Conexon Connect reaches 240,000 Georgia locations with fiber rollout

The project serves members across nine rural counties, including Appling, Bacon, and Ware. Despite facing physical setbacks during Hurricane Helene in 2024, the five-year build concluded in June 2026. This infrastructure now guarantees 100 percent coverage for Satilla REMC members, filling a void left by commercial providers who previously bypassed these remote territories.

Beyond basic connectivity, the network utilizes multi-gigabit symmetrical speeds and supports smart grid technology to bolster the electrical infrastructure of local cooperatives. Romeo Reyes, President and CEO of Satilla REMC, noted that the initiative was born out of necessity when it became clear that traditional service providers would not extend facilities into these rural communities. Following this success, Conexon Connect is currently managing over 20 projects across seven states, aiming to reach approximately 500,000 rural homes and businesses.
