Telecommunications

Telecommunications companies in the Atlanta metro area require robust infrastructure, room to innovate, and access to top-tier technical talent.

North Fulton drives the future of connectivity for global leaders in the telecom industry, including Sandy Springs-headquartered Cox Enterprises and its more than 3,000 employees. In 2024, the media company announced plans to expand beyond its 16-story facility with a new 600,000-square-foot office complex on its nearly 30-acre campus to house the technology department of its Cox Communications subsidiary and help with its growth and expansion of next-generation wireless voice and internet services.

Verizon Wireless and AT&T operate corporate offices in Alpharetta, GA as well, employing thousands. You’ll also find telecom suppliers throughout North Fulton like Telecom Specialties, managed services companies like PhoneOne.

If you’re a Georgia telecommunications company looking to scale business rapidly, North Fulton delivers with available sites and buildings, a facilitated permitting process, incentives for tech, infrastructure, and highly educated talent.

Approximately 85,000 talented tech workers commute to North Fulton every day, and regional planners project 114,000 additional jobs and 144,000 residents by 2050 — emphasizing the confidence companies have for telecommunications jobs in the Atlanta region.

In North Fulton, Gwinnett Technical College offers engineering, construction, manufacturing, and design programs (including one of Georgia’s only mechatronics programs) plus customized business training equipping workers with real-world technical and safety skills. Additionally, Georgia State University’s Perimeter College campus in Alpharetta provides engineering and computer science pathways foundational for network planning and systems engineers.

North Fulton provides a robust hub for telecom businesses that want to grow within metro Atlanta’s “Technology Corridor,” and our region offers a place where tech workers want to stay, thanks to premier mixed-use developments where residential living, dining, retail, and entertainment are all within walkable distance.

North Fulton’s infrastructure is built for speed and reliability, located at the intersection of two high-speed fiber networks, including a fiber-optic grid encased in cement along a stretch of GA-400. That reliability extends to power, too, backed by Georgia Power’s grid investment program, a multi-year initiative enhancing transmission lines, substations, and distribution systems to reduce outages. In 2025 alone, the company invested $64 billion in strengthening its facilities.

Space to grow is just as abundant for North Fulton Georgia telecommunications businesses. Roswell offers nearly 2 million square feet of total office space, Sandy Springs delivers more than 60 million square feet of office, retail, and commercial space, and Alpharetta houses over 40 major office buildings, accounting for 12% of metro Atlanta’s total inventory.

Meanwhile, if you’re an ambitious telecom business seeking a business-friendly environment that deliberately builds for the future, the state’s largest technology association, Technology Association of Georgia (TAG), offers real support for innovation and scalability.
