Teligent and U.S. RealTel Sign Major Building Access Agreement

VIENNA, Va., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Teligent, an integrated communications company, and U.S. RealTel, Inc., the nation's largest landlord of telecommunications sites, today announced a national agreement giving Teligent the option to serve customers in U.S. RealTel properties across the country. The two companies said they have initially identified 51 office properties that Teligent intends to serve.

The agreement with U.S. RealTel is a master building access agreement that covers more than 200 commercial properties across the country.

''Our agreement allows Teligent access to hundreds of business tenants in properties across the country,'' said Jordan E. Glazov, president of U.S. RealTel, Inc. (Nasdaq: USRT - news). ''The agreement gives Teligent access to additional properties so it can provide new, state-of-the-art communications services. For U.S. RealTel, this represents the continued growth of our Occupant Services Group established earlier this year. For our properties, it adds yet another value-added service for tenants.''

Roy Mehta, Teligent vice president for implementation and planning, said: ''This agreement reflects our strategy to bring small and medium-sized businesses a choice for a full range of communications services -- local, long distance, high-speed data and Internet -- over our own digital, fixed wireless networks. The diversity of U.S. RealTel's portfolio gives us a significant number of new opportunities, and it will enable Teligent to bring better communications services to more customers at lower prices.''

The deal is U.S. RealTel's latest agreement with a telecommunications company to provide access to the company's vast national telecommunications portfolio. Founded in 1997, U.S. RealTel has amassed the nation's largest telecom real estate portfolio controlled by one landlord.

Teligent will reach customers by installing a small antenna, more compact than a personal computer, on the customer's rooftop. The company will use existing or newly installed inside wiring to connect the antenna to customers' telephone equipment, personal computers, data networks or videoconferencing facilities.

About Teligent, Inc.

Based in Vienna, Va., Teligent, Inc. (Nasdaq: TGNT - news) is a full-service, integrated communications company that will offer small and medium-sized businesses local, long distance, high-speed data and Internet services over its own, digital wireless networks in 74 major metropolitan areas throughout the United States.
