JF, Leaf merges with Centerline

The collaboration between J5 Infrastructure Partners and Leaf Communications takes a new turn under the unified identity of Centerline, as announced by their parent company in May 2023.

J5 (formerly based in Irvine, California) specialises in both wireless and wireline services. These include a wide range of operations including site acquisition, leasing, permitting, zoning, wireless and fiber engineering, utility coordination, and equipment installation.

Leaf Communications (formerly based in San Clemente, California) stands as the West Coast experts in small cell technologies, 5G integration, construction management, first responder systems, site acquisition, and architecture and engineering services.

“This is an exciting step for our organisation, bringing the teams from J5 and Leaf under the Centerline brand,” says Josh Delman, Founder and CEO of Centerline.

Delman expressed his enthusiasm about this evolution, emphasizing the unification of J5 and Leaf under the Centerline umbrella.

“Working together under one name, we will be able to leverage our network of local resources and streamline wireless solutions for clients.”

J5, established in 2000 and became a part of Centerline in 2021, has a robust engagement with major wireless carriers in the U.S. J5 also collaborates with tower and infrastructure owners, as well as state and local governments.

Leaf, established in 2013 and integrated into Centerline in 2022, boasts a rich portfolio of over 3,800 deployments spanning 25 states in the USA.

Centerline, a venture under Audax Private Equity, specialises in designing, building, and maintaining cutting-edge wireless, wireline, and fibre networks, along with essential infrastructure facilities. Their comprehensive services encompass a spectrum from site acquisition and architecture to engineering, tower construction, fiber design, RF compliance, and small cell deployment.
