Partnership Overview
Who Spectrotel is built for
Multi-location enterprises with 10-1,000+ sites needing simplified procurement across diverse carriers. Strong fit for retail chains, restaurants, banks/credit unions, healthcare clinics, franchise operators, and any business operating across geographies where no single carrier provides full coverage.
Spectrotel is a US-based managed network services provider and master agent/aggregator delivering integrated voice, broadband, SD-WAN/SASE, managed wireless, and managed services to multi-location enterprises through a CLEC + aggregator hybrid model (single contract, single bill, single point of accountability). Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Neptune, New Jersey, it aggregates hundreds of underlying carriers to serve businesses across the US, Canada, and globally, with particular strength in multi-location retail, restaurants, banking, and franchise operations. On September 30, 2026, Spectrotel Holding, LLC completed its merger with AireSpring (first announced April 23, 2026), combining Spectrotel's distributed-enterprise managed-services experience with AireSpring's nationwide facilities-based network and 100% channel-exclusive, global managed-connectivity portfolio. The combined, PE-backed company (continued majority investment by Grain Management, with Charlesbank Capital Partners and AireSpring's founding Lonstein family as minority investors) operates as a single managed network services platform led by CEO Ross Artale, with former AireSpring COO Russ Shipley as COO.
