The combination pairs Spectrotel’s distributed enterprise expertise with AireSpring’s nationwide facilities-based fiber network, geo-redundant voice infrastructure and channel-exclusive model to serve enterprise, mid-market and SMB customers. “The market is moving beyond buying connectivity and individual technology solutions toward something much more strategic — enterprises want a partner that can take accountability for how their network performs and the outcomes it delivers,” said Ross Artale, Chief Executive Officer of Spectrotel.

Ross Artale continues as CEO, with Russ Shipley as COO and Terri Vaccarino as CMO. Grain Management also remains an investor, and members of the Lonstein family, AireSpring’s founders, retain significant minority stakes.
