San Jose's NextG Networks has filed for a $150M IPO. It plans to trade on the Nasdaq under ticker symbol NXTG. Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers are co-lead underwriters.

NextG sells small, distributed antennae linked by fiber networks that are designed to fill the gaps left by very large cellphone towers. The idea is to gain coverage in areas while not pissing off residents with eyesore towers.
