Gregg Logan
Logan, a native of Bruce, is truly a wireless and broadband telecommunications pioneer. After attending the University of Mississippi, he joined C Spire’s affiliate company, Franklin Telephone Company, as an equipment installer and technician in 1982. Logan has risen through the ranks and has accomplished several telecommunications milestones throughout the years including the first fiber optic interconnection from an independent telephone company in Mississippi. In 1988, Logan was one of a team of nine charter C Spire (formerly Cellular South) employees who launched the first cellular wireless network on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and also brought wireless service for the first time to many other parts of Mississippi.
During his tenure, Logan has served in various leadership positions for Telapex, Inc., the parent company of C Spire, and its affiliates, primarily focused on building out rural wireless markets and directing the development of the company’s fiber optic broadband network that consists of more than 4,000 miles of fiber optic cable throughout Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana and Florida. C Spire’s network provides wireless and Internet telecommunication services to its customers, other carriers, Internet Service Providers, universities, government agencies, hospitals and businesses.
Logan has now turned his focus towards developing the network to support business-class dedicated Internet access and Internet Protocol (IP) phone services and the company’s Fiber to the Home initiative that will provide 100 times faster, next-generation Internet access and related digital HD TV, phone and home automation services to ten initial cities and towns throughout Mississippi.
