It’s a shame more rural Americans don’t have access to Gig internet like GoSEMO Fiber. We are doing our best to help bring broadband to rural America. So far in 2020, we have held Fiber Fly-in learning events, in person or via Zoom, with 18 NRECA electric cooperatives. Three co-ops (Louisiana and Ohio) visited this week. Proud of #TeamSEMO for investing time to help make other people’s lives better.

GoSEMO Fiber Business Spotlight: DJ's in Bloomfield
10:28AM September 01, 2020
It's a sport that many are involved in, but the last thing a dove hunter would think about when pulling their trigger is the amount of cash they may have to pull out of their pocket if shooting the wrong thing. The fee for damaging a fiber wire can cost a hunter up to $10,000. We will go to the landowner and ask who had permission to hunt, who was hunting and we will pursue the person who actually shot the fiber to try to reclaim the associated damages for the repair. When the fiber optic cable is accidentally shot, the pellets from the gun easily harm the glass fibers inside. A shot gun blast could cause many GoSEMO Fiber subscribers to be off-line, which means they will lose service for their internet, their television and their telephone services for approximately six to 12 hours.

Linemen from SEMO Electric Cooperative will join linemen from other Missouri electric cooperatives to assist Beauregard Electric Cooperative, based in DeRidder, Louisiana, recover from Hurricane Laura. The cooperative is 100% down with a tremendous amount of devastation. Team SEMO helped load equipment, packed water and necessities, conducted fleet maintenance and completed travel documents before SEMO Electric's linemen left at 5 a.m. from Sikeston to DeRidder, which is 48 miles north of Lake Charles, La., and 612 miles southwest of Sikeston, Mo. Linemen will stay in a tent city designed to protect them from COVID-19. Special air filters capable of removing 99.4% of the virus were installed on the HVAC equipment and beds are spread out farther than would normally be done. Cooperation among cooperatives is one of the principles that guide electric cooperatives.

In one of the many steps to build the GoSEMO Fiber network, Team SEMO “turned-up” the Delta Fiber Hut for testing. Fiber Internet works by sending laser light signals over ultra-thin glass fibers to transfer data. With the main fiber hut in Sikeston, fiber huts serve as transfer stations to relay light signals to each of the individual homes, farms and businesses on our network. This offers faster data transfer and less latency than cable or DSL lines that require electric signals to transfer data. SEMO Electric Cooperative will have 18 fiber huts once the network (or fiber ring) is completely built. Including the concrete, building, HVAC and electronic components, each remote fiber hut costs about $110,000.
