First Avenue Networks Closes Acquisition of Teligent Assets
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Jan. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- First Avenue Networks,
Inc. (OTC:FRNS) (BULLETIN BOARD: FRNS) , a leading provider of fixed wireless
solutions, today announced that it completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the assets and fixed broadband wireless operations of Teligent, Inc.
First Avenue issued approximately 25.2 million common shares and warrants to
purchase an additional 2.5 million common shares, or approximately 39% of its
fully diluted shares, at the close of the transaction.
This acquisition supports First Avenue's growth initiatives, which focus on
serving telecom network segments where high capacity fixed wireless offers a
demonstrable competitive advantage. The company acquired 24 GHz spectrum
licenses, radio assets and fixed wireless operations from Teligent, including
an operational cellular backhaul network in New York City with over 65 links.
First Avenue plans to continue to operate wireless links for mobile traffic
backhaul, metropolitan transport and fiber extensions to bridge critical
network gaps.
"This transaction represents a significant milestone for First Avenue Networks
and the fixed wireless industry," said Dean Johnson, president and CEO, First
Avenue Networks. "We believe our combined spectrum assets, operations
portfolio and strategic partnerships put First Avenue Networks in a very
favorable market position."
First Avenue now holds approximately 600 MHz of spectrum at 24 GHz and 39 GHz
in the top 75 U.S. markets. Ubiquitous national coverage, additional spectrum
depth in the largest metropolitan areas and the complementary characteristics
of its licenses distinguish First Avenue as having the premier collection of
millimeter wave spectrum assets.
