Anterix Inc., formerly known as pdvWireless, is the largest holder of licensed 900 MHz spectrum in the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The company's principal business model involves leasing or selling access to its spectrum assets to electric utilities, gas companies, and transportation operators. These customers utilize the spectrum to build private, secure LTE wireless communications systems essential for grid operations, field crew coordination, and automated control devices. Following a pivotal 2020 FCC ruling that expanded its spectrum capacity to support broadband, Anterix has focused on building a technology ecosystem with major equipment manufacturers to facilitate critical infrastructure modernization. The company does not build consumer telecom networks, but rather acts as a foundational spectrum provider for enterprise-grade private networks.
