WOODLAND PARK, N.J., May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anterix (NASDAQ: ATEX), the market leader in enabling mission-critical private wireless broadband networks, and satellite telecommunications provider Lynk Global , the pioneer of satellite Direct-to-Device (D2D) services, today announced that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has approved an experimental license to explore the use of Lynk’s satellite direct-to-device communications network in Anterix’s licensed 900 MHz broadband spectrum.

The integration of Lynk Global’s satellite capabilities with Anterix’s 900 MHz private wireless broadband networks and devices holds the promise to enhance the communications capabilities of the critical infrastructure community. Across multiple geographic locations, the parties will test representative communications devices, from land mobile radios, smart phones, and computers to advanced routers and edge devices. Convergence of wireless and satellite connectivity, powered by AI and edge compute, will enable nationwide intelligent and resilient connectivity that can support a wide range of sectors including electric and gas utilities, logistics companies, transportation providers, pipelines, military bases, and beyond.

“Testing the integration of 900 MHz-enabled devices with Lynk’s satellite capabilities will give us incredible insight into the products and services that could be developed, possibly opening the door to a new category of private, secure, resilient network services,” said Anterix Chief Regulatory & Corporate Communications Officer Christopher Guttman-McCabe. “Together, we are taking an important step toward a future where mission-critical communications are truly ubiquitous, supporting resilience, safety, and reliability no matter the conditions.”

“As Lynk scales to provide direct-to-device services at broadband speeds, this collaboration investigating the integration of a dedicated low-band spectrum opportunity into our agile multi-spectrum satellite platform is incredibly exciting,” said Lynk Global Executive Vice President & Chief Global Affairs Officer Amy Mehlman. “We look forward to working with Anterix and its partners to demonstrate the potential of the 900 MHz band to deliver integrated satellite-terrestrial connectivity solutions tailored to critical infrastructure operators’ mission-critical requirements.”
