Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to today's Anterix investor conference call. At this time, all participants have been placed on a listen-only mode, and we will open the floor for your questions and comments after the presentation. It is now my pleasure to turn the floor over to your host, Natasha Vecchiarelli. Ma'am, the floor is yours. Hello, everyone. I'm Natasha Vecchiarelli, Vice President, Investor Relations and Corporate Communications at Anterix.

Following the prepared remarks, we will have an operator-led question-and-answer session. In addition, at the conclusion of today's call, a replay and transcript of our discussion will be posted to our investor relations website. With that, I'll turn the call over to Anterix's President and CEO, Rob Schwartz. Thanks, Natasha, and hello, everyone. Thank you for your flexibility to join this call on short notice and for a very good reason. We are excited to talk to you today about our just-announced 20-year, $80 million spectrum agreement with Xcel Energy. We believe this breakthrough transaction, when combined with the recent Utility Broadband Alliance, or UBBA Summit in California, with record participation of utilities and the vendor ecosystem, represents a key inflection point in our mission of positioning Anterix as the de facto provider of private wireless broadband to utilities. I'm gonna first pass it over to Ryan to provide more details on the Xcel deal, and then I'll wrap it up with some concluding remarks before we turn to Q&A. Thanks, Rob, and hello, everyone. I'm excited to share with you today just how meaningful our recent contract with Xcel Energy is, not only for our shareholders, but for the entire industry. Let me start with just who is Xcel Energy. They are a Fortune 500 investor-owned utility, headquartered in Minneapolis, with operating companies spanning the eight states of Minnesota, Colorado, Michigan, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin. Within the industry, they are considered a true thought leader, recognized as the first U.S. energy provider to set aggressive clean energy goals across all the ways their customers use energy. Xcel Energy plans to deploy a wireless broadband network to support their grid modernization initiatives for the benefit of its 3.7 million electricity customers and 2.1 million natural gas customers. They now join industry leader Southern Company, Ameren, San Diego Gas & Electric, and Evergy in pursuing wireless broadband adoption. Xcel, however, represents something new and transformational. We believe that both their scale in terms of the number of operating companies, customers served, the numbers of states where they have a footprint, as well as their industry leadership, will have a strong influence on the rest of the sector, particularly their larger peers. A new industry reference point has been set for utilities of scale that is reflective of the robust evaluation and diligence process that this large utility went through. Now for some details on the agreement. Please note that we've also provided a fact sheet with key agreement details that's available on the investor relations page of our website. Xcel's agreement allows for the exclusive use of our 900 MHz spectrum for up to 40 years, consisting of an initial term of 20 years, with an option to extend the agreement for two 10-year terms for additional payments. Recall, as we have highlighted in the past, that our projected median contract value is $60 million, anticipating half our future contracts to be above $60 million and half to be below. At $80 million for the initial 20-year term, this Xcel agreement is the first to cross that median, and I believe validates our ability to bring 900 MHz private broadband to utilities of all sizes and complexity, with some significantly larger deals to come. Consistent with all of our contracts to date, the $80 million value represents fair market value for broadband spectrum in the unique Xcel service territory. We anticipate receiving approximately 80% of the proceeds by the second quarter of 2024, with the contract fully paid by mid-2028 based upon the spectrum delivery schedule. Additionally, we're excited that Xcel has committed to collaborate with Anterix to accelerate the industry momentum for private networks, including joint collaborations with respect to the development, utilization, marketing, and commercialization of 900 MHz spectrum, as well as in supporting technology trials of our newly launched Anterix Active Ecosystem platform. Further, we're pleased to have Xcel Energy Senior Executives as part of our Utility Strategic Advisory Board, where they will join existing executive members from Dominion Energy, Exelon, Ameren, Evergy, Southern Company, and other. We look forward to this expanded group helping to shape the nationwide network of networks landscape. Through these initiatives and more, it's evident that Xcel is dedicated to aiding broad industry adoption and acceleration of private broadband in support of our nation's utility grid modernization efforts. During our call in August, we provided more granularity regarding four important pending deals intended to give a perspective of the different types of customer journeys and complexity we are seeing across the 60+ utilities in our pipeline, including with very large holding and operating company entities who have been making great progress in aligning wireless broadband to their unique business and stakeholder needs. Finalizing the Xcel agreement brought one of those four complex deals to conclusion. In a segment known for its risk aversion, having a reference transaction for our other large utility executives is invaluable, and I anticipate seeing the discussion start to invert from the risk of making a decision regarding the investment in and deployment of private broadband, to the risk of indecision and not taking action that secure the risk-reducing grid modernization benefits of having a private wireless broadband network. While the complexity of the remaining deals still exists, we've been continuing to make solid progress across the pipeline. As Rob will discuss, the incredible other summit that just concluded, including the laser focus of private wireless broadband, as well as the significant C-level participation, again demonstrating the non-competitive collective behavior of this industry. These utilities engaging in this collaboration at UBBA are the very utilities we are supporting through our pipeline. What remains unpredictable, as we have seen, is knowing the exact timing of these contracts due to the multiple layers of organizational and operating company approval to get some signature. From my vantage point, in having direct interaction with these utilities we have in the expanding later stages of our sales process, I continue to believe it's not a matter of if, but rather when we close these contracts. Let me wrap up by saying that from the perspective of the pipeline and overall market, the announcement today of Xcel Energy and what we're already realizing from the momentum flowing from the event with UBBA are all very positive signs, only enhancing our confidence in meeting our targets and achieving our mission of being the de facto provider of private wireless broadband to utilities. I'll now turn it back over to you, Rob. Thanks, Ryan. Clearly, there's a lot here to be excited about. I want to put our Xcel announcement in context with what we saw at the recent UBBA Summit and how these two great achievements put us in line for the future. As many of you know, Anterix created, funded, and actively managed UBBA, starting with the initial launch in 2019. Utility leaders Ameren, NYPA, and Southern Company were UBBA pioneers, and others soon followed. It's now become a trusted environment, energized by utility peer-to-peer collaboration. From the beginning, UBBA has held an annual summit where leading utilities and the industry ecosystem come together with the specific and valuable focus of sharing experiences, use cases, and plans to build private wireless broadband networks. This year, it was a seminal event hosted by Southern California Edison, with over 500 utility thought leaders registered, including representatives from more than 20 utilities. Those numbers dwarf attendance from the event just a few years ago. It's not just the size and scale of the event that was unique. One palpable change at this year's event, and the reason that we think it was transformational, was the growing participation of C-level leadership, bringing the discussion topics to a much more strategic level. Industry leaders publicly discussed the urgency to adopt private broadband and also expressed the complexity that comes with deploying a network. On open panels and in robust private discussions, executives shared their learnings and their plans regarding private LTE evolving into 5G, including how it could address key issues. Topics included enhanced resiliency against increasing weather events, achieving decarbonization targets with the power of connectivity and control of distributed energy resources, and building stronger cybersecurity in an ever-increasing threat landscape. This senior-level acknowledgment that wireless broadband is a strategic asset underpinning most, if not all, of their primary utility objectives strongly aligns with and enhances our effort to move the entire sector forward. To bring it full circle, and as a strong demonstration of Xcel's full commitment to driving nationwide collaboration with utility private broadband, at the event, it was announced that Xcel will be the host of the UBBA Summit in Minneapolis next year. There's another thing I wanted to address that highlights our position within the private LTE landscape for utilities. Just last month, two industry-leading organizations, EPRI and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, each partnered with Anterix in response to a Department of Energy funding opportunity regarding cybersecurity. Both of the applications focused on demonstrating the cybersecurity benefits that can flow from the deployment of private, secure wireless broadband networks using 900 MHz spectrum. We're excited to be in a position where we're being asked to partner with these industry leaders. With the recent conclusion of another big wireless industry event, Mobile World Congress, there's a continued increasing focus in the marketplace on utilizing private broadband networks for enterprise solutions. As I said on our last call, we at Anterix aren't just talking about it. Anterix, with contracts now in 12 states, is leading the private wireless revolution with what we estimate to be more contracted private wireless broadband networks in the U.S. than likely everyone else combined. Let me wrap up by saying that we believe all of this collective industry activity from UBA and its recent summit to joint applications with leading industry organizations, as well as today's announcement regarding our new contract with Xcel, support the continued industry adoption of 900 MHz private broadband networks. It all enhances our confidence in meeting our targets and delivering on our mission to become the de facto provider of private wireless broadband solutions to utility and critical infrastructure sectors. That concludes our prepared remarks. I'll now turn it back over to the operator for questions. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, the floor is now open for questions. If you would like to enter the queue to ask a question at this time, you may press Star one on your telephone keypad to enter the queue. We do ask, if listening on speakerphone this morning, that you pick up your handset while asking your question to provide optimal sound quality. Once again, ladies and gentlemen, you may press Star one on your telephone keypad now to enter the queue to ask a question. Please hold a moment while we pull for questions. The first question this morning is coming from Philip Cusick from JP Morgan. Philip, your line is live. Please go ahead. Hi, guys. Thanks. A couple of simple ones. First, can you give us a household or population number underneath these underneath the new contract? I apologize if I missed it. Second of all, just give us an update on where we are in the pipeline at the different stages, any movement among other potential customers over the last few months. Thanks very much. Thanks. Good morning, Phil. Tim, why don't you take the first question, and we'll go to Ryan for the second. Sure. Phil, for strategic purposes, we're no longer providing megahertz per pop or population data or the comps. It really confuses the conversation with customers who are really more focused on customers that the utilities have, the meters or the geographic area. It really comes down to a real estate value per county conversation. That being said, this deal is consistent with our other deals, and its pricing is comfortably between the equivalent 600 MHz and AWS-3 legacy auction outcomes. I also wanna note that our pricing model does take into account current market conditions, including information from the most recent low-band transactions, our previous transactions, and the current impacts of inflation. It's not to our benefit for ongoing negotiations to go into too much more detail on pops. Okay. Ryan, your second follow-up question was on pipeline, if you wanna take that. Yeah, happy to. Good morning, Phil. I mean, overall, we've been continuing to see good momentum just in general across the pipeline. Let me come back to a couple examples we just referenced, though. You know, obviously, we're notably anticipating what the shot in the arm effect is gonna be just from the communication today, but probably more apparent already given we're about two weeks separated from the event, you know, with just the relationship to the conversation that grew out of the UBBA event in Southern California. It's been a positive momentum builder just in terms of continuing to drive mass scale and evolution of the conversation. In fact, one point of reference I wanted to put out just so that folks can understand the relationship between how much the growth is in the participation in UBBA and how it relates to our pipeline. You know, as I've said in the prepared remarks, you know, those are the same folks obviously that we're talking to across all three phases, but they're continuing to grow. Notably, you know, just in the attendance of UBBA, you know, and the utilities that participate in it, you know, we calculate about 50% of our potential spectrum value contract proceeds, you know, are represented in that audience. It's been a significant opportunity to speak to all of them collectively and see them starting to share their lessons learned and experiences that really help the next in line as we continue to make movement through all the various three phases. Thanks, guys. Thank you. The next question is coming from Winston Len from Equator Ventures. Winston, your line is live. Please go ahead. Thank you. Thank you. Good morning, everyone. This is great news. I was talking at the UBBA summit and saw how excited the utilities were about private LTE, and frankly, it's impressive to hear the utilities discuss the network of network opportunities. That kind of brings me to my question, which is that with these multi-decade deals, it seems to me that Anterix is well-positioned to act as an advisor to the utilities as they embark on their journey to upgrade the network. How should investors think about the long-term commercial opportunity here? Thank you. Thanks, Winston. Also thanks for attending that other event and sharing your thoughts. You know, as we talk about, I'm gonna bring it specifically because it's worth it in the Xcel deal as Ryan went through, beyond representing the long- term, you know, up to 40 years, a 20-year deal with two 10-year renewals. There's also a component of really what I think is collaboration with Anterix on our Active Ecosystem program and platform. As you know, we're early in that development. We've talked about some of the key elements or some of the pieces of the components in there, which we think are gonna be very valuable. What's worth noting two things. One is, I think the majority of those, as we push them out today, really are focused on driving adoption by utilities. We're trying to make the adoption, the usage, the management of these broadband platforms easier with the integration of key products we think are valuable. For example, our CatalyX product that we've talked about in the past and Ryan talked about really helps utilities more easily manage their SIM management, which is, you know, putting on new devices and being able to drive them forward as they continue to grow their networks. Other ecosystem elements we have within our entire Anterix Active Ecosystem program, you know, the cybersecurity elements, as an example. We've got over a half dozen companies, several of whom were at the other event, driving greater sophistication that you can get from commercial networks of having layers of cybersecurity, you know, bespoke to those individual utilities networks. These are all services that we are, you know, with partners, and with our ecosystem partners, creating new products to be able to drive adoption, but absolutely see value creation over the long- term. Remember, we're going into 20-30 year relationships with these utilities, and so we're in this for the long game. We do see value creation for shareholders. I think it's too early to put any kind of predictions on the kind of value. For now, we're really primarily focused on adoption, getting to our, you know, usage of our nationwide spectrum. Clearly more to follow, especially as we have partners like Anterix. I'm sorry, partners like Ameren and Evergy and Xcel and SDG&E that now are helping us drive these particular products to market, pilot test and obviously commercialize as a goal. Great. Maybe just one follow-up. How impactful is the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for the adoption of Private LTE for the utilities here? Because I noticed you have some marketing collateral on the website around that. What is the potential role and benefit to Anterix in towards helping the utilities get some of this funding? Absolutely. Maybe I'll start there, and then we'll pass it over to Chris Guttman-McCabe. You know, we've always talked about them as being a catalyst for adoption. You know, it's not an essential, as you can see, the customers who have signed on so far didn't require any incremental funding to be able to drive forward. That being said, we are seeing considerable interest, and we're helping both shaping some of the legislative process. We are involved in a lot of the language and making sure that the use of these proceeds can be used for private broadband networks. We see opportunities both helping utility customers and even some programs for ourselves to go directly into the Department of Energy and try and seek funding for some of those things. It's a strong tailwind for us, overall just because it really enhances the conversation. Chris, you wanna add to that? Yeah, Rob, thank you. Spot on. I mean, Winston, we worked hard over the last couple years to really set the table for the utilities if they choose to participate and worked with folks on Capitol Hill and at the Department of Energy to get language into the bipartisan legislation in a range of areas that would support private LTE. We have had many conversations with utilities about their desire to potentially take advantage of those funds. As Rob referenced, we are also investigating potentially partnering with some organizations to pursue funding. Again, all of it just like the work we do with our active ecosystem, all of it is designed to spur, facilitate, accelerate private LTE deployment at 900 MHz. Stay tuned. It looks like the programs are gonna open up in this fall, potentially in the next month or so, and with money being deployed, you know, thereafter. You know, we're excited for the tailwinds that this could provide. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing more of these contracts to come from you. Thanks, Winston. Thank you. The next question is coming from Simon Flannery from Morgan Stanley. Simon, your line is live. Please go ahead. Great. Thank you. Good morning, and my congratulations. Nice to see. Just coming back to Philip's question, was this customer one where you'd said you'd reached commercial contract terms with one of the customers? Good morning, Simon. Thank you. This was one of the four customers we talked about. You know, our desire to always maintain the confidentiality of the pending deals, we really can't talk about specifically which one. Ryan, maybe you wanna talk a little about kind of the update in the context of our last call I think that Simon's referring to. Yeah, happy to. Thanks. Yeah, absolutely. Good morning, Simon. Hi, Ryan. Yeah, no, as we noted in the last call, you know, we were bringing attention to four deals to be able to show, you know, some of the complexities in the area of movement that we've been seeing across them. As Rob said, certainly Xcel was one, you know, has been going through it. You know, or the other three really highlighted different scenarios around the role that, you know, our conversations played as utilities, either, you know, as a, you know, larger, you know, series of operating companies that are much larger holding companies and fundamentally how we had to approach these. The second was really looking at private broadband, you know, as part of a transformation and grid modernization programs, which we see typically. Then the last scenario was really focusing on the opposite, where we had an individual operating company under the footprint of a much larger holding company. You know, all those are still great examples of the types of different deal flows that we've seen. You know, Xcel by nature obviously, you know, highlights the capability to move forward with, again, a, you know, a large multi-operating company environment. I mean, had a, you know, complex set of use cases ultimately that they were trying to see. I'll reference it back to other though, just for one perspective, Simon. You know, kind of one of the things we've talked about for a while is how important it was to see the C-suite engage themselves in this conversation. We've been seeing it and feeling it firsthand. You know, we've been engaging with them. It was on full display at other and seeing the CIOs, the CTOs, you know, and these kind of folks engage directly on main stage, not just speaking of what they've been realizing in terms of the important role of broadband, but using that as a forum to educate the others in both our pipeline and just across the industry. That's fundamental to many of these types of deals. You know, the elevation of, you know, private LTE and communications in general to fit the strategic urgent needs of the utilities. Are strong motivators for them to start seeing the urgency and being able to move some of these opportunities forward. That's consistent across all of these. I anticipate we're gonna see more of that, you know, now with the announcement of Xcel Energy and getting their engagement in both the advisory board and the other activities, you know, out across the market. They're now on our side in terms of wanting to see, you know, continued growth of the space and development of the ecosystem that actually helps their needs, as well as kind of other ducks in line. Great. My follow-up was on the cash flows here. I think you said 80% by Q2 of 2024. I'm presuming that's a calendar year, not a fiscal year, if you can just clarify that. How confident do you feel about the clearing process? Any kind of challenges on this specific spectrum? Use of cash. I know you've sort of canceled the earnings call at this point. I don't know if you can give us the cash balance, you know, buybacks, you know, where that stands today and in light of this deal. Yeah. Thanks, Simon. For the sake of your models, we expect to have approximately $30 million in by mid-2023, and that's calendar 2023, and another approximately $35 million in around second quarter of calendar 2024. That's the 80%. $35 million? Yep, $35 million, with the rest coming in between 2024 and 2028 to get to the full $80 million. Clearing is going really well. We've been ahead of the game here on Xcel and have done a great job, particularly in the main areas around Denver and Minneapolis. We expect to be spot on with the delivery schedule that we've set in the contract with them. From a cash perspective, I'm not gonna answer any specific financial questions until the Q is released at the end of the day today, but I would say we're in great cash position to end the quarter, and we feel good about where we are. Our buyback has been consistent with where it's been over the past several quarters. You'll see that detail in the Q that gets announced later today. Looking forward from a buyback perspective, you know, we consider where we are with our balance, what we've got coming in in the timing of payments, just as we have each of the previous quarters. We'll continue to move forward proactively with fulfilling the $50 million program that the board has put in place for the buyback. Great. Thank you very much. Thank you. The next question is coming from Walter Piecyk from LightShed. Walter, your line is live. Please go ahead. Thanks. Just a question on what this company has in terms of their customers. Should we just assume that these 3.7 million electricity customers, if this 2.1 million is a complete overlap on the 3.7 million, then there's just the remaining 1.6 million are people that have, I guess, oil or something? Yeah. Good morning, Walter. There is absolutely overlap between their electricity and their natural gas customers. Kind of, you know, a lot of these integrated utilities have over time either acquired or built out both those. Not precise overlap. We can send you the detailed information. They provide service territories for both of those. So, they're not additive. They're overlapping for sure. But I think just one kind of important expansion, I think, while Walter's talking about Xcel, they are just, you know, the number of customers, the number of states, the scale and the influence they have within the sector is really tremendous. It's hard. I know we've got a lot of telecom investors on the phone who don't know the utility space as well. We know we've got utility focuses on too. The leadership that they've had in this sector for quite a while, they're the first ones, as Ryan mentioned, to really put out aggressive decarbonization targets, before anyone was even talking about that. They've been very innovative on the technology side, you know, the integration of both gas and electric from a service standpoint. We're also just really excited about the influence that they have on their peers in the sectors. As you know, we talk about the Utility Broadband Alliance event. You know, they were there active with a big team of people. As I mentioned, they've committed to hosting that event in Minneapolis next year. Their leadership role and uniquely in the sector that we're in here, the influence on peers' influence on each other is so much greater than our team could ever do directly. That's a very important part of what we're trying to establish. This is a really big monumental deal in that regard. Are they all, residential customers, or is there any business in there? No, it's all electric customers in their service territory, so they serve enterprise, and residential. Got it. Obviously that helps us with the simple math to get to a channel per pops number. Could you just talk qualitatively about the demographics in terms of population density or however you wanna describe it, compared to Evergy, and maybe even Ameren? I'm sure we can share with you as a follow-up a lot of the detail. Given the eight states they're in, they've got some you know, urban areas, and they've got some very rural areas as well in you know, you can imagine what it's like in North Dakota and South Dakota, New Mexico. They also have a number of key cities in there as well. It's blended. I know we've done a lot of this work in the past in a lot of this world. Let us follow up and provide some additional detail. They do disclose a lot about their own service territory on their own website, and so we can help you with some internal guidance as you're building your models to make sure you've got the information you need. Got it. Thank you. Thank you. The next question this morning is coming from George Sutton from Craig-Hallum. George, your line is live. Please go ahead. Thank you. Great news, guys. Relative to the C-level involvement you mentioned at UBBA and also the urgency to deploy, given that, you know, this deal was years in the making, can you just talk about how this C-level involvement might accelerate some of these opportunities given that they're becoming broader in scope? Sure. George, I'll start off. Anyone else can feel free to hop in. You know, just give you one sort of snapshot example of one particular panel during the multi-day UBBA event. You know, we had several CIOs across utilities, some that are customers and some that are prospective customers, openly talking in front of, you know, this population of what is probably half of our spectrum value in the room between the 20+ utilities that are there. Talking about not just the technical aspects, which I think if you went back several years to UBBA, that was really the key issue of, you know, how does spectrum work, what is private LTE? Now it's about, you know, CIOs talking about solving important use cases, you know, key outcomes of, you know, how do we drive, how the cybersecurity aspects of our network by integrating these networks. How do we secure and connect to, you know, all these distributed energy sources with renewable energy, solar, wind, batteries getting distributed throughout. You know, SDG&E is there talking about how they're connecting up their battery storage, as an example. You know, the list of valuable use cases expands, but having C-suite folks in front of, you know, their peers talking about the value that they're gonna attribute. All this rolls back into the utilities as they go through this complicated process. We've talked about how complicated it is to get you know, you start with the CIO, CTO side of the house and their telecom group, and then they have to sell it across the organization, right? In Xcel's case, where they have eight different states and multiple OpCo, that's the lengthy process that happens. Once we get the mind share and the buy-in of the senior leadership, that's process, right? We get past the question of should they do this, and then it's just about how do they do this. That's the kind of peer sharing that we saw, both from the podium, as I talked about, but one of my favorite things at UBBA was, you know, talking to one utility, and then introducing them to another utility, and then just watching them connect and share their learnings and experiences. You have, you know, mature utilities there in private LTE like Southern Company talking to newer new entrants that are there, including, you know, a number of our previous opposition that were there in force, there to learn about how to do this. It's not a question of if they're trying to figure out, it's how they do it and when they get implemented. That's really the powerful impact now of having the senior level sponsorship at UBBA and otherwise in other public forums. That's fabulous. One other thing on the importance of the experimental license. This was an experimental license that we were encouraged to actually recently see renewed. How important are the experimental licenses going forward? At what point are all these reference customers important enough to move beyond the need for an experimental license? Yeah, George, it's a great question. Essentially, it's a question we hear across all kinds of vendors within the utility space. This is not a private LTE issue about experimenting and piloting. Utilities are just known for having to hands-on trial lots of stuff before they put it out there. That's, you know, everything from a Microsoft seat license out to private LTE, just to give you an idea of it. The CTOs always, you know, complain about it, but it's part of their process. We do think with the sharing, it's gonna streamline that process, right? The level of knowledge and experience that so many utilities have. You know, the first ones in some of the pilots, we saw very basic things like, you know, can a cell phone do a handoff between two sites, right? Which we're doing every day as they are as well. Now it's evolved to integration with much more complex and valuable use cases that they're testing. Everyone's got their own, you know, individual bespoke use cases, but also specific applications. I think we'll continue to see pilots for some utilities. Remember, not every utility that we've brought on board has done experimental licenses or pilots, and some are gonna learn through the forums at UBBA, others will learn through the work you know, we've done with NREL and other entities. We see that there's different points of entry. I expect we'll still see some experimental licenses, but I don't think it's gonna be the only way in which utilities are gonna get to yes on deploying 900 MHz private LTE. Super. Thank you. Thank you. Your next question is coming from James Ratcliffe from Evercore ISI. James, your line is live. Please go ahead. Thanks. In your release, you mentioned that you'll be trialing border spectrum management services with Xcel and with neighboring utilities. Who are these neighboring utilities, and where do they sort of fit in the, you know, both nature and smaller potential opportunities? Thanks. Yeah, James, thanks for the question, and good morning. There are, you know, a number of services and products that we've been developing, one of which is the kind of border management aspect of it. Just to make that clear, you know, you take your cell phone to Europe and you go from country to country where there's multiple carriers and the seamless handoff that you get, that's an attribute, a feature built into the LTE, you know, 4G, 5G technology. As we're deploying these individual islands of LTE networks. Someone has to coordinate between those. We're looking to really help play the role of the interconnectivity between those networks. It's more than just border management, you know, so you can cross. It's also, you know, a key part of the utility relationships in the collaboration they do is something called mutual aid. Like the ability to roll a truck. You probably saw this, unfortunately, in the recent Florida storms where, you know, hundreds of trucks came from utilities outside of that region to come help utilities within the region. Unfortunately, most of the communications in those trucks, the two-way radios, the other forms of data communications are incompatible. You know, they don't have the interoperability. What we heard is a lot of those trucks have to go to a, you know, parking lot staging area and get their manifests of their work on paper and then go out, do their work, and come back and get their next element. Connectivity, the interoperability of communications between those utilities, is really important, and that's another element that comes. The way we're looking at doing that now is through our cloud core product, the ability to interconnect the cores that they put in place and be able to share services across those networks. That same cloud core can be used for lots of services well beyond those. That's the way we're working today on that. It's an evolving effort with our ecosystem partners. Rob, it's Chris. You know, what I would add is, when you think of whether it's the cloud core or the SIM management or the creation of, you know, the ecosystem, which now has more than 85 companies in it, our goal is to help the utilities solve the issues that are in front of them. Some of them are, you know, existential in nature, but you know, others are about the evolution of the grid. I think that's what makes us sort of a different type of wireless company. We are laser-focused on solving and finding solutions, creating and finding solutions for the utility sector. Whether it's the border management issues or the SIM management, the cloud-hosted core, or sort of any other issues that might arise, we are setting up, you know, a future reality for the utilities that those questions can and will be addressed by Anterix, by our active ecosystem members, and by their peers. Got it. Thank you. Thank you. There are no further questions in queue at this time, and I would now like to pass the floor back to Rob Schwartz for closing comments. Thank you, operator. Thank you, everybody, for joining us on short notice this morning. As you can hopefully hear, we're extremely excited about this milestone achievement for us. As you know, we're a different kind of wireless company with a model that we believe has an incredible resiliency even in a difficult economic environment. We see tremendous opportunity from all of the increasing market momentum from the Utility Broadband Alliance and all of the other market elements that are increasing from a level of support and capabilities. With that, feel free to follow- up with us and through Natasha with any further questions, and have a great day. Thank you. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. This does conclude this morning's conference call. You may disconnect your phone lines at this time and have a wonderful day. Thank you for your participation.
