CHICAGO - May 21, 2025 (UTC) - Dense Air, a leader in shared wireless infrastructure, has rebranded as IONX Networks, marking a pivotal shift toward a customer-centric vision to tackle persistent mobile connectivity issues, including weak signals, dropped calls, and coverage gaps in challenging environments. The name IONX, standing for Integrated & Optimized Network Experiences, embodies the company’s mission to revolutionize cellular connectivity. As a small cell neutral host provider, IONX empowers enterprises, infrastructure partners, and mobile operators to overcome coverage challenges—both indoors and outdoors—through scalable, secure, and cost-efficient solutions. The IONX name resonates with the markets we serve and the value we deliver.
“Dense Air was a name born from our engineering roots, and while we are proud of that legacy, we are stepping into a new chapter.

We are taking everything we have built as Dense Air and channeling it into outcomes that truly matter to businesses, operators, and end users alike. Our goal is simple: eliminate connectivity challenges wherever they exist,” said Jim Estes, CEO of IONX Networks.

We bring strong, secure, seamless mobile connectivity to places where coverage was once a constant pain point. IONX is about solving those problems—fast, cost-effectively, and at scale,” said Mark Meuleman, Chief Revenue Officer at IONX Networks.
