GeoLinks Taps Veteran CCO for Spectrum-Fueled Broadband Expansion
CAMARILLO, CA – February 20, 2026 – In a strategic move signaling aggressive growth ambitions, fixed wireless leader GeoLinks has appointed telecommunications veteran A.J. Moul as its new Chief Commercial Officer. The appointment comes as the company prepares for the highly anticipated commercial launch of its Licensed Spectrum offering, a technology it believes will reshape the broadband landscape in key markets across California, Arizona, and Nevada.
Moul, who will now lead GeoLinks' sales, marketing, and product functions, joins the executive team at a pivotal moment. He is tasked with spearheading the go-to-market strategy for the new service and accelerating revenue growth across all sales channels as the company seeks to capitalize on its significant spectrum holdings and challenge established internet service providers.
A Veteran's Mandate for Growth
A.J. Moul brings over two decades of leadership experience from some of the biggest names in telecommunications, including Frontier Communications, Zayo Group, and Level 3 Communications. His extensive background is seen as a crucial asset for GeoLinks as it transitions from a regional player to a national force in the fixed wireless access (FWA) market.
At Frontier Communications, Moul served as Vice President of Wholesale, leading sales and support teams. Before that, he spent a decade at Zayo Group, a major force in communications infrastructure, where he led the Media, Content, Commerce, and Technology vertical. This deep experience in driving growth and launching new products in competitive environments was a key factor in his appointment.
“We are excited to welcome AJ to the GeoLinks team,” said Kevin Hetrick, CEO of GeoLinks, in a statement. “With over two decades of experience in telecommunications across major providers... AJ’s track record of driving growth and introducing new product offerings into the marketplace is an ideal fit for GeoLinks as we continue to expand our footprint.”
Moul's mandate is clear: to commercialize GeoLinks' primary asset and drive market penetration. “I’m excited to join a fantastic team and help drive growth, innovation, and the customer experience,” Moul stated. “GeoLinks is already well-positioned in the fixed wireless market. We hope to increase our customer base as we roll out our Licensed Spectrum offering.”
The Spectrum Advantage: A High-Stakes Bet on Wireless
At the core of GeoLinks' strategy is its unique and powerful asset: the largest holding of licensed Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS) spectrum in the United States. Operating in the high-frequency 29/31 GHz bands, this spectrum allows for the delivery of high-capacity, low-latency broadband services wirelessly. The company significantly bolstered these holdings through strategic acquisitions, including a major purchase of 208 licenses from Verizon.
The key differentiator is the “licensed” nature of the spectrum. Unlike the unlicensed bands used by many Wi-Fi and some FWA services, licensed spectrum provides an exclusive, protected lane for data transmission. This dramatically reduces signal interference from other networks, resulting in a more secure, stable, and reliable connection with consistent, fiber-like speeds. For business and government clients, this reliability is a critical selling point.
This technology positions GeoLinks as a formidable competitor not only to other wireless providers but also to traditional fiber-optic services. While fiber offers immense bandwidth, its deployment is a slow and costly process involving extensive trenching and civil engineering. GeoLinks' FWA solution can be deployed far more rapidly, enabling the company to establish a presence in new markets and connect customers in a fraction of the time. This makes it an ideal solution for closing the “last-mile” gap, providing high-speed connectivity to business parks, multi-dwelling residential units, and enterprise locations where extending fiber is cost-prohibitive.
Targeting the Broadband Gap in Key Markets
The company’s ambitious strategy will have its first major test in Las Vegas this April with the commercial debut of the Licensed Spectrum product. This will be followed by subsequent rollouts in the dense and competitive Southern California markets of Anaheim, Riverside, and Pasadena later in 2026. These initial markets are characterized by high demand for robust connectivity from both a growing residential base and a diverse mix of commercial enterprises.
While these cities are served by major cable and fiber incumbents like Cox, Spectrum, and AT&T, GeoLinks is betting that its ability to offer a rapidly deployable, high-performance alternative will allow it to capture significant market share. The company plans to target customers frustrated by a lack of choice or underserved by existing infrastructure.
Beyond these initial metropolitan launches, the company's vision is far broader. The new service is intended to deliver enhanced bandwidth in over 1,300 counties, signaling a long-term plan to address connectivity needs across a wide geographic footprint. This includes suburban and rural areas within its target states that have been historically overlooked by major providers, aligning the company's commercial goals with the national push to bridge the digital divide.
The Power Behind the Push
Fueling this aggressive expansion is the formidable financial backing of GeoLinks' majority owner, JLC Infrastructure. An investment firm formed by Loop Capital and Magic Johnson Enterprises, JLC focuses on long-term investments in essential infrastructure sectors, including transportation, energy, and utilities. Their investment in GeoLinks represents a strategic play on the critical importance of digital infrastructure in the modern economy.
JLC's backing provides GeoLinks with more than just capital. As an experienced infrastructure investor, the firm offers strategic guidance, operational expertise, and a long-term perspective that allows the company to focus on sustainable growth rather than short-term returns. This stable financial foundation is crucial for funding the extensive network build-out and marketing required to launch a new service on such a large scale.
The appointment of a seasoned executive like Moul, combined with a unique technological advantage and the backing of a major infrastructure fund, creates a powerful combination. It signals to the market that GeoLinks is not just another small provider but a well-capitalized and strategically-led organization ready to make a significant impact on the telecommunications landscape. The upcoming Las Vegas launch will be a closely watched event, serving as the first true test of a strategy that could bring a new wave of competition and choice to customers across the Southwest.
