Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Except for any historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contain certain "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1998. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors including, without limitation, economic, key
employee, vendor, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological
factors affecting the Company's growth, operations, markets, products, services,
licenses and other factors discussed in the Company's other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these
uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on such forward-looking statements.\
The forward-looking statements are included in, without limitation,
"Overview and Results of Operations" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources." The
Company, in the preparation of its financial statements, also makes various
estimates and assumptions that are forward-looking statements.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we refer to Teligent, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, as "Teligent," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our." Where
applicable, such references refer to Teligent's limited liability company
predecessor.
The following discussion should be read in connection with the attached
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and with the
Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year
ended December 31, 1998, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview and Results of Operations
Teligent offers small and medium-sized business customers local, long
distance, high-speed data and dedicated Internet services over our digital
SmartWave(tm) local networks. Our SmartWave(tm) local networks integrate
point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless technologies with traditional
broadband wireline technology. By integrating these technologies, we believe we
are able to increase local network efficiency and significantly lower network
costs. We are currently offering commercial service using our SmartWave(tm)
local networks in 29 of the nation's largest markets, comprising more than 467
cities and towns with a combined population of more than 85 million.
Our losses, as well as our negative operating cash flow have been
significant to date, and we expect both to continue until we develop a customer
base that will generate sufficient revenues to fund operating expenses. After we
initiate service in most of our of markets, we expect to have positive operating
margins over time by increasing the number of customers and selling them
additional capacity without significantly increasing related capital
expenditures, costs of building access rights and other operating costs. We
expect that operating and net losses and negative operating cash flow throughout
the remainder of 1999 will increase over 1998 as we complete our first full year
- 7 -
<PAGE>
of providing commercial service. Our ability to generate positive cash flow in
the future will depend in part on the extent of capital expenditures in current
and new markets, competition in our current market areas and any potential
adverse regulatory developments. Our operations will depend on various financing
sources to fund our growth as well as continued losses from operations. There
can be no assurance that such funding will be available, or available on terms
acceptable to us. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Year 2000
- ---------
An issue affecting Teligent and other companies is whether computer systems
and applications will recognize and process date data for the Year 2000 and
beyond. The "Year 2000 issue" arises primarily because many computer programs
were written using two, rather than four, digits to identify the applicable
year. As a result, date-sensitive computer programs may recognize a two-digit
code for a year in the next century as one related to this century. For example,
"00," entered in a date field for the Year 2000 may be interpreted as the Year
1900, resulting in system failures or miscalculations and disruption of
operations.
We use the term "Year 2000 ready" to describe the status of our systems,
applications, and services. To be considered Year 2000 ready, the system,
application, or service must undergo certain inventory, assessment,
testing/remediation, and/or implementation processes and, to the extent
applicable, be able to read, compute, store, process, display, and print
calendar dates falling before, on, and after December 31, 1999, without material
interruption or degradation of performance, provided that all other products
(for example, hardware, software, and firmware) used in combination with the
system, application, or service are Year 2000 ready.
Our first priority in our Year 2000 effort is to protect mission-critical
operations from material service interruptions that could occur as a result of
the Year 2000 transition. Teligent defines mission-critical operations as those
systems and applications that are vital to the provision of voice, video and
data switching, processing and transport services to our customers. To that end,
in September 1998, management presented a report to the Audit Committee
outlining issues and areas that management felt should be considered in
connection with our preparation of a Year 2000 plan. Around that same time, we
appointed a Year 2000 committee to lead the Company-wide effort to assess the
scope of our risks and ensure our applications will function properly. Our Year
2000 committee consists of senior executives and other key personnel charged
with the responsibility of directing Teligent's Year 2000 activities and
facilitating timely resolution of issues, obstacles and decisions relating to
the Year 2000 effort.
Our approach to addressing the Year 2000 challenge is consistent with
industry practice and is organized into four key phases:
* Inventory -- identify related data for any element within the Teligent
enterprise that may be impacted by the Year 2000 date change;
* Assessment -- analyze our Year 2000 exposure based on available
information and determine risks to Teligent's business continuity. Risk is a
factor of the likelihood of Year 2000 problems occurring and the impact of such
occurrences on the Company;
- 8 -
<PAGE>
* Test & Remediate -- validate the assessment, determine remediation
approach, and take remediation action if we deem it necessary and appropriate.
Remediation may entail repair, replacement, manual work-arounds, or, in some
cases, no action. In this phase we will develop mitigation and contingency plans
for mission critical aspects of our business; and
* Implement -- place mitigation and contingency plans into effect in order
of priority based on mission criticality, and, where necessary, validate
remediation action.
Based on our efforts to date, Teligent believes its mission-critical
operations are "Year 2000 ready." Our efforts have included the deployment of
specific Year 2000 ready systems, applications or services, or the development
of alternative business processes designed to ensure that mission-critical
operations satisfy our Year 2000 readiness criteria. Given the continued growth
and complexity of Teligent's network, our efforts will continue through and
beyond the third quarter of 1999, including additional testing, monitoring, and
planning. Teligent continues to rely on representations by third parties
relating to the Year 2000 readiness of their products. Teligent issues a
detailed status report relating to its progress which is made available to
customers and others through its web site -- http://www.teligent.com.
Generally, we contractually require our key vendors and suppliers to
guarantee in writing that they are Year 2000 ready. The majority of our
mission-critical systems have been acquired from third party vendors. We have
identified certain key vendors and contacted those vendors to discuss the
readiness of their respective products. These discussions are ongoing. In the
event that a vendor or supplier is not able to provide satisfactory Year 2000
assurances, we will monitor the vendor's progress in this area and, if
appropriate, may arrange to have available an alternate vendor or supplier who
can give such assurances. Similar to other telecommunications providers, our
products and services are also dependent upon other service and
telecommunications providers. With respect to those providers with which our
systems interface and exchange data, we are initiating or continuing discussions
regarding their Year 2000 readiness.
We have not determined the exact total costs and expenses we expect to
incur relating to preparation of our systems for the Year 2000. The principal
cost identified to date is the Company's retention of external consultants
together with the cost of internal resources, both dedicated to Year 2000
program management, inventory, and assessment efforts, which costs are estimated
to be less than $5 million. Based on current assessments and compliance plans,
we do not expect that the Year 2000 issue, including the cost of making our
mission critical systems and applications Year 2000 ready, will have a material
adverse effect on our business operations, consolidated financial condition,
cash flows and results of operations.
Despite our efforts to address the Year 2000 impact on operations, we may
not be able to fully identify such impact or resolve it without disruption to
our business and without incurring significant expense. If appropriate
modifications are not made on a timely basis by our vendors or by other
providers on which we depend, or if our actual costs or timing for our Year 2000
readiness differ materially from our present estimates, Teligent's operations
and financial results could be significantly adversely affected. In particular,
there can be no assurance that the systems of other parties upon which our
business relies will be ready on a timely basis.
- 9 -
<PAGE>
Our contingency plans are designed to minimize the disruptions or other
adverse effects resulting from Year 2000 incompatibilities with respect to
mission-critical systems. Our contingency plans contemplate an assessment of all
our critical internal information technology systems and our internal
operational systems that use computer-based controls. In addition, we are
assessing any critical disruptions due to Year 2000-related failures that are
external to Teligent. These processes will begin January 1, 2000, and will
continue as long as circumstances require.
Our contingency plans include the creation of teams that will be prepared
to respond immediately and as necessary to critical Year 2000 problems as soon
as they become known. The composition of teams that are assigned to deal with
such problems will vary according to the nature, significance, and location of
the problem.
Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1998
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We generated revenue from communications services of approximately $4.0
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared with approximately
$143,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as Teligent continued to grow
its customer base and expand into new markets during the second quarter of 1999.
Cost of services, consisting primarily of personnel-related costs,
telecommunications expenses, and site rent and site acquisition expenses related
to network operations, was approximately $43.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999, compared with approximately $17.9 million for the
corresponding period in 1998. Service costs will increase significantly over
1998 throughout the remainder of 1999 as we expand our customer base and
implement our growth strategy.
Sales, general and administrative expenses, consisting primarily of
headcount-related costs, were approximately $49.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999, compared with approximately $25 million for the
corresponding period in 1998.
Stock-based and other noncash compensation expense was approximately $7.9
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared with approximately
$8.2 million for the corresponding period in 1998. Depreciation and amortization
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased to approximately $10.1
million, compared with approximately $2.1 million for the corresponding period
in 1998, due primarily to higher capital expenditures. Depreciation expense will
increase in future quarters as we continue to add fixed assets.
Interest and other income for the three months ended June 30, 1999, was
approximately $4.2 million, compared with approximately $10.0 for the
corresponding period in 1998. This decrease was primarily the result of interest
earned on decreased levels of cash and investments in 1999 compared to 1998.
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was approximately
$19.9 million compared with approximately $16.1 million for the corresponding
period in 1998. This increase was due to amortization of credit facility fees
and expenses in 1999.
- 10 -
<PAGE>
Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1998
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
We generated revenue from communications services of approximately $5.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared with approximately
$241,000 for the corresponding period in 1998.
Cost of services, consisting primarily of personnel-related costs,
telecommunications expenses, and site rent and site acquisition expenses related
to network operations, was approximately $78.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, compared with approximately $25.3 million for the corresponding
period in 1998. This increase reflects the Company's growth and development of
its network operations.
Sales, general and administrative expenses, consisting primarily of
headcount-related costs, were approximately $95.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, compared with approximately $42.9 million for the
corresponding period in 1998.
Stock-based and other noncash compensation expense was approximately $15.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared with approximately
$16.1 million for the corresponding period in 1998. Depreciation and
amortization for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased to approximately
$17.5 million, compared with approximately $3.7 million for the corresponding
period in 1998.
Interest and other income for the six months ended June 30, 1999, was
approximately $9.4 million, as compared with approximately $18.1 for the
corresponding period in 1998, due to interest earned on decreased levels of cash
and investments in 1999 compared to 1998.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was approximately
$39.7 million compared with approximately $28.0 million for the corresponding
period in 1998. This increase was due to amortization of credit facility fees
and expenses in 1999 and recognizing interest expense on the 11 1/2% Series B
Discount Notes due 2008, issued in February 1998.
The Company expects to generate significant operating and net losses for
the next several years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Shelf Registration Statement
- ----------------------------
In June 1999, we filed a Universal Shelf Registration Statement (the
"Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission to raise
up to $1 billion by offering securities that may be comprised of any combination
of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities or depositary shares. The
Registration Statement, which was declared effective on July 22, 1999, permits
us to periodically offer such securities in amounts, prices, and terms to be
determined when the securities are issued.
We plan to use the net proceeds of any offering of these securities for
working capital, capital expenditures, operating losses and other general
corporate purposes in connection with the implementation of our business plan,
- 11 -
<PAGE>
including acquisitions. Two million shares of common stock registered under the
Registration Statement may be offered by a selling shareholder. We will not
receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock that may be offered by the
selling shareholder.
Credit Facility
- ---------------
On July 2, 1998, we entered into a credit agreement (the "Bank Credit
Agreement") providing for credit facilities up to an aggregate of $800 million
(the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility will primarily be used for the
purchase of telecommunications equipment, software and services and is also
available for working capital and general corporate purposes. Availability of
funds under the Credit Facility is subject to certain conditions as defined in
the Bank Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 1999, we had a $200 million
outstanding loan balance under the Credit Facility. We may make additional
draw-downs if required later in the year.
Historical Cash Flows
- ---------------------
At June 30, 1999, we had working capital of approximately $249.1 million
and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $386.1 million,
compared to working capital of approximately $302.4 million and cash of
approximately $416.2 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease in working
capital is primarily a result of lower cash levels and an increase in accounts
payable to vendors as we implement our growth strategy. We will need a
significant amount of cash to build our networks, market our services and cover
operating expenditures. Although we anticipate our existing cash and cash
equivalents on hand together with the Credit Facility will provide enough money
to carry out our current business plan into the year 2000, our management
continually evaluates potential financing options. The Company also expects that
current and future expansion and acquisitions will be financed from funds
generated from operations, borrowings under the Credit Facility, financing under
the Registration Statement and potential additional financings.
Our total assets increased from approximately $763.4 million as of December
31, 1998 to approximately $799.7 million at June 30, 1999, as lower cash and
cash equivalents levels were offset by higher property and equipment balances.
Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, comprised approximately
$256.5 million at June 30, 1999 compared to approximately $180.7 million at
December 31, 1998.
We used cash in operations of approximately $183.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, due primarily to the operating loss for the period
reduced by stock-based and other noncash compensation, depreciation and
amortization, and other charges. For the same period in 1998, we used cash in
operations of approximately $54 million, due primarily to the operating loss for
the period offset primarily by stock-based and other noncash compensation.
We used cash in investing activities of approximately $50.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 relating primarily to the purchase of property
and equipment. For the same period in 1998, we used approximately $27.1 million
in investing activities relating primarily to the purchase of property and
equipment.
- 12 -
<PAGE>
Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June
30, 1999 were approximately $203.5 million, consisting primarily of proceeds
from a $200 million draw-down of our existing credit facility in the second
quarter of 1999 and the exercise of common stock options. For the same period in
1998, cash flows from financing activities were approximately $243.2 million
consisting primarily of net proceeds from the offering of the 111/2% Series B
Discount Notes, after costs of approximately $7.6 million.

On June 1, 1999, Liberty Media Corporation and The Associated Group, Inc.
("Associated") announced that they had signed a definitive merger agreement
pursuant to which Liberty Media will acquire Associated in a stock-for-stock
merger (the "Associated Acquisition"). Liberty Media Corporation, which holds
most of the assets included in the Liberty Media Group, is an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of AT&T Corp.; however, the assets and businesses of Liberty
Media Group are operated by its current management, which is different from that
of AT&T.
Upon completion of the Associated Acquisition, Liberty Media would acquire
through its ownership of Associated, Associated's interest in Teligent,
representing approximately 41% (as of June 1, 1999) of the total issued and
outstanding shares of Teligent common stock as of June 1, 1999. Upon
consummation of the Associated Acquisition, Telcom DTS Investors, L.L.C.
("Telcom"), the owner of all of the Series B-2 common stock, would, depending
upon Telcom's level of stock ownership and control of Telcom by certain
individuals at that time, have the right pursuant to an agreement with
Associated to require Associated to convert all of its Series B-1 common stock
into Class A common stock and to cause one of the Series B-1 Directors
designated by Associated to resign from Teligent's board of directors so that
the Series B-1 Directors will no longer constitute a majority of the Teligent
directors. Associated has further agreed with Telcom that if Associated is
required to convert its Series B-1 common stock, then it will cause its
designees on Teligent's board of directors to cause Teligent's board of
directors to convene a meeting of Teligent's stockholders.
The Associated Acquisition merger agreement provides that, immediately
prior to the effective date of the Associated Acquisition, Associated will
replace three (or such lesser number that Liberty may designate) of the existing
Series B-1 Directors with designees of Liberty Media. However, upon a conversion
of all of the Series B-1 common stock into Class A common stock, there will be
no shares of Series B-1 common stock outstanding. As a result, if all of the
Series B-1 shares are so converted, neither Associated nor Liberty will have the
special right currently held by Associated under Teligent's certificate of
incorporation to elect directors of Teligent (except for the right to vote
generally for Teligent directors together with other holders of Teligent common
stock).
Pursuant to the terms of the Associated Acquisition, Associated has agreed
with certain limited exceptions, not to sell any of its Teligent common stock or
to vote or execute a written consent or proxy with respect to its Teligent
common stock in favor of any acquisition of a 25% or greater equity interest in
Teligent. The Associated Acquisition merger agreement does not prohibit the
Series B-1 Directors from properly discharging their fiduciary duties in their
capacity as directors of Teligent.
The Associated Acquisition is subject to the approval of the stockholders
of Associated, clearance from various governmental authorities, including the
Federal Communications Commission, and satisfaction of the other conditions set
forth in the merger agreement. According to Associated, depending upon the
timing of the foregoing, the Associated Acquisition is currently expected to
close in early 2000.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have certain exposure to financial market risks, including changes in
interest rates and other relevant market prices. Specifically, a sustained
increase or decrease in interest rates would generally affect interest costs
relating to our Credit Facility. At June 30, 1999, we had an outstanding loan
balance of $200 million under the Credit Facility, which incurs interest at a
floating rate tied to prevailing LIBOR rates or aternate base rates. The
oustanding loan balance under the Credit Facility represents approximately 25%
of the Company's outstanding long-term debt.
Changes in interest rates do not have a direct impact on interest expense
relating to the Company's remaining fixed rate long-term debt, although the fair
market value of the our fixed rate debt is sensitive to changes in interest
rates. If market rates declined, our interest payments could exceed those based
on the current market rate. We currently do not use interest rate derivative
instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate changes, but may do so in
the future.

TELIGENT REPORTS SECOND QUARTER REVENUE OF $4M; RAISES 1999 TARGET FOR
CUSTOMER BUILDINGS TO 6,000
VIENNA, VA., August 11, 1999 - Teligent, an integrated communications company,
today reported second quarter revenue of $4 million, as the company continues to
launch local, long distance and high-speed Internet service in major markets
across the country. Revenue for the three months ending June 30 is more than
two-and-a-half times the $1.5 million in revenue reported for the first quarter,
and four times the $1 million posted for all of 1998.
Teligent also announced that it has raised its year-end target for securing
access rights to customer buildings by 20 percent, from 5,000 to 6,000
buildings. The increased goal reflects the company's continuing success in
demonstrating the competitive advantages of its digital SmartWave(TM) local
communications networks to commercial building owners.
During the second quarter, Teligent continued the rapid deployment of its
SmartWave(TM) local networks. In the three months ending June 30, the company
nearly doubled the number of "on-net" customer buildings, raising the total to
1,520; increased its customer base by more than 80 percent, to 3,534; and
expanded the number of installed customer lines by more than 100 percent, to
37,526. During the quarter, the company grew to 2,237 employees, up from 1,866
on March 31.
"By every measure, we had an excellent second quarter," said Teligent
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Alex J. Mandl. "We dramatically increased
our revenue, and we significantly improved our numbers for `on-net' buildings,
customers and customer lines.
"We also are making great progress in securing access rights to customer
buildings," Mandl added. "At the end of the second quarter, we had signed leases
or options for 4,252 customer buildings. That's up 37 percent from the total at
the end of the first quarter. Because of that excellent performance, we've
raised our target for the number of buildings we expect to have under lease or
option by the end of the year to 6,000."

During the second quarter, Teligent launched its local, long distance and
high-speed Internet service in two additional markets - Seattle and Cleveland -
bringing to 28 the total number of markets in service. Those 28 markets include
the nation's largest business centers and comprise more than 460 cities and
towns with a combined population of more than 83 million. The company launched
its 29th market, Phoenix, on July 28. By year-end, the company expects to offer
service in 40 markets with a combined population of more than 100 million.
Reflecting the continued build-out of its local networks, Teligent reported a
net loss of $123 million for the quarter, compared to a loss of $108 million for
the first quarter. Capital expenditures were $35 million. As of June 30, the
company reported available cash and cash equivalents of $386 million, including
$200 million received from Teligent's existing bank credit facility.
"Our strong revenue performance during the quarter was fueled by significant
growth in revenue per customer and revenue per line," said Senior Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer Abraham L. Morris. "As we move forward, we expect to
achieve even better financial and operating results as we continue to reduce the
interval between closing the sale and installing the customer."
In addition to significantly increasing its customer base, "on-net" customer
buildings and customer lines, Teligent in the second quarter recorded an 87
percent increase in sales. To support this effort the company increased its
sales force by 30 percent, to 433, as of June 30, and heightened the efficiency
of its sales representatives, said President and Chief Operating Officer Kirby
G. Pickle, Jr.
"We recorded a 30 percent increase in sales dollars per rep per month," Pickle
said. "We anticipate that figure will continue to improve, enabling us to meet
our very aggressive sales and revenue targets for 1999."
During the second quarter, Teligent also expanded its portfolio of data
services, Pickle said. In June, Teligent announced the introduction of
SmartWave(TM) DSL - a new, lower-cost, high-speed data service that enables
small and mid-sized businesses to "step up from dial up" Internet access to a
robust, "industrial strength," service for as little as $149 a month.
"The initial response clearly shows that our customers believe that
SmartWave(TM) DSL is a terrific way to jump-start their entry into e-commerce,"
Pickle said. "The majority of SmartWave(TM) DSL customers are ordering the
service at fully synchronous speeds of up to 384 kilobits per second, giving
their businesses a significant advantage over companies that still rely on
dial-up Internet access at 56 kilobits per second. And when our customers are
ready, SmartWave(TM) DSL can take them all the way up to T-1 speeds."
In the second half of 1999, Teligent will continue to expand its position in the
data market, Pickle said, by further developing its capabilities as an Internet
services provider, or ISP. Teligent currently contracts with an outside vendor
for ISP services.

"From day one at Teligent, we've known that the communications world was rapidly
shifting from voice to data," Pickle said. "We've positioned Teligent to quickly
develop its own ISP infrastructure by deploying ATM switches and advanced data
routers in each of the 19 broadband switching centers that we've built to date.
These centers, which serve all 29 of the markets that we've launched so far,
also include Nortel DMS voice switches, enabling Teligent to seamlessly handle
both voice and data traffic.
"As a facilities-based ISP, Teligent will be able to deliver both high-speed
access and premier services, including advanced web-hosting and e-commerce
solutions for our customers. And we'll be able to do it at the lowest possible
cost," Pickle added. "More importantly, developing our own ISP capability will
enable us to offer our customers the very latest in next-generation services,
including applications hosting, high-quality IP telephony and e-commerce
support."
Teligent expects to install a significant portion of its ISP facilities by the
end of this year, and begin rolling out advanced Internet applications over
these facilities next year, Pickle said.
In the second quarter, Teligent continued to speed the installation of fixed
wireless and wireline equipment in customer buildings. The number of `on-net'
customer buildings with installed point-to-multipoint and point-to-point
installations increased from 471 to 737, and wireline installations increased
from 328 to 783.
As of June 30, Teligent had put in place nearly 70 fixed wireless base stations.
Teligent also began installation of next generation software in its
point-to-multipoint installations during the quarter, increasing the efficiency
of network management, shortening maintenance intervals and further improving
point-to-multipoint reliability, Pickle said.
Integrating advanced point-to-multipoint and point-to-point microwave radio
equipment with traditional broadband wireline technology, Teligent SmartWave(TM)
networks offer customers the advantages of lower costs and greater flexibility.
Teligent delivers its wireless service by installing small antennas on roofs of
customer buildings. When a customer picks up a telephone, accesses the Internet
or activates a videoconference, the signal travels over inside wiring to
Teligent's indoor electronics cabinet and from there to the rooftop antenna. The
antenna then relays the voice, data or video signals, which are carried over an
ATM platform, to a Teligent base station antenna.
The base station gathers signals from a cluster of surrounding customer
buildings, aggregates the signals and then routes them to a Teligent broadband
switching center. At the switching center, Teligent uses ATM switches and data
routers along with Nortel DMS switches to hand off the traffic to other networks
- - the public circuit-switched voice network, the packet-switched Internet, and
private data networks.
