CONNECTING MISSISSIPPI
OUR JOURNEY
Once upon a time in the charming town of Sebastopol, Mississippi, the community faced a challenge that hindered progress and connectivity. Determined to bridge the digital divide, Sebastopol Water and Gas embarked on a noble endeavor under the CARES ACT program. They created Rural Mississippi Internet (RMI) and envisioned a world where every resident could participate in the digital economy and stay seamlessly connected with loved ones. This marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey that would eventually give birth to SWAG Fiber. In the early months of 2023, a team of passionate individuals gathered under the banner of SWAG Fiber, building upon the strong foundation laid by RMI. Empowered by a shared vision and fueled by the belief that connectivity should be accessible to all, SWAG Fiber set out on a path to revolutionize the digital landscape of Mississippi.
THE FOCUS
The initial focus of SWAG Fiber is to enhance and upgrade the existing wireless services, breathing new life into the networks that already existed within the community. By leveraging the latest technological advancements and strategic partnerships, we aim to deliver faster speeds, greater reliability, and a seamless browsing experience to our fellow Mississippians.
FUNDING
Recognizing the immense potential of fiber-optic infrastructure, we have set our sights on an even grander goal - SWAG Fiber plans to apply for various funding opportunities available through state broadband offices, with the ultimate aim of bringing fiber to every home and business in the region. We understand that fiber optic connectivity will be the key to unlocking limitless opportunities and propelling Mississippi into the digital era.
THE IMPACT
With unwavering dedication and a customer-centric approach, SWAG Fiber is committed to the cause of providing high-speed, reliable, and affordable connectivity. We understand that success isn't just measured in terms of financial gains but by the positive impact we can create for Mississippi's families and businesses. And so, the story of RMI and Sebastopol continues through SWAG Fiber, with an unwavering mission to connect, empower, and uplift Mississippi. Through innovation, collaboration, and a passion for progress, SWAG Fiber strives to make dreams of a connected future a reality for all those they serve.
