ATNI

What ATNI does

ATNI (legal name Associated Tele Networking Inc., formerly Advanced Telecommunications Network Installation) is a privately held U.S. digital infrastructure services company providing turnkey project delivery across four core service lines: fiber optic network deployment, data center buildout and decommissioning, wireless/DAS infrastructure, and infrastructure asset management and recycling. The company serves two primary segments — large enterprises requiring fiber, data center, and wireless connectivity solutions, and communities and public entities pursuing broadband and digital economy initiatives — delivering services through project-based engagements that span design, permitting, pathway construction, fiber placement and splicing, commissioning, and end-of-life decommissioning. Operationally, ATNI maintains strategic offices in five major U.S. markets (Salt Lake City, Denver, Dallas, Tampa, and St. Louis) and runs a small team (11–50 employees) led by Jeff Lewis, Jeff Fischer, and Bil Cameron, whose combined telecom industry experience dates back to 1992. The company monetizes through professional services revenue tied to project scope and complexity; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. ATNI operates as an entity under ATN International Inc., and in November 2024 Global Alpha Capital Management Ltd. expanded its stake in that parent.
