STEEL IN THE AIR, INC.
BALDWINSVILLE, NY

Steel in the Air, Inc., founded by Ken Schmidt in 2004, is a Florida-based company specializing in representing landowners during negotiations with wireless carriers and cell tower companies for cell site leases. The company emerged from an industry characterized by high demand for cell towers, chaotic acquisition processes, and deceptive practices by some suppliers. With its headquarters in Baldwinsville, Leon County, Florida, Steel in the Air offers services that include advising on site acquisition, zoning, permitting, and valuation of cell towers, among others. Ken Schmidt leveraged his extensive knowledge from working with major telecom companies such as Nextel and T-Mobile to establish Steel in the Air. The company’s mission is rooted in economic empowerment and community strength for property owners, offering expertise derived from over 20,000 hours spent assisting more than 2,500 clients across the nation on lease negotiation matters. Through partnerships with firms like Steel Tree Partners and CityScape, Steel in the Air enhances its service offerings to include valuation support, strategic negotiation advice, and understanding of FCC regulations. In February 2010, they formed a joint venture with SiteXCell, an Australian firm geared towards supporting property owners during negotiations. As a registered Florida corporation (Fei Number: 20-4324208) filed on February 15, 2006, under company type DOMP, and led by President Milton K. Schmidt alongside Vice President Gypsy Mims, the organization prides itself on its ethical code of practice and unwavering loyalty to landowners’ interests in the competitive cellular lease landscape.
