RF engineering and network optimization for wireless carriers and tower operators
ATEC Wireless is a 51–200-person RF engineering and consulting firm built around two operational cores: network design/optimization for wireless carriers, and managed services for tower operators and equipment vendors. The tech stack—FME, PostGIS, QGIS, ArcGIS, AWS, Azure, PostgreSQL—reveals a geospatial-first approach to network planning and mobile-site management. Current project volume suggests heavy internal data-infrastructure work (GIS cloud migration, ETL automation, Workday integration) alongside client-facing network deployments, indicating a services firm scaling internal tooling as much as field operations.
ATEC Wireless provides RF systems engineering, network planning, testing, and optimization services to wireless carriers, managed service providers, tower operators, and equipment vendors. The firm has designed and optimized over 20,000 wireless cell sites since 2004, covering all major wireless technologies (LTE, WCDMA, CDMA, Wi-Fi, in-building/DAS systems) across domestic and international deployments. Beyond design, ATEC offers managed services, technical staffing, and ongoing network operations and maintenance. The company operates from Parsippany, NJ, and manages both large-scale and small-scale projects, with active work spanning network optimization, in-building solutions, cloud-native GIS infrastructure, and tower-infrastructure compliance (FAA lighting relocation, FCC/FAA regulatory alignment).
ATEC uses FME, PostGIS, QGIS, and ArcGIS (Online and Enterprise) for geospatial planning and network design. For infrastructure: AWS, Azure, PostgreSQL, SQL, and Oracle. For operations: ServiceNow, Workday, and Workday Studio. For automation and integration: XML, JSON, SOAP, REST, and Hive.
Active projects include a nationwide FAA tower lighting system relocation, cloud-native GIS infrastructure migration (AWS/Azure), FME-based ETL automation for data integration, Workday platform integration, geospatial dashboard development, data clean-up and migration, and lease/payment reconciliation processes.
