The Wireless Infrastructure Association (WIA) today announced the appointment of Douglas W. Chambers to its Board of Directors. Chambers, formerly U.S. Cellular’s CFO, is now serving as Interim President and CEO of Array Digital Infrastructure, the newly spun-off tower and spectrum-focused company.
“WIA is pleased to welcome Doug Chambers to WIA’s Board,” said WIA President and CEO Patrick Halley. “His leadership will help us continue advocating for an environment that supports connectivity everywhere.”
Expressing his commitment, Chambers remarked, “It’s an honor to be appointed to the WIA Board. WIA has a strong reputation for focused and successful advocacy at the federal and state levels on behalf of its members. I look forward to working with my fellow Board members to support WIA’s important mission.”
Array Digital Infrastructure, previously known as U.S. Cellular’s tower division, officially completed its rebrand and separation following the sale of its wireless operations to T-Mobile on August 1, 2025. The company is getting ready to unveil its new logo and website.
As part of the divestiture, Array retained ownership of approximately 4,400 tower sites, spectrum holdings, and noncontrolling investment interests — positioning it as the fifth-largest tower company in the U.S.
Q2 2025 Financial Snapshot
Array’s first quarter under the standalone structure produced encouraging results:
Operating revenue stood at $916 million, slightly down 1–1.4% compared to Q2 2024’s $927 million. Service revenue also softened, dipping to $736 million from $743 million year-over-year.
Net income surged to $31 million, a remarkable 82% increase over the previous year’s $17 million, with EPS improving to $0.36 from $0.20.
This strong profitability was fueled in part by streamlined operations and the strategic value unlocked from the sale to T-Mobile. The company subsequently announced a special dividend of $23 per share, payable on August 19, 2025.
Furthermore, third-party tower revenues grew by 12%, signaling robust demand from external carriers seeking capacity, while pending spectrum deals with AT&T and Verizon — slated to close in late 2025 and 2026 — offer opportunities for future growth
Chambers emphasized that Array’s transformation into a pure-play infrastructure entity provides predictable tower-based cash flow and margin expansion opportunities. With T-Mobile secured as a long-term tenant under a 15-year Master License Agreement, Array is well-positioned to scale its colocation business, monetize spectrum assets, and capitalize on pending licensing deals.
