Anterix (NASDAQ:ATEX), Inc. is a specialized telecommunications company focused on delivering private broadband networks for utilities and other critical infrastructure industries. The company owns and operates dedicated 900 MHz spectrum that enables reliable, secure and high-performance wireless communications to support grid modernization, smart metering, distribution automation and other mission-critical applications. By leveraging this spectrum, Anterix helps electric, water and gas utilities deploy advanced communications capabilities to enhance operational efficiency and resiliency.
At the core of Anterix’s offering is its licensed 900 MHz spectrum, which provides superior propagation characteristics compared with unlicensed options and allows for cost-effective coverage over expansive service territories. The company partners with network equipment vendors, systems integrators and engineering firms to deliver turnkey private LTE solutions, including end-to-end network design, deployment and lifecycle support. These solutions enable utilities to monitor network health, isolate faults, and restore service more rapidly during outages or emergency events.
Anterix traces its roots back to the early 1990s, evolving through various regulatory and spectrum acquisition milestones before rebranding as Anterix in 2016. Since that time, the company has secured valuable spectrum assets through FCC auctions and secondary market transactions, positioning itself as the primary 900 MHz band steward for critical infrastructure communications. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Rusty Frantz, Anterix has expanded its strategic alliances and customer base across North America.
Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Anterix serves electric, water and gas utilities throughout the United States and Canada. The company’s vision is to advance the digital utility era by enabling secure, resilient and future-proof communications networks. With a focused leadership team and a growing roster of utility partners, Anterix aims to support the modernization of energy grids and other essential services well into the coming decades.
