WOODLAND PARK, N.J., Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anterix (NASDAQ: ATEX) issued the following statement from Christopher Guttman-McCabe, Chief Regulatory and Corporate Communications Officer, in response to the recently filed ex parte letter to the FCC from SpaceX:

“Anterix is pleased with the August 10, 2026 ex parte letter filed by SpaceX with the FCC regarding buildout requirements for low band spectrum. Anterix supports the SpaceX proposal to allow technology-neutral buildout options for 5/5 megahertz broadband licenses in the 896-901/935-940 MHz band through the existing terrestrial buildout requirements set out in Section 27.1505 or alternative waiver-based satellite D2D criteria, as optionality could help bring this spectrum to market faster. The SpaceX filing, and the increased activity around the 896-901/935-940 MHz band, highlight the growing interest in low band spectrum.”
