Since 2003, Arizona Nevada Tower Corporation (ANTC), based in Las Vegas, Nevada has specialized in providing wireless communication facilities in strategic locations throughout Nevada, including an existing network servicing 850 miles of the Highway 95 and Highway 93 NAFTA corridors leading out of Las Vegas. ANTC currently is expanding its operations by providing carrier grade backhaul service throughout its growing network, and by providing wireless broadband Internet access to select rural communities in the Southwest through collaboration with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA. With a highly qualified team and strategic relationships with crucial industry operatives, ANTC plans to deploy more than 50 wireless facilities by 2012, ensuring a seamless carrier coverage footprint and the necessary infrastructure for greater broadband Internet access in rural communities.
ANTC leases its facilities to carriers such as Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile, Verizon, CC Communications, AT&T, Cricket, metroPCS, and Alltel. These carriers are increasingly sensitive to the high costs associated with network traffic management, and are eager to reduce recurring expenses through alternative backhaul solutions. ANTC takes advantage of this through the deployment of a high-speed backhaul network on existing and proposed network facilities. This network, while serving the carriers, will also open the door to broadband Internet services in rural Nevada. The market for wireless broadband services in rural communities of Nevada presents a favorable climate from which ANTC’s services will continue to expand.
