CloudWyze boosts coverage of its high-speed fibre network in Nash County, NC
CloudWyze, a homegrown North Carolina internet and managed service provider and GREAT Grant recipient, is expanding service in Nash County, N.C. in their continued efforts to close the digital divide.
Fibre internet from CloudWyze was available to more than 2,500 residents in Nashville, N.C. in November 2022, and quickly drew hundreds of subscribers in the area. With the recent extension, CloudWyze will bring high-speed fibre internet to more than 1,300 additional households and businesses in the eastern part of Nashville and western parts Rocky Mount, including the neighborhoods near Oak Level Road, Old Carriage Road, and Eastern Avenue.
“Nash County, through a public-private partnership with CloudWyze, continues to expand high-speed internet into rural areas,” says Patsy McGhee, assistant to county manager in Nash County. “The private investment by CloudWyze is also being used in these areas, but also is expanded to include a larger fiber build in and around Nashville, providing competition to benefit the residents and businesses in those areas.”
Nash County and CloudWyze entered a public-private partnership in 2018 to bring fixed wireless internet service to several areas of the county, including Red Oak, Castalia, Momeyer, Spring Hope, Middlesex, and Bailey, and have since added fibre internet to the scope of the partnership.
“For us, it was always more than simply providing internet. Quality access backed by strong partnerships are a catalyst for the growth and success of these communities,” says Shaun Olsen, CloudWyze founder and CEO. “A reliable internet connection enables students to learn remotely, businesses to access critical resources, patients to utilise telemedicine, grandparents to video call their grandkids, and so on. Connectivity is no longer a luxury it is a necessity.”
