Array Digital Infrastructure Sells Spectrum License to Verizon
Array Digital Infrastructure has finalized a spectrum license sale to Verizon, marking a notable transaction in the wireless infrastructure space.

While the financial terms of the transaction weren't disclosed in the announcement, completing a spectrum sale to a carrier of Verizon's scale is no small milestone for a digital infrastructure company.
