Lumos Leads the Way in
Connecting us to the World
The world's connectivity
has changed over the last
two years, and Lumos has
stepped up to connect the
Alleghany Highlands to
that new world of working
from anywhere.
Work remotely-fiber optic installation
by Lumos is complete in their coverage area
Alleghany Highlands.
" It gives the capability to not just have a motto of
'live uniquely, work remotely,' but it also provides the
capability to actually live it, " says Lumos CEO Diego
Anderson. " So we're going into a gig society where
you have people who want the capability to work in
a location remotely and enjoy the beautiful scenery
that you have here. What a fantastic combination. "
Now, with the availability of fiber optic, Anderson
says the need for relocating long-term will be no
more. " Fiber optic brings the capability to connect
back to anywhere in the world-you can work from
home, be productive, then disconnect, " Anderson
says, " Once you disconnect from technology, you can
go back and enjoy the scenery. "
And that's just what you can do. Look to Lumos
as the only complete fiber-optic provider in their
service area of the Alleghany Highlands, and
connectivity issues will no longer stand in the way of
you and your life here.
