What AirWay Technologies does
AirWay Technologies is a privately held U.S. provider of wireless and wireline telecommunications infrastructure products and services, founded in 1992 in Hebron, Kentucky and currently operating as a subsidiary of TXO Group. The company sells new, certified pre-owned, and repurposed wireless network equipment — including switching solutions, routers, SFPs, radios, fiber and coax assemblies, custom racking, BTS configurations, power supplies, antennas, and RF components — sourced across multiple OEMs such as Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei, Samsung, Ceragon, Juniper, and Ciena. Its proprietary Trakker© software, developed internally in 2002, functions as an ERP and wireless market intelligence platform that tracks inventory, quotes, orders, consignment programs, and carrier network activity. The company holds R2v3, ISO 9001/14001/45001, and ITAR (DDTC) certifications, the latter qualifying it for the FCC Rip and Replace program for Huawei and ZTE equipment disposal.
AirWay's business model combines hardware resale with a meaningful professional services overlay: project management, installation, integration, cell site upgrades, decommissioning, site kitting/staging, and turnkey 5G small cell deployments for wireline and wireless operators. It also runs 30+ consignment programs globally — effectively a recurring asset-recovery and redeployment arrangement — and has expanded into EV charging construction as an adjacent vertical. Revenue is generated through quote-based B2B contracts via direct enterprise field sales (account managers calling on telecom operators in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America), supplemented by channel partnerships with OEMs and VARs. The company serves 250+ customers ranging from tier-one national carriers to regional and rural operators and small startups across 80+ countries.
Operationally, AirWay has been in active expansion mode since 2018, when it was acquired by a group of wireless industry professionals led by CEO Thomas Eaton and Chairman Mark Gergel. In 2024, MNS Group companies were merged into AirWay, and the company was subsequently acquired by TXO Group as part of TXO's North American circular-economy buildout. AirWay has opened Tampa and Pensacola warehouse facilities (2023-2024), added fiber and 5G service lines, and grown its leadership team with a new CFO hire in March 2026, indicating post-acquisition professionalization under the TXO umbrella.
