Verizon Communications (VZ) and Array Digital Infrastructure (AD) have obtained approval from the US Federal Communications Commission to assign several cellular, AWS-1, AWS-3, and PCS licenses from Array subsidiaries to Verizon Wireless, the commission said in a memorandum Thursday.

The Verizon Communications subsidiary is targeting to acquire zero to 25 megahertz of cellular spectrum, zero to 20 megahertz of AWS-1 spectrum, zero to 10 megahertz of AWS-3 spectrum, and zero to 20 megahertz of PCS spectrum in 618 counties across 19 states, covering roughly 8% of the US population, according to the memorandum.

The risk of public interest harm due to the applications is low, the commission said, adding that the transaction "is likely to produce public interest benefits that will enable Verizon Wireless to provide a better overall experience to its customers."
