Telecommunications

The Mississippi Gulf Coast is home to some of the world’s leading technology companies, offering a wide array of telecommunication services that are essential for a company to thrive.

Among the telecommunication services offered are T-carriers, high-speed digital networks operating anywhere from 2 mbps to 274 mbps. Ideal for medium to large companies, this type of network is a cost-effective way of linking both voice and data, both inter-office and intra-office. AT&T is one of the leading companies that offers high-speed transfer services like the T-carriers as well as Point-to-Point (PPP) and Point-to-Point over Ethernet (PPPoE) services.

An alternative to T-carriers is broadband Internet access, which includes cable, DSL, Wi-Fi, and WiMAX. Cable One offers digital television and broadband Internet access through a cable modem. Bellsouth owns most of the Wireless Communication Service bands and offers Fast Access Internet service, including wireless broadband Internet access, Wi-Fi and WiMAX.

Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows a voice call to be made using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line. Users can travel all over the world and still be able to make and receive phone calls with an Internet connection. Vonage is one of the top nine leading providers of VoIP service and is available in South Mississippi. They offer a variety of products including Wi-Fi enabled phones that can be used with any of the T-Mobile and Cisco Wi-Fi spots.
