Bringing the datacenter to you
Your front door, wired into the network core.
Lightwave ENTERPRISE turns your building into an extension of the datacenter.
Lightwave ENTERPRISE is build-to-suit dedicated internet access (DIA). A symmetric circuit, provisioned only for your business, sized to the workload. 100x100, 500x500, 1000x1000, or higher when the topology supports it. No oversubscription. No neighbor effect. Static IPs in writing. A real SLA on the contract.
The other end of that circuit lands at our network core in the RSA Dexter Avenue Datacenter in downtown Montgomery. Fewer hops, a cleaner path to the cloud, and traffic that touches Alabama infrastructure before it touches anyone else's.
Start a site surveyThree operations. One network designed for all of them.
Lightwave ENTERPRISE is built around the businesses that can't afford to be down. Cloud-first operations, rural and remote campuses, and multi-site networks that need real redundancy.
Cloud-first operations
When the internet is the business.
Your stack lives in the cloud. ERP, EHR, CAD, line-of-business apps. A flaky circuit costs real money by the minute, and the carrier's first move is a 48-hour ticket and a script from another time zone.
A dedicated, symmetric circuit built only for you. Defined uptime in writing. Real-time monitoring from our Alabama NOC. When something moves, an engineer is on it before your phone rings.
Recommended 1G symmetric DIA, SLA-backedRural and remote sites
The big carriers said it didn't pencil out.
Mill, plant, mine, dealership, clinic, agribusiness, county office. The campus isn't on a fiber map and won't be in this decade. The cable company quoted seven figures, then ghosted.
Build-to-suit, end of story. If we have a tower nearby, we shoot to your building. If we don't, we work with a 3rd-party tower owner or fiber owner to get a clean path. We grew up out here. We know the area, and we know how to get there.
Recommended Site survey to scope the buildMulti-site and redundancy
One circuit isn't a network. Two is.
Headquarters, branches, retail floors, warehouses. One outage at the wrong node and the whole map goes red. The incumbent's idea of redundancy is selling you two of their own circuits down the same duct.
Diverse paths, diverse media, diverse providers when it matters. We design the topology, light the circuits, and hand you a network you can trust on the worst day of the year.
Recommended Diverse-path DIA with failover
Statewide reach
No spot is too rural. We grew up out here.
If we don't already have a tower near you, we build one. If we can't build, we partner with a tower owner, a fiber owner, or both.
The big carriers wrote off rural Alabama a long time ago. We grew up out here. We know the backroads, we know which water tanks have line of sight to which ridges, and we know which tower owners will let us mount steel and which won't.
Where we already have a network, we extend it. Where we don't, we build. We partner with third-party tower owners and fiber owners across the Southeast to get a clean, reliable path from your building to our core. Microwave, fiber, or a mix, whatever the address actually needs.
No spot is too rural. If there's a way to get a circuit there, we'll find it.
Where we already operateMulti-path engineering
One IP block. Multiple media. Zero excuses.
For sites that can't go dark, we build circuits that combine our own microwave backhaul, fiber, LEO satellite (Starlink), and 5G/LTE into one converged, IP-stable connection. If one path drops, the others carry the load. Your routes, your IPs, your sessions, all preserved.
Microwave backhaul
Dedicated point-to-point microwave links sized to your circuit. Sub-millisecond paths between buildings, no fiber pull required.
Dedicated fiber
We extend fiber from our routes or partner footprints, or pull new strands when the math works. Lit, dark, or wave services on request.
LEO satellite (Starlink)
Managed Starlink as a diverse path on the same circuit. We aggregate, monitor, and failover at the network layer, not the desktop.
5G/LTE cellular
Multi-carrier cellular as a third path on critical builds. Sub-second cutovers, no IP renegotiation, no application teardown.
The trick is the routing. A multi-path circuit only matters if the application doesn't notice the failover. We tunnel every path back to our Montgomery core, keep your assigned IPs and ASN consistent across all of them, and steer traffic in real time based on path health. To your firewall, your VPN, and your cloud, it looks like one rock-solid connection.
Case study
The night the fiber didn't show up.
Birmingham's brand-new Coca-Cola Amphitheater was preparing to host Matt Rife for the venue's debut show. The scheduled fiber install hit unforeseen delays and wasn't going to be lit in time. Days from opening night. No margin.
We moved. We identified an existing DIA circuit with capacity to spare at a nearby downtown high-rise and used it as the foundation. We built a bonded 6GHz and 5GHz point-to-point microwave link from that building to the amphitheater rooftop, then extended a secure VPN tunnel back to our Montgomery network core and onto MGMIX. Full IP space consistency, full routing control. The connection behaved like a proper enterprise circuit, not a workaround.
Real-world testing burst 700 Mbps to public speed test servers. The internet went live just in time. The show didn't miss a beat.

Four things on every Lightwave ENTERPRISE circuit. No add-on fees, no asterisks.
Symmetric DIA up to 10G, SLA-backed
Dedicated, symmetric capacity. 100M, 500M, 1G, 10G, or higher where the topology supports it. Written SLA covering uptime, response time, and MTTR, signed by us and enforceable by you.
Static IPs, BGP on request
A /29 of public IPv4 ships standard. Larger blocks available. BGP with your own ASN is supported for customers running multi-homed networks.
MGMIX peering
Your circuit terminates onto Alabama's own internet exchange. One short hop to major content and cloud networks. Less latency, fewer hops, more local control.
24/7 Alabama NOC
Real engineers, based in Alabama, watching your circuit around the clock. Proactive monitoring on every link. When something moves, we call you, not the other way around.
Routed Alabama-first
Your packets touch Alabama soil before they touch Atlanta's.
Most enterprise circuits in the Southeast hub on Atlanta or Dallas. That means your packets leave your building, leave your state, and ride somebody else's backbone for a couple hundred miles before they get to the cloud service or the branch office across town.
We don't route that way. Our network core lives at the RSA Dexter Avenue Datacenter in downtown Montgomery, the same building that anchors MGMIX, Alabama's first internet exchange. We peer there directly, on the same fabric as Meta, Hurricane Electric, the City of Montgomery, the County of Montgomery, the State of Alabama, and Auburn University Montgomery.
For an Alabama business calling an Alabama bank or hitting an Alabama-hosted cloud node, that's one short hop instead of a trip through Atlanta. For traffic to the big content networks, it's a direct peering session instead of a transit ride. Lower latency. Cleaner paths. Real local control.
Buying Lightwave ENTERPRISE is an investment in Alabama's own internet infrastructure.
Big-city peering. Small-town accountability.
Our network, on the public record
AS395673. Two upstreams. One internet exchange.
Alabama Lightwave is its own autonomous system. We run BGP, originate our own prefixes, and ride upstream transit through two independent national carriers, plus direct peering at MGMIX. That's three diverse paths off our network for every customer circuit.

Montgomery Internet Exchange
Direct peering
Direct peering into Alabama's own IX. Local-to-local traffic skips Atlanta and Dallas entirely.
Two independent upstream carriers means no single-carrier outage takes your circuit down. Combined with direct MGMIX peering, your traffic has multiple ways off our network on its way to anywhere on the public internet.
Backed by 24/7 local support
When the internet is the business, downtime isn't a ticket. It's an emergency.
When your operation depends on a circuit, "we'll get back to you in 48 hours" isn't an answer. Lightwave ENTERPRISE comes with around-the-clock support out of our Alabama network operations center. Real engineers, no scripts, no overseas handoffs.
Proactive monitoring runs on every circuit we deliver. If a link flaps, a path degrades, or a latency floor moves the wrong direction, we know before you do, and a human is already on it.
When you call, an American answers. Usually somebody who knows your circuit, your topology, and your name.

Service is not available at all addresses within the states listed above. A site survey determines whether a build is possible at your location, what construction is required, and what it will take to turn up.
How to get connected.
Four steps from the first email to a live circuit. Honest timeline, transparent costs, no mystery line items.
Tell us where
Send the address, the operation, and what the network needs to carry. The order form below or a phone call both work.
Site survey
We evaluate the towers, the fiber, the rooftops, the line-of-sight. We come back with what's possible, on what timeline, and what it will cost.
Build the path
Standalone build, third-party partner network, or a hybrid. Microwave, fiber, or both. We sign, schedule, and start.
Turn up the circuit
Provision, test, hand off. Your circuit goes live with monitoring active and a phone number that gets answered by the engineer on shift.
Enterprise questions, answered straight.
What does dedicated internet access (DIA) mean here?
A symmetric circuit built and provisioned only for your business. The bandwidth on the contract is the bandwidth you get, all day, every day. No oversubscription, no neighbor effect, no slowdown at 7pm when the block lights up.
What speeds are available?
Standard turn-up options are 100M, 500M, 1G, and 10G symmetric (100x100, 500x500, 1000x1000, 10G x 10G). Higher capacities are available where the topology supports it. Tell us the requirement, we'll scope the build.
Will you extend fiber to my building?
Yes, when fiber is the right answer for your address. We extend fiber from existing routes, partner with third-party fiber owners when their footprint gets us closer, and pull new fiber where it makes sense. The site survey tells us what the right medium is.
Will you build a new tower if you have to?
Yes. If there's no existing tower, water tank, rooftop, or fiber path that gets us to your building, we'll build the steel. Tower construction is on the table when the business case supports it. We do it ourselves, we don't wait on a grant cycle to start.
Can you build a circuit that mixes microwave, fiber, Starlink, and 5G?
Yes. For high-reliability sites, we design multi-path circuits that combine our microwave backhaul, fiber, Starlink, and 5G/LTE, all converged into a single managed circuit that preserves your IP space and routing across every failover. If one path drops, the others carry the load and your sessions stay up. One circuit, multiple media, one IP block.
Do you offer BGP with customer ASNs?
Yes. We run BGP with customers who want it, advertise your own prefixes, support transit and multi-homing scenarios, and hand off via eBGP. Our network is AS395673, originating 23.190.168.0/24 (IPv4) and 2602:f815::/40 (IPv6), with upstream transit from Uniti Fiber (AS13760) and GIGSOUTH (AS2728) plus direct peering at MGMIX.
Is there a service-level agreement?
Yes. Lightwave ENTERPRISE ships with a written SLA covering uptime targets, response time, and mean time to repair. Terms are spelled out per circuit at signing, not buried.
Do you serve rural locations the big carriers won't?
Frequently. That's most of our enterprise pipeline. If we don't already cover the spot, we evaluate towers, fiber assets, microwave paths, and partner networks in the area, and we figure out how to get a circuit there. A site survey tells us what's possible.
Where do you serve?
Alabama is home. We deliver Lightwave ENTERPRISE across Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Mississippi on a build-to-suit basis. Availability is address-by-address and confirmed by site survey.
How is the circuit routed once it leaves my building?
Our network core sits at the RSA Dexter Avenue Datacenter in downtown Montgomery. From there, traffic peers directly into MGMIX (Alabama's own internet exchange) and rides upstream transit through Uniti Fiber and GIGSOUTH for the global internet. Less latency to Alabama destinations, redundant transit out, no single point of failure.
What's MGMIX and why does it matter?
The Montgomery Internet Exchange, established 2016, is Alabama's first internet exchange point and one of only four in the Southeast. Members peer directly with major content and cloud networks, so traffic to those destinations takes a shorter, more reliable path. We peer there. Most carriers out here don't.
Are static IPs included?
Yes. Every Lightwave ENTERPRISE circuit ships with static IPv4 addresses. A /29 is standard, larger blocks available, IPv6 is supported natively, and BGP with your own ASN is fully supported.
What does support look like?
24/7, based in Alabama. Real engineers, not a script. Proactive monitoring on every circuit. When the network notices a problem, we're usually on the phone with you before you reach for it.
How long does a build take?
Depends on what's at the address. If we already have tower coverage or fiber within reach, turn-up is a few weeks. New construction, new tower work, or third-party fiber pulls run longer. When the deadline is hard, we move fast (ask us about the Coca-Cola Amphitheater build). We give a real timeline after the site survey, not a guess on the call.
Are there construction costs?
Sometimes. Build-to-suit means we're putting steel in the air or fiber in the ground specifically for you, and we'll be transparent about what that costs before you sign anything. Nothing surprises you on invoice day.
Can we add diverse redundancy?
Yes. We design multi-circuit, multi-path topologies for customers who need failover, including diverse media (microwave + fiber + LEO + cellular), diverse paths, and diverse providers. Where it makes sense, we partner with other regional carriers to build true provider diversity under one managed contract.
