$250M Initiative Driving Grid Innovation
The AnterixAccelerator initiative is a $250 million commitment to advance private wireless broadband adoption through strategic collaboration and exclusive incentives.
This program is supporting an exclusive group of the nation’s most forward-thinking utilities in accelerating their grid modernization journey.
Why Utilities Can’t Wait
As utilities face growing demands for data, control, and security, private broadband has emerged as a trusted path forward. The need for secure, scalable communications infrastructure has never been more pressing.
Utilities across the country are recognizing the strategic importance of licensed spectrum in modernizing the grid and enabling long-term operational resilience. The value of dedicated broadband connectivity isn’t theoretical—it’s real, and it’s urgent.
“We viewed it like real estate.”
Carlos Carazo, former technology leader at Southern California Edison, viewed licensed spectrum like land—a strategic, long-term asset for grid modernization and telecom infrastructure.
With limited spectrum availability, rising operational complexity, and increased urgency around modernization, utilities are taking action to strengthen their networks and maintain control over mission‑critical operations.
Key Industry Drivers:
Strategic Collaboration. Unmatched Support.
The AnterixAccelerator program is part of a larger movement transforming utility communications across the country. With high-value collaboration support from Anterix Active Ecosystem members—including Ericsson, GE Vernova, and Nokia—the program is helping participating utilities unlock secure, scalable, and future-ready 900 MHz private broadband solutions.
This isn’t just a limited-time offer—it’s a strategic pathway for utilities to lead the energy future with clarity, control, and confidence. The structure of AnterixAccelerator reflects our deep understanding of utility needs, offering a unique combination of technology, flexibility, and trusted support.
What Participants Gain Through the Program:
-
Ericsson
“Private broadband networks are a key driver in the digital transformation of utilities, enabling the integration of diverse use cases. We are empowering utilities to own and operate these networks to meet their critical needs like safety, security, resilience, and operational flexibility.”
— Koustuv Ghoshal, Vice President and Head of Utilities, Energy & Industrials at Ericsson North America
-
GE Vernova
“We are proud to support the AnterixAccelerator program and partner with utilities as they modernize the grid through critical communication infrastructure enhancements, including the implementation of Anterix 900 MHz private wireless networks. Today, as part of the Anterix program, we deepen our commitment to supporting utilities starting their PLTE journey by offering incentives on affordable bundles of GE Vernova MDS Orbit Gateway, Orbit Core, and Orbit RAN solutions.”
— Bryan Friehauf, Grid Automation GM North America, GE Vernova
