New iPhone Models Are the First Apple Devices to Operate on Dedicated Anterix 900 MHz Private Networks

Anterix has announced that Apple's new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo models are the first Apple devices engineered to operate on dedicated private LTE networks utilizing Anterix's 900 MHz spectrum. Operating specifically on band 106 licensed 900 MHz spectrum, these smartphones allow critical infrastructure operators to incorporate consumer-grade flagship devices into specialized industrial and field operations. This development marks a significant integration milestone for private wireless communications. Critical infrastructure sectors, including utilities and industrial operators, can now utilize standard iPhone devices for field communications, operational applications, high-definition video streaming, and enhanced situational awareness without needing separate specialized handheld equipment. For Apple, expanding compatibility to private spectrum bands strengthens the enterprise and industrial utility of its flagship ecosystem. Meanwhile, Anterix expands the hardware ecosystem supporting its licensed spectrum, driving broader enterprise adoption of dedicated private LTE infrastructure across mission-critical sectors.
