Wireless Lateral
Extending broadband
Wireless Lateral® extends broadband telecommunication connections to buildings near, but not on high-speed fiber optic networks in metropolitan Atlanta.
If you are not directly located on a fiber ring, connecting to it can be logistically difficult and prohibitively expensive. Without the fiber, you may not have the throughput needed to store and access business information to remain competitive and in step with record management and regulations.
Reliable and cost-effective
Wireless Lateral can provide an easy-to-use, reliable and cost-effective means of reaching buildings throughout the metropolitan Atlanta area connecting to the dark fiber backbone network. You can use it to move and warehouse data on computers dispersed across many physical locations.
Backed by a Fortune 500 company

Getting to the fiber ring
With Sarbanes-Oxley record-keeping requirements increasing demand for data warehousing and redundancy, broadband access has become a requirement of doing business.
Although dark fiber may be nearby, local access to the last mile has been a vexing problem and major cost for network planners and carriers.
Southern Telecom, in conjunction with First Mile Communications, LLC can provide Wireless Lateral, a fixed broadband wireless solution throughout the metropolitan Atlanta with connection to our dark fiber network. Licensed spectrum options include 18, 24 and 38 GHz bands. Service is planned for other southeastern metropolitan areas.
