Anterix Inc. (the “Company”) is the utility industry’s partner, empowering enhanced visibility, control and security for a modern grid. The Company’s vision is to deliver secure, scalable solutions enabled by private wireless broadband connectivity, for the benefit of utilities and the communities that they serve. As the largest holder of licensed spectrum in the 900 MHz band (896-901/935-940 MHz) throughout the contiguous United States, plus Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico, the Company is uniquely positioned to deliver solutions that support secure, resilient and customer-controlled operations. The Company is focused on commercializing its spectrum assets and expanding the benefits and solutions it offers to enable the Company’s targeted utility and critical infrastructure customers to deploy private broadband networks.
The Company was originally incorporated in California in 1997 and reincorporated in Delaware in 2014. In November 2015, the Company changed its name from Pacific DataVision, Inc. to pdvWireless, Inc. In August 2019, the Company changed its name from pdvWireless, Inc. to Anterix Inc. The Company maintains offices in Woodland Park, New Jersey, McLean, Virginia and Abilene, Texas.

LCRA Expansion Agreement
In January 2025, the Company entered into the second agreement with Lower Colorado River Authority (“LCRA”) to sell 900 MHz Broadband Spectrum licenses covering 34 additional counties in its service area, building upon the 68 counties covered by the first LCRA agreement for total estimated consideration of $13.5 million.
Oncor Agreement
In June 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (“Oncor”) to sell 900 MHz Broadband covering 95 counties to deploy a private wireless broadband network in its transmission and distribution service area for total estimated consideration of $102.5 million (the “Oncor Agreement”). The total payment of $102.5 million comprises an initial payment of $10.0 million received in June 2024 with remaining payments due to the Company for each county, at closing. The timing and rights to milestone payments could vary as 900 MHz broadband licenses are granted by the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”), broadband licenses are assigned to Oncor and incumbents are cleared by the Company. Oncor operates more than 143,000 circuit miles of transmission and distribution lines in Texas, delivering electricity to more than four million homes and businesses across a service territory that has an estimated population of approximately 13 million people.
