NII Holdings, Inc. (formerly Nextel International) was an American holding company that, through its subsidiary Nextel Telecomunicações Ltda., provided mobile communications services under the Nextel brand in Latin America.[4] NII last operated 3G UMTS/HSDPA and 4G LTE networks in Brazil, and also operated an iDEN network there until its shutdown in 2018.

On December 18, 2019, NII Holdings completed the sale of its Brazilian operation, its last remaining subsidiary, to América Móvil.[5] On January 13, 2021 the company filed a Certificate of Dissolution (liquidation) with the State of Delaware.[5]

In 2012, for the third consecutive year, NII Holdings ranked in the Fortune 500 and Barron's 500 lists.[6][7] NII also has been named one of the best places to work among multinationals in Latin America by the Great Place to Work Institute.[8]

NII went through bankruptcy in 2014 and 2015.[9]
