"I'm about to go through the tunnel. I'll call you back if I lose your call".
How many times have you said that while traveling through the Wallace or Bankhead Tunnels in downtown Mobile? Broadband company Southern Light says the days of dropped calls in the tunnels are nearly over.
Southern Light says it is working with two major wireless carriers to improve wireless coverage by connecting the carriers' miniature antennas to Southern Light's fiber optic network.
Southern Light says it is in the early stages of construction and installation, and expects the days of dropped calls in the tunnels to end within 3 months.
