Telecommunications - CNS Camilla

In 1997, a partnership was formed between the cities of Cairo, Camilla, Moultrie, and Thomasville to construct a telecommunications network with the goal of providing high quality, low cost telecommunications services for schools, hospitals and businesses.

Through this partnership, the City of Camilla constructed a state of the art hybrid fiber-coax telecommunications system. This infrastructure provides customers with video and high-speed data communications equal to services typically only found in large metropolitan areas.

One of the advantages of this partnership is point-to-point communication services. Schools now have the ability to interconnect through the telecommunications network of these four cities. Students in Camilla can broadcast special events or share educational information with students in Thomasville as it happens, all while remaining in their respective classrooms.

Cable television and internet services are provided through the City of Camilla's Telecommunications Department called CNS (Community Network Services).

Cable programming offers over 100 channels of entertainment and digital service, and high speed internet connections are also available, allowing users the ability to stay "live" on the Internet 24 hours a day.
