An Alabama Lightwave wireless tower

We built a network designed around Alabama's geography.

Alabama's spread-out towns and thick tree canopy are notoriously hard on fiber. Buried lines get cut. Aerial lines come down with the trees. And there's always a Cletus or a Leroy out there with a shovel.

So we built different. Wireless, tower-to-home. No buried cable. No aerial drop. Just a clean signal straight to your house. And it stays up.

Why Lightwave

No fine print. Just the deal.

Six things we promise. The same things every month.

Yes, we've used the bucket truck to save cats before. Even for an ISP, sometimes the internet can wait.

Pick a plan that fits.

Unlimited data. No contracts. Pricing depends on what's available at your address.

*Estimated capacity. Actual speeds depend on connection type. Symmetric speeds are available on microcell connections with line-of-sight to the tower. FCC Broadband Facts available for each plan.

Lightwave LINK

Eyes on the storm.

Severe weather is a fact of life in Alabama. So we put HD PTZ cameras on every Lightwave tower and stream them live, free, inside the Lightwave LINK app. Exclusive to Lightwave customers and to essential workers who can provide proof of agency affiliation.

Those same feeds power WBRC's long-form severe weather coverage in partnership with Chief Meteorologist Wes Wyatt. New cameras coming online with every tower we build.

Goal: the best severe weather coverage in the nation. From our towers to your phone, live.

Customer text message reading: Dude is bragging on this speed. Says it's faster than a lot of places he goes to with fiber.
Real text from a customer. April 2025.

Faster than fiber

Their IT department put it in writing.

This came in from a customer back in April 2025. Their IT team had been clocking real response times across multiple locations, and our wireless link beat fiber connections in markets way bigger than ours.

How? Two reasons.

We run LibreQOS on every tower. It shapes traffic in real time, kills bufferbloat, and keeps your Zoom call smooth even when the kids are pulling down a Minecraft mod pack in the next room.

And we peer at MGMIX in Montgomery, Alabama's own internet exchange. We sit on the same fabric as Meta, Hurricane Electric (one of the biggest backbones on the internet), the State of Alabama, Auburn Montgomery, and the city and county of Montgomery. Your packets get where they're going in one short hop, instead of being trombo'd through Atlanta or Dallas.

The result is a connection that feels more responsive than fiber, without fiber's problems in rural Alabama. No buried lines for a backhoe to find. No aerial drops to come down with the trees. No copper for thieves. No day-long outage because somebody didn't call 811.

Essential workers

We serve those who serve.

“There are people in this country
Who work hard every day
Not for fame or fortune do they strive
But the fruits of their labor
Are worth more than their pay
And it’s time a few of them were recognized.”

Alabama, “40 Hour Week”

Firefighters, cops, paramedics, dispatchers, soldiers, teachers, nurses. The people who keep this place going. The government signing their paychecks says there isn't enough to treat them better, while burning taxpayer money to overbuild fiber on top of fiber in places that already have three providers.

Lightwave is built to not need Uncle Sam. Sustainable on day one. Sustainable in year twenty. Without a dollar of taxpayer money keeping the lights on.

Efficient enough to pass real savings to the people who serve. With or without Washington's help. Every essential worker, on every plan, gets a discount every month. No expiration.
