Students aren’t the only ones learning at schools across Mississippi these days. Behind the scenes, C Spire engineers monitoring the wireless network in real time have noticed usage demands increase at cell sites near school campuses around the state.

If you’re from Mississippi, you probably know a few things about Wiggins. Maybe you’ve enjoyed the recreation at Flint Creek Water Park or stopped into the Whistle Stop Café for a roast beef po’ boy smothered in brown gravy.

But if you’ve only passed through town on Hwy. 49, here’s another reason to stop and explore: new C Spire 5G, which is providing faster speeds for residents and visitors who use our wireless network.

Over the course of three tragic hours on the evening of March 24, life changed forever for thousands of Mississippians.

Twenty-one lives were lost as a series of massive tornadoes cut a path of destruction across central and northeast Mississippi. A long recovery awaits the survivors, led by the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, American Red Cross, and scores of local emergency management teams and individuals who are volunteering to provide food, clothes, shelter and funds to rebuild their lives.

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.

But the truth is our network is constantly evolving. Over the past month, we’ve brought online and enhanced dozens of new 5G sites to serve nearly half a million residents in the Central Mississippi/Capitol Region.

Constantly having tech by your side doesn’t mean you’re becoming a couch potato. In fact, as the number of downloadable smartphone apps nears the 6 million mark, our devices have become our motivators and helpers along the way to fitness and fun.

Now, a new crop of gardening apps is making it easier for users to grow and harvest healthy vegetables in their own backyards.

Filing your income taxes is never fun, but electronic filing makes the ordeal much more convenient than the old paper-and-pen method. And taxpayers are taking advantage—more than ninety percent used electronic filing last year.

A growing number of e-filing tax prep providers are stepping up their game by creating apps for filing on a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet. Instead of powering up the laptop, these apps can now help you get it done from the one device that never leaves your side.
