Anterix (NASDAQ:ATEX), Inc. (NASDAQ: ATEX) is a communications technology company focused on providing private broadband spectrum and network solutions for critical infrastructure industries. The company holds nationwide 900 MHz spectrum licenses previously owned by the Federal Communications Commission, which it repurposed for exclusive use by utilities and other mission-critical users. Anterix’s spectrum assets enable electric, water and gas utilities to build resilient private LTE networks that support grid modernization, distributed energy resources, outage management and other advanced smart grid applications.

The company completed its initial public offering in 2019, using the proceeds to fund investments in its spectrum portfolio and to develop strategic partnerships with equipment manufacturers and system integrators. Over time, Anterix has expanded its national footprint, securing incremental licenses and collaborating with regulators to ensure that private broadband networks can coexist with other users in the band.
Anterix offers a suite of services that support the deployment and management of private LTE networks. These include spectrum leasing agreements, network planning and design, performance monitoring and maintenance support. The company works with leading wireless infrastructure vendors and engineering firms to deliver end-to-end solutions tailored to the operational needs of utilities.
