Broadband
Your Highway to the World
Russell County is served by three telecommunications companies: Shentel, Verizon, and Point Broadband - which makes double and triple broadband redundancy possible for companies locating in our county.
Point Broadband was deployed in Russell County through strategic industrial development efforts and is an all-fiber-optic telecommunications network comparable to any in the world. Its voice and data services are transported on multiple, diverse 200 Gbps protected rings that provide immediate redundancy or re-routing of information if a pathway is broken. The network offers affordable digital phone services and advanced broadband to institutions and businesses in the county, providing speeds of up to 1 Gbps and a performance level for data centers as high as tier-4. Middle-mile construction for Point Broadband currently underway will eventually bring high speeds and fiber-to-the-home connectivity across Southwest Virginia.
Our world-class network, coupled with Russell County's inland location and relatively mild climate make our area viable for companies needing locations for data redundancy and/or data storage. The telecommunications giant CGI found our resources and region very attractive and is currently located in this Russell Regional Business Technology Park in Lebanon.
Customized Solutions for Customers
Point Broadband is highly robust and flexible, and its configurations are expandable to meet virtually any customer need. Network representatives work closely with business customers to determine each company's needs and goals. They then customize a telecommunications plan based on those strategies.
