Spok Announces Sale of Spectrum Licenses to Sensus

  • Spok Holdings Inc. agreed to sell certain narrowband spectrum licenses from its two-way paging inventory to Sensus USA for $8 million.
  • A portion of the $8 million purchase price is deferred until existing Spok users are migrated to alternative frequencies.
  • The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to Federal Communications Commission approval.
  • The sale involves the transfer of five FCC regional licenses within the R12 NPCS block.
  • Spok plans to remove R12 NPCS frequencies from its network & migrate existing customers to other NPCS frequencies via over-the-air device programming.
  • CEO Vincent D. Kelly stated the sale supports a strategic realignment announced in mid-April to improve organizational efficiencies & monetize assets.
  • The CEO confirmed the sale will not negatively impact two-way subscribers due to ongoing wireless user attrition reducing the need for paging frequencies.
  • Spok is a global leader in healthcare communications headquartered in Plano, Texas, sending over 70 million messages monthly through its solutions.
