Grain Management finalized its acquisition of T-Mobile’s 800 MHz spectrum portfolio. This nationwide, low-band spectrum is now immediately available to U.S. utilities for private network deployment.
Black & Veatch serves as the exclusive sales agent and advisor for the portfolio. The spectrum supports private LTE and 5G networks designed for mission-critical communications. These dedicated systems allow utilities to enhance cybersecurity and improve resilience against extreme weather.
The transaction enables a foundational shift from public networks to secure, private infrastructure. This upgrade helps utilities manage complex grid demands driven by electrification and renewable energy integration. Black & Veatch will lead the implementation of these new communication resources.
