Regional communications provider Hargray is expanding its fiber footprint to offer advanced communications services to businesses in Covington, Georgia. Hargray previously agreed to acquire Dark Fiber Systems based in Jacksonville, Florida.
Hargray Fiber SVP Chris McCorkendale said, “As a leading provider of fast and reliable last-mile fiber broadband services throughout the southeast, we are acutely aware of the demand for advanced communications services. Our expansion into Covington is a reflection of Hargray’s continued commitment to making those services more accessible for business leaders.”
Network construction is underway and service will be available this summer, according to Hargray. Covington businesses will have the ability to receive enhanced data, voice, and video services including Hosted Unified Communications, Metro-Ethernet, multi-gigabit symmetrical circuits, and video services customized for various commercial applications – all delivered over Hargray’s fiber-optic network. Hargray also provides colocation services.
Mayor Ronnie Johnston said businesses of all sizes, across various industries, call Covington home. “In order to continue driving this incredible economic growth, we must ensure businesses have what they need to operate. Interstates and roadways used to be the key to strong business, but our online marketplace brings an entirely different demand – strong broadband.”
