McGill Environmental Services Practice Area Leader Jon Swaim said, “We have worked on numerous projects since we began offering fiber optics services — mostly focusing on rural areas that lack proper internet access, particularly along the east coast. From Robeson County, Lumberton, Laurinburg, Fayetteville, Columbus, Brunswick County, and Chowan County to Pickens County and Myrtle Beach in South Carolina — McGill has worked tirelessly to bring high-speed internet to many of our local communities.”

Importance of Fiber Optics for the Communities we Serve

STRENGTHENING BUSINESS

High-speed internet empowers businesses by enhancing communication capabilities with customers, suppliers, and employees. This leads to increased productivity, improved sales, and access to new markets, ultimately boosting profitability.

PROMOTING NEW BUSINESS

Access to high-speed internet not only aids in business retention but also attracts external companies to rural areas. Broadband access plays a crucial role in businesses’ decision-making process while selecting new locations, thus promoting economic growth.

ENCOURAGING SMART AGRICULTURE

Fiber optics enables farmers to leverage precision agriculture and remote monitoring technology. By optimizing irrigation, conserving resources, and increasing yields, rural communities can embrace sustainable farming practices.

IMPROVING HEALTHCARE

High-speed internet paves the way for telemedicine technologies, allowing patients in rural areas to connect with healthcare specialists through video conferencing, advanced monitoring services, and remote diagnostics. This breakthrough has the potential to save lives by providing timely access to healthcare resources.

ADVANCING EDUCATION

Fiber optics brings students in rural areas on par with their urban counterparts, offering access to online educational resources, advanced courses, and opportunities for remote learning. It aids in bridging the educational gap and empowering students in subjects like science and math.

INCREASING CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

High-speed internet access has been linked to higher levels of civic involvement in rural communities. In addition to playing a role in political engagements like voting, it fuels increased participation in various activities such as sports, volunteerism, and community events.

OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR CLIENTS’ CONNECTIVITY NEEDS

McGill’s commitment to expanding fiber optics services in rural areas showcases our dedication to shaping communities throughout the Southeast. By revolutionizing internet access through our fiber optic services, we are taking a significant step in bridging the urban-rural digital divide.

The deployment of this fast and reliable infrastructure has the potential to transform businesses, improve healthcare outcomes, advance educational opportunities, and enhance civic engagement. As the demand for high-speed internet continues to grow, it is imperative that we play a central role in providing connectivity for all of our clients, regardless of geographic location.
