Enhancing Military Base Connectivity with eCommunity™ Fiber 

Anthem Connect, in partnership with eCommunity™ Fiber, a leader in deploying carrier-neutral, open-access fiber networks, is excited to announce a revolutionary upgrade in internet connectivity for U.S. military bases. Starting in May 2024, our collaborative initiative will kick off with a highly anticipated fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) internet service upgrade at Fort Eisenhower in Augusta. This upgrade marks a significant milestone in our shared mission to revolutionize internet and digital services for military base residents and businesses across the U.S. 

Our partnership with eCommunity™ will bring numerous benefits to military families, including enhanced quality of life through superior internet connectivity, increased access to online educational resources and communication tools, and improved operational efficiency and support for military personnel. 

To elevate internet connectivity, eCommunity™ will deploy a state-of-the-art, high-capacity dedicated network exclusively for military installations. This project addresses the growing demand for high-speed fiber internet in base housing. 

The upgrade at Fort Eisenhower represents the first major communications infrastructure enhancement in 30 years. This groundbreaking project sets a new standard for future expansions throughout the year, ensuring military families have access to the most advanced and reliable internet services available. 

At the heart of our initiative is a commitment to improving the quality of life for military families. By delivering gigabit-plus internet speeds, streaming TV, a la carte online services, telemedicine, and other low-latency products, Anthem Connect and eCommunity™ aim to transform the standard for military base connectivity. 

Jerrald Rector, COO of eCommunity™, expressed his enthusiasm about the project, stating, “Our mission to provide secure, reliable, and fast internet access for all military families is a pivotal step forward. Long overdue, but we have designed a non-civilian based network customized for our nation’s servicemen and women at Fort Eisenhower and beyond.” 

As we embark on this historic upgrade, Anthem Connect and eCommunity™ are dedicated to setting a model for future enhancements across the nation, ensuring that military families enjoy the highest quality digital experiences.
