New enhancements to the C Spire wireless network in Biloxi, Miss., are impacting high-traffic areas along the beachfront as well as near schools.

Just in time for fall events like Cruisin’ the Coast — an annual weeklong gathering that attracts 10,000 classic cars and automobiles — our cell site near Edgewater Mall, one of the prime locations for viewing and visiting, just got a big boost in wireless coverage and capacity.

Elsewhere across the city, C Spire recently turned up network enhancements at Biloxi High School and Creekbend Elementary, both located in northern sections of the city.

Across the network footprint, C Spire engineers constantly monitor customer usage and patterns and proactively add speed, capacity and coverage enhancements through micro and macro cell sites to stay ahead of customer needs.

The C Spire network team racked up more than 500 enhancements to the cellular network in 2022 and 2023, a nearly $150 million investment. These 5G and LTE deployments are part of a $1 billion investment in expanding our network and the fiber infrastructure that powers our wireless towers.
