Southern Linc is known for providing highly reliable Push To Talk (PTT) communications. With built-in redundancies, power back-ups and security features designed to enable communications even under the worst weather conditions, Southern Linc has proven its reliability by withstanding the test of the most violent hurricanes, tornadoes and storms in recent history. Southern Linc's new CriticalLinc 4G LTE Advanced network will be made available to existing customers in 2018. This highly reliable network will have the capacity to serve the most crucial voice and data needs of State and local government, area businesses as well as those of its largest customer, Southern Company's electric utilities. The new 4G LTE Advanced network will provide network encryption over the air and Mission Critical Push To Talk (MCPTT) service from Motorola Solutions.
