Omega Wireless
Established to bid on wireless spectrum
Omega Wireless was established to bid on wireless spectrum in the 600MHz FCC Broadcast Incentive Auction. 600MHz spectrum is the last block of available low-band spectrum and a key infrastructure need for the rollout of 5G wireless services. Shamrock backed an experienced management team with significant prior knowledge of bidding in FCC spectrum auctions, which eventually resulted in the acquisition of 119 licenses in 83 unique markets across the United States.
