Twenty-one lives were lost as a series of massive tornadoes cut a path of destruction across central and northeast Mississippi.

We’re on a mission to bring more 5G to Mississippi—and in the last 14 months alone, we’ve deployed $114 million in upgrades across the state.

C Spire network engineers have been busy lately adding 5G and other network enhancements around the state, with plenty more on the docket to install soon.

In the latest round of 5G enhancements, our team has deployed the technology at 10 sites in and around Oxford, as well as at several urban and rural locations throughout the Gulf Coast region—including Gulfport, Moss Point, Lucedale, Kiln, Saucier, Gautier, Pass Christian and Beaumont.

The C Spire wireless network never sleeps, and judging by our pace of network enhancements, maybe our techs don’t, either.

During 2022, we deployed network upgrades to well over 300 cell site locations, providing enhanced LTE and 5G capacity and coverage throughout C Spire Country. Nearly every day another pocket of our area sees increased speeds for browsing and streaming media, and the comfort of continually upgraded coverage.
