Anterix has publicly supported SpaceX's proposal to the FCC regarding technology-neutral buildout options for low-band spectrum licenses. This endorsement highlights Anterix's interest in accelerating the deployment of this spectrum, potentially benefiting its own operations and the broader low-band spectrum market.
Anterix has issued a statement supporting SpaceX's recent ex parte letter to the FCC. This letter proposes allowing technology-neutral buildout options for 5/5 megahertz broadband licenses in the 896-901/935-940 MHz band, either through existing terrestrial requirements or alternative satellite D2D criteria. Anterix believes this optionality could bring this spectrum to market faster, which is a positive for companies like Anterix that utilize low-band spectrum for critical infrastructure. The increased activity around this band suggests growing interest, potentially leading to more efficient and widespread deployment of low-band services. For traders, this indicates a potential long-term positive for ATEX as regulatory hurdles for spectrum deployment may be eased, though the short-term market impact is likely moderate.
