We have a wide array of experience that has included representation of every major wireless provider in the U.S. – including mobile service providers such as SouthernLINC Wireless, T-Mobile USA, Leap Wireless/Cricket (now AT&T) – as well as early cellular, paging, and specialized mobile service companies (including AT&T Wireless, Nextel, Mobile-Media/Arch, and Bell Atlantic Nynex Mobile (now Verizon)).

Our experience also includes wireless infrastructure,  including negotiation of a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) agreements supporting both LTE and 5-G for a  recently  built, state-of-the art sports stadium.  Other wireless infrastructure experience includes a nationwide Wi-Fi buildout for the largest corporate housing providers, Wi-FI network agreements for a major U.S. airport, and LTE network buildout for a wireless affiliate of a large utility holding company.
