Who We Serve

Community Anchor Institutions that form the nucleus of education, research, healthcare, and economic development in North Carolina

Colleges and Universities

MCNC has proudly served North Carolina’s most important institutions for 40 years.

Today, the MCNC community is more diverse than ever before with anchor institutions ranging from agricultural and cultural to electric co-ops and public safety. Not only has MCNC’s community of users grown, so has its network, NCREN (North Carolina Research and Education Network). NCREN’s infrastructure now reaches underserved, rural areas that often struggle to find the connectivity that securely meets their broadband, network services, and applications needs. MCNC leverages its backbone and seeks partnerships with local providers to enable more solutions to areas challenged by distance or terrain.

MCNC provides network services in all 100 counties, with a footprint that meanders throughout the state and more than 4,400 miles of fiber infrastructure, giving MCNC the ability, flexibility and the agility to create individualized solutions and services for its wide-ranging community.

MCNC is grateful to serve and support these pillar anchor institutions of North Carolina.
