| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |

| Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates relate to its allowances for receivables and deferred tax assets, plus the valuation of equity issuances. |

| Receivables, Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure that accounts receivable are not overstated due to un-collectability. At the time accounts receivable are originated, the Company considers a reserve for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of customers. Aged accounts receivable are reviewed by management for collectability. The provision for uncollectible amounts is continually reviewed and adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover future losses. The allowance is management’s best estimate of uncollectible amounts and is determined based on historical performance that is tracked by the Company on an ongoing basis. The customer is billed after the job has been completed, inspected and approval is obtained by its customer. The segmentation of large contracts into small manageable contracts allows for a particular job to be completed, inspected and approved for payment by the customer, with this cycle taking approximately only up to several weeks. The payments terms are 30 days. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, management has provided for an allowance for doubtful accounts of $89,000 and $267,998, respectively. |

| Revenue Recognition, Sales of Goods [Policy Text Block] |
Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold Recognition Generally, including for the staffing business, revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Due to the short term nature of the Company’s construction contracts, revenue is recognized once 100% of a contract segment is completed. A contract may have many segments, of which, once a segment is completed, the revenue for the segment is recognized when no further significant performance obligations exists. The Network’s construction contracts or segments of contracts typically range from several days to two to four months. Contract costs may be billed as incurred. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and repairs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period such losses are known. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, changes in raw materials costs, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to revenue, costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. |

| Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Deferred Financing Costs The Company has recorded deferred financing costs as a result of fees incurred by the Company in conjunction with its debt financing activities. These costs are amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method which approximates the interest rate method over the term of the related debt. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, unamortized deferred financing costs were approximately $140,000 and $0, respectively. Amortization of such fees were $0 and $481,782 for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or fair value. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
The estimated useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as current operating strategy and legal considerations such as contractual life. Future events, such as property expansions, property developments, new competition, or new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which the Company uses certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the asset nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on disposition of property and equipment are included in the consolidated statements of operations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Valuation of Long-lived Assets The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with related accounting standards. Assets to be held and used (including projects under development as well as property and equipment), are reviewed for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company first groups its assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the “asset group”). Secondly, the Company estimates the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and expected to arise from the completion, use and eventual disposition of such asset group. The Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then an impairment is measured based on fair value compared to carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. If an asset is still under development, future cash flows include remaining construction costs. There were no impairments during the periods presented. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Income Taxes The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a “more likely than not” realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. During the period of October 31, 2012, through September 30, 2015, the Company operated primarily in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia. If the Company is required to pay income taxes or penalties in the future, penalties will be recorded in general and administrative expenses and interest will be separately stated as interest expense. The Company has not yet filed its tax returns for its fiscal years ended September 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015, but has engaged a tax professional to begin to compile the past due returns. The Company’s tax returns for the periods from January 1, 2011 through September 30, 2015 remain subject to examination |

| Stockholders' Equity, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Equity The Company applies the classification and measurement principles enumerated in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” with respect to accounting for its issuances of the preferred stock. The Company evaluates convertible preferred stock at each reporting date for appropriate balance sheet classification. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company bases its fair value determinations of the carrying value of other financial assets and liabilities on an evaluation of their particular facts and circumstances and valuation techniques that require judgments and estimates. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation technique. The carrying amounts reflected in the combined balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, factoring lines of credit, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate the respective fair value due to the short maturities of these items. |

| Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with financial institutions with high credit ratings, maintaining balances below the $250,000 FDIC insured amount. The Company is subject to risk of non-payment of its trade accounts receivable. At any point in time, the Company’s customer base can be highly concentrated. As of September 30, 2015, a provider of large scale fiber optic cables (“Customer E”) and a leading provider of wireless infrastructure solutions (“Customer B”) represented 47% and 12% of accounts receivable, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, a leading service provider of dark fiber and advanced network services (“Customer A”), Customer B and a multinational provider of communications technology and services (“Customer C”), represented 41%, 18% and 13% of accounts receivable, respectively. Revenue may significantly decline if the Company were to lose one or more of its significant customers. For the year ended September 30, 2015, Customer C and a corporate staffing customer within the Company’s staffing segment (“Customer D’), represented approximately 36% and 37% of revenues, respectively. For the year ended September 30, 2014, “Customer F”, a telecommunications company providing fiber optic based network solutions, represented approximately 72% of revenues. No other customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenue during either year ended September 30, 2015 or 2014. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Segment Reporting The Company operates in the telecommunications infrastructure services industry and, effective May 8, 2014, entered the staffing industry. For the year ended September 30, 2014 the Company’s staffing business was in the development stage and only generated negligible revenues and expenses. Consequently, the Company concluded that the staffing business did not qualify as a separate segment for the year ended September 30, 2014. The Company has reported segment results pursuant to ASC 280-10 “Segment Reporting” for the year ended September 30, 2015 (See Note 12 – Segment Reporting.) |

| Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share from continuing operations:
The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:
[1] The Series D preferred shares are mandatorily convertible at a rate of 400 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock upon (a) a sufficient increase in the authorized common shares; and (b) a reverse split of the common shares.
[2] Represents rights for the purchase of shares of the Company’s Series D convertible preferred stock, held by 5G pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. See Note 1 – Description of Business and History - Assignment & Purchase Agreement.

| Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Advertising Advertising costs, if any, are expensed as incurred. For the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, the Company’s spending on advertising was not material. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all holdings of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Reclassifications Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Liquidity and Managements Plans [Policy Text Block] |
Liquidity and Managements’ Plans During the year ended September 30, 2015 the Company has incurred a net loss of $3.6 million and, in addition, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $6.4 million as of September 30, 2015, which includes approximately $1.8 million of liabilities for unpaid payroll taxes and the related penalties and interest. Management’s plans are to enter into an installment plan with the IRS for the payment of the unpaid payroll taxes and to continue to raise additional funds through the sales of debt or equity securities until such time that operations generate sufficient cash to operate the business. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company entered into an $8 million senior secured credit facility. Of the proceeds received, approximately $1.8 million was used to extinguish approximately $3.5 million of Company debt and $3.0 million was deposited into a restricted Company bank account which requires Lateral’s approval to utilize. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain and close financing on terms acceptable to the Company, enter into an acceptable installment plan with the IRS or whether the Company will become profitable and generate positive operating cash flow. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds or generate positive operating cash flow, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. |

| New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing US GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and liquidity. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15, which is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, extends the responsibility for performing the going-concern assessment to management and contains guidance on how to perform a going-concern assessment and when going-concern disclosures would be required under U.S. GAAP. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 amends the existing guidance to require that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of as a deferred charge. ASU 2015-03 is effective on a retrospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). The FASB issued this ASU as part of its ongoing Simplification Initiative, with the objective of reducing complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 require entities that present a classified balance sheet to classify all deferred tax liabilities and assets as a noncurrent amount. This guidance does not change the offsetting requirements for deferred tax liabilities and assets, which results in the presentation of one amount on the balance sheet. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU align the deferred income tax presentation with the requirements in International Accounting Standards (IAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The implementation of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact to the disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
