Asheville-based IT support company, Blue Ridge Technology, played a crucial role in reconnecting small businesses in North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
—
Blue Ridge Technology, a trusted IT solutions provider in Asheville, is proud to announce its critical role in helping small businesses across North Carolina regain Internet connectivity quickly after the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene by donating staff time and expertise.
Through the rapid installation of Starlink internet services, Blue Ridge Technology enabled local businesses to get back online and resume operations in record time.
Hurricane Helene left many communities in North Carolina without reliable Internet access, putting small businesses at risk of prolonged downtime. Making landfall during the last week of September, the hurricane produced wind speeds up to 140 mph. The impact was felt from Florida to Virginia, with thousands of homes and businesses left without power.
Blue Ridge Technology acted swiftly, deploying staff to install and set up Starlink satellite Internet systems free of charge. These systems offer a solution that provides high-speed, reliable Internet in even the most remote affected areas.
Thanks to Blue Ridge Technology’s rapid response, local businesses like College H.U.N.K.S., K-Wall and Fletcher Village Bakery were able to:
- Restore critical online services within hours
- Reconnect with customers and vendors
- Facilitate remote work and collaboration
- Process payments and manage online orders
“After the hurricane, many small businesses were struggling to get back on their feet, and reliable Internet access was a major roadblock,” said Zack Calloway, CEO of Blue Ridge Technology.” “Our expertise with Starlink allowed us to provide an immediate solution that restored connectivity where traditional networks were down, helping businesses reopen their doors and keep serving their communities.”
Internet connectivity plays an increasingly integral role in day-to-day operations for small businesses across North Carolina. Extreme weather conditions can cause severe disruptions, putting companies at risk of financial losses, extended downtime and property damage. The actions of Blue Ridge Technology demonstrate the importance and impact of pulling together in adversity. By restoring reliable, fast Internet connections for local businesses, the team helped to prevent disruptions, enabling companies to run smoothly and provide the best possible service for customers under challenging circumstances.
