Fiber Optics Business, Oct 15, 2000

OnePoint Communications announced that it will build a telecommunications facility in Atlanta, GA, that will enable the company to offer a broad range of services within the region. OnePoint has acquired more than 4,000 square feet of building space in Atlanta for the technical facility.

The switching facility will be located at Lakeside Office Park, 5755 Glenridge Drive and will include OnePoint Communications deployment of the Lucent Pathstar switch and the Glenayre MVP voice processing system.

The new facility will enable OnePoint to offer area residents local and long-distance phone, high-speed Internet access, and video services via its own state-of-the-art, secure, proprietary network. The company expects to complete the telecommunications facility by the fourth quarter of 2000.

"We are pleased to be moving our own facilities platform in the Atlanta market, where we believe we can offer a new level of communications services," said Bill Wallace, president and CEO of OnePoint Communications. "Building our facility enables OnePoint to better address and meet the communication needs of a city that continues to experience tremendous residential growth year after year."
