The state's primary area codes - 276, 434, 540, 571, 703, 757, and 804 - each cover distinct regions with varying needs. For example, the 703 and 571 area codes, serving Northern Virginia, require high-capacity networks to support the tech-heavy economy. In contrast, the 276 area code, covering the southwestern part of the state, often requires innovative solutions like satellite internet to reach isolated communities in the Appalachian Mountains.
