Wireless speeds are taking off across the C Spire network thanks to continual enhancements of 5G and high-speed LTE in both urban and rural areas.
C Spire technicians recently completed work adding a new macro site in the Elks Lake area of Forrest County, just south of Hattiesburg in the Piney Woods region. These enhancements are now bolstering cell coverage and capacity for customers and commuters between I-59 and U.S. Hwy. 49.
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.
