Building For The Future

On the Wired Road's fiber network there is no speed limit. The upper boundary of fiber capacity has yet to be found--meaning fiber future-proofs the region and ensures we will have the bandwidth our businesses and institutions need for decades to come.

Public Private Partnerships

The Wired Road is a true public/private partnership. Business and residential services on the Wired Road network are offered by private sector service providers. The Wired Road does NOT sell any services to businesses and residents. Customers buy services directly from the private sector service provider of their choice.

Next Generation Broadband

The Wired Road network is a state of the art integrated fiber and wireless network with the standard fiber connection starting at 100 megabits. If your business needs bandwidth, the Wired Road network can supply it.

Colocation Opportunities

The Wired Road has convienent and accessible colocation space in downtown Galax. Space is readily available to service providers and businesses. These spaces are ideal for off-site storage and backup systems, and will allow service providers to access customers on the Wired Road network.

Advancing Healthcare

The Twin Counties Regional Hospital is already benefiting from a Wired Road connection. The Wired Road fiber network will connect many of the medical offices, clinics, and labs in the community, creating a wide area, high performance network capable of handling even the biggest medical imaging files and data.

Broadband in the Twin Counties

Broadband is not a system or a technology, but rather refers to speed and capacity (bandwidth) of a network connection. Broadband in this context refers to high-speed Internet connections that are always connected (no dial-up) to very high-speed networks, enabling super-fast downloads and uploads. Broadband networks have the potential to dramatically change, enhance, and transform the types of applications and services currently available through todays narrowband Internet. A broadband network can provide customers with a choice of service providers and services.

The Wired Road is working to expand broadband opportunities in Carroll County, Grayson County, and the City of Galax.
