that create wealth and ensure the sustainable prosperity of their communities.
