Thanks, Natasha. Good morning, everyone, and thank you all for joining us. And a special welcome to our distinguished guest, Tom Kuhn, who, as you know, joined us as vice chairman in January after three decades of leading the Edison Electric Institute. Since our last quarterly investor call, discussing our encore agreement was just over a month ago, We'll keep today's remarks short. I'll start with a quick overview and then turn it over to Tom, who will share his industry insights and his perspectives on Enterix and our growing role within the utility sector. Let me start with where we are as a company as we continue to enhance our position in three key areas, our utility customer base, policymaker advocacy, and shareholder value creation. Regarding our utility customer base, the 900 megahertz utility broadband movement now stands strong with seven utility customers across 15 states, the scale of which has a total footprint when combined, positions it as the fourth largest wireless carrier in the nation, covering more geography, we believe, than all other private wireless broadband enterprise networks combined. we've developed a significant pipeline of customer opportunities measured in part by our demonstrated intent scorecard that provides measurable indicators of utility intent toward deploying a 900 megahertz private wireless network. We continue to collaborate with Enterix Active Ecosystem members to pursue the discovery and development of pioneering outcomes-driven products and solutions that harness 900 megahertz networks, like our Catalyx solution offering. And just recently, we announced an agreement with the National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative along with Southern Company and Ericsson that leverages NRTC as an indirect channel to offer the benefits of our 900 megahertz spectrum to their rural cooperative utility members. This announcement underscores the growing nationwide demand from utilities for our offering, regardless of ownership model or size, and further demonstrates Antarex's role in helping to shape the nationwide network of networks landscape. On the regulatory front, we continue to engage with key policymakers, both at the federal level, including numerous co-petitioners for the FCC 900 MHz 5x5 proceeding, and at the state level, working closely with utilities before various public utility commissions. With each, we are continuing to increase awareness of the significant benefits that 900 MHz private wireless broadband can unlock for the utility sector, and we believe the messages are being well-received. And now turning to our shareholders. At the heart of our strategy and our mission to actualize it, we maintain our focus on efforts that enhance shareholder value. Our number one priority is continuing to drive our customer pipeline towards spectrum transactions. With that, we also remain focused on continuing development of our team, including our three newest board members, targeted use of our share repurchase program, and identifying opportunities within the product and solution space. Our goal is to continue to enhance our position within each of these three areas by executing on our mission, delivering secure, scalable solutions enabled by private wireless broadband connectivity for the benefit of utilities and the communities that they serve. And with that, I'll turn it over to Tom.
