Anterix (NASDAQ: ATEX), a provider of mission-critical private wireless broadband spectrum for utilities, and NorthWestern Energy announced a milestone sale agreement that marks the first planned deployment of Anterix’s 10 MHz broadband configuration in the 900 MHz band.
The agreement follows the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) unanimous February 2026 approval to expand Anterix’s broadband spectrum allocation. The companies said the change will effectively almost double the capacity available for utilities.
Under the milestone agreement, NorthWestern Energy will be the first utility to plan deployment using Anterix’s 10 MHz broadband configuration in the 900 MHz band.
“NorthWestern Energy’s territory spans vast distances across remote, rugged terrain and extreme weather conditions – exactly where our 900 MHz wireless broadband spectrum delivers unmatched, mission critical connectivity for utility communications,” said Anterix President & CEO Scott Lang. “We are proud to provide the foundation NorthWestern Energy needs to build a secure platform for a modern grid, enabling the delivery of safe, reliable energy for the communities they serve.”
NorthWestern Energy said the additional capacity from the 10 MHz configuration will support expansion of its wireless communications network to modernize the grid and energy infrastructure. “That means real-time control of remote distribution powerlines and equipment, redundant, reliable connectivity to field devices, real-time monitoring and enhanced situational awareness of our energy systems in areas at high risk for wildfire and more efficient restoration of service when outages do occur,” said NorthWestern Energy Director of Network Engineering and Operations Mark Maroney.
With this agreement, NorthWestern Energy becomes the tenth utility to secure Anterix’s 900 MHz spectrum. The companies said the milestone reflects an industry shift toward private, utility-controlled networks as preferred infrastructure for the energy transition.
Beyond spectrum, Anterix said it continues to support utility deployments through its TowerX nationwide tower access program, CatalyX turnkey connectivity management, and an Anterix Active Ecosystem of more than 150 technology innovators.
