Spok Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:SPOK), a global leader in healthcare communications, today announced the entry into an agreement to sell certain narrowband spectrum licenses in its two-way paging inventory to Sensus USA, a designer and manufacturer of metering and automatic meter-reading products catering to municipal and industrial markets worldwide. The purchase price is $8 million, with a portion of the consideration deferred until existing Spok users have been migrated to alternative frequencies. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to approval by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC").

"As part of the strategic realignment that we announced in mid-April, I am pleased to report that we continue to find efficiencies within our organization and to monetize our valuable asset base," said Vincent D. Kelly, chief executive officer of Spok Holdings, Inc. "This is a win for all parties involved. The proposed licenses sale to Sensus will not negatively impact our two-way subscribers, as we no longer require as many paging frequencies to support our two-way subscribers due to ongoing wireless user attrition over time," concluded Kelly.

The sale includes the transfer of five FCC regional licenses in the R12 NPCS block. The R12 NPCS frequencies will be removed from Spok’s multi-frequency two-way transmitter network where they are currently operating, and existing customers will be migrated to other NPCS frequencies licensed to Spok. The transfer will be seamless to customers, as the two-way devices will be programmed over the air to communicate on a new frequency.
