In support of rural development, the 270 Peachtree data center will serve as GigSouth’s hub, accessing STI’s extensive dark fiber network.

GigSouth understands that not everyone can afford today’s prices for data center space, nor has the need for full cages or even full racks. We will be offering space from as little as a quarter-rack to complete, spacious cages for larger, multi-rack clients.” STI’s 270 Peachtree facility offers 5,400 square feet of colocation space powered by Southern Company’s highly reliable underground network service. The facility is connected to a dark fiber and conduit ring owned by STI that connects to local carrier hotels. > “We all know the extreme need for improving rural Georgia’s experience with broadband service since everyone depends on it these days,” continued Paulk. “Without highspeed access, rural families and businesses are at a huge disadvantage. That is why working with STI to develop the most efficient solution is key to success in rural markets. Our neutral fiber solution with a blended rate approach is the only offering in the marketplace to solve this problem." > > “We are excited to expand our partnership with GigSouth to provide colocation services inside our downtown Atlanta facility, along with our dark fiber services and fiber optic network,” stated STI Carrier Account Manager Michael Lamar. “Through our ongoing partnership, GigSouth is now one step closer to expanding reliable, high-speed connectivity options for underserved rural communities in the Southeast.” Learn more at [www.southern-telecom.com](http://www.southern-telecom.com).
