Structured cabling and low-voltage installation in Atlanta
Cablify installs network cabling, fiber, security cameras, access control and Wi-Fi across metro Atlanta, from Midtown, Buckhead and Perimeter Center to Alpharetta, Marietta and the warehouses around Hartsfield-Jackson.

Georgia licenses low-voltage contractors
Georgia has its own low-voltage contractor license, issued statewide by the Construction Industry Licensing Board. It covers systems at 50 volts or less, plus power-limited Class 2 and Class 3 circuits above that, and cities cannot add licensing of their own.
General systems include LAN wiring, intercom, sound, antennas and low-voltage lighting. The law’s definition of an alarm system includes fire detection, and line-voltage power needs a licensed electrical contractor.
Georgia rewrote the licensing law effective July 1, 2026, adding documented experience hours, sworn affidavits and fingerprint background checks for new applicants.
City of Atlanta permits
The City of Atlanta issues a Low Voltage System permit. Only a Georgia-licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor, or the property owner, can apply, and each licensee can pull permits only in its own trade.
The application states the total square footage of the work, and the fee scales with it. Suburban cities and counties run their own permit desks, and we confirm each one when we scope the job.
A data center market second only to Northern Virginia
CBRE ranked Atlanta second in the U.S. for data center absorption in 2025. Campuses include QTS in Fayetteville, where Microsoft’s Fairwater AI site began operating in 2025, and Google in Douglas County since 2007.
For colocation tenants we build out the cage: racks, overhead ladder rack, fiber trunks to the meet-me room handoff and patch fields labeled to the operator’s standard.
- Inventory, end of 2025
- 1,459.2 MW, up 458.8 MW in a year
- Net absorption in 2025
- 456 MW
- Vacancy
- 2%
- Under construction
- 2,076 MW
Across metro Atlanta
Most of the region’s offices sit along GA-400 and I-285, with logistics to the south around the airport.
| Area | What is there | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| Midtown and Tech Square | Offices, Georgia Tech, and more than 175 startups and corporate innovation centers in Tech Square | 24 million sq ft of office |
| Buckhead | Class A towers along Peachtree Road | About 20 million sq ft of office |
| Perimeter Center | Corporate headquarters including Inspire Brands, GoTo Foods and Zaxby’s, plus AIG and TriNet hubs | Led metro office leasing in 2024 |
| Alpharetta and GA-400 | Technology companies and corporate campuses around North Point Parkway and Windward | Campus networks |
| Cumberland and The Battery | Mixed-use development around Truist Park, with offices for Comcast and TKE | 2.3 million sq ft |
| Hartsfield-Jackson and the south metro | The world’s busiest airport in 2025, with warehouses along I-75 and I-85 | 106.3 million passengers |
Warehouse leasing hit a record. CBRE counted 22.2 million square feet of industrial leasing in Atlanta in the third quarter of 2026. Each new distribution building needs fiber to its IDF cabinets, Wi-Fi over the racking and cameras at every dock.
Built for Georgia storms
The National Weather Service office for Atlanta averages about 19 days a year with damaging wind, 7 with large hail and 6 with tornadoes, and Atlanta reached 100°F in July 2025.
- Surge protection and grounding where outdoor camera and building-to-building cables enter
- Fiber between buildings where a copper run would carry a lightning path
- Outdoor cameras and enclosures rated for summer heat
- UPS runtime sized with you for switches, cameras and door controllers
Common questions
Does network cabling need a Georgia low-voltage license?
Yes. LAN wiring is a general system under Georgia law, so the contractor needs a low-voltage license that includes general systems, and the City of Atlanta requires a low-voltage permit pulled by a licensed contractor.
Do you work in data centers and colocation cages?
Yes. We install racks, ladder rack, fiber trunks and patch fields in cages and data halls, and follow each operator’s rules for access, labeling and change windows.
Do you cover Alpharetta, Marietta and the suburbs?
Yes. Our Atlanta market covers the metro area, including Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Roswell, Alpharetta, Duluth, Marietta and the south metro around the airport.
How do you protect outdoor cameras from storms?
We ground and surge-protect cables where they enter the building, run fiber between buildings where it makes sense, and specify cameras and housings for the heat.
