Verizon looks like it could be selling of the remainder of its LMDS millimeter wave licenses to fixed wireless service provider Etheric Networks.
Information from Etheric said the agreement involves 20 LMDS (Local Multipoint Distribution Service) band licenses, pending FCC approval. Markets include cities in California, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Washington, and Oregon. It reflects a total of MHz/POP of 12,508,914,900.
Etheric Networks’ CEO Alexander Hagen disclosed the news in a LinkedIn post last week, which has since been taken down. Hagen had said the purchase would support the company’s RDOF application and help provide operators in the Western U.S. with access to licensed multipoint spectrum. It would also make Etheric the largest holder of LMDS A/B licenses in the 29/31 GHz bands in California.
