One minute they’re at your side — the next, where'd they go? If you’ve ever attended a large event with kids, you know this scenario well. But when they get a little older and begin exploring without you, technology can be your extra set of eyes.

At C Spire, we’ve weathered and recovered from our share of hurricanes and other natural disasters, all while helping connect survivors to crucial aid sources and loved ones with our wireless network. And we’re always ready to lend a hand to our neighbors.

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.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, C Spire has mobilized to support Carolina West Wireless by delivering six full-size generators and two towable generators to aid in restoration efforts in North Carolina. The devastating storm made landfall Sept. 26 in Florida before wreaking havoc across several states, including Georgia and the Carolinas.

This collaborative effort highlights the importance of partnership in natural disasters, where multiple entities' collective strength and resources can accelerate the recovery process.

The C Spire wireless network handles more traffic than ever these days, but when you’re expecting 60,000 additional devices logging on over a six-acre spread, having a world-class backup can save your six.

That’s why C Spire brought its robust COLT (Cell On Light Truck) portable cellular tower to provide wireless support for the recent Thunder Over Columbus air show, held Sept. 21-22 at Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi.

Adron Belk was born to be a farmer. From the moment he could walk, he was exploring the fields of the family farm, diligently matching his father step for step, learning the ways of the land and steeping himself in the generational lore of the seasons. It’s the only life he’s ever known, and it’s as natural to him as breathing.

“There’s just something about farming,” says Belk. “The smell of dirt, putting a seed in the ground, nurturing it, watching it come to harvest. Nothing beats that feeling.”
