Multi-million dollar network enhancement will
provide new choices for scalable, high-performance Ethernet,
Internet, Wi-Fi and advanced voice services
Comcast Business today announced a major proactive expansion of
its advanced network across the Denver metro area, providing local
businesses with access to new high-speed Internet and fiber optic
Ethernet service options. The fiber-based Ethernet network is
capable of delivering speeds up to 10 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps).
These upgrades will support the metro area’s thriving business
climate and economy; and represent the latest of Comcast’s
continued investment in Colorado.
Comcast is investing more than $10 million to deliver an
Ethernet and commercial Wi-Fi experience to more enterprises
located in multiple metro areas including downtown Denver, Aurora,
Englewood, Castle Rock, Wheat Ridge and more. The expanded network
will offer more choice in technology options for many industries
located in the initial expansion areas, and will provide access to
a comprehensive portfolio of advanced communications services to
help them improve productivity and scale their operations.
“Comcast is a technology leader and we welcome this significant
investment in Denver’s high-performance infrastructure, the
backbone of our growing economy,” said Tom Clark, chief executive
officer of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation. “From
high-tech agencies to hospitals, schools and corporations,
bandwidth is increasingly becoming the engine that drives all
businesses.”
Comcast Business recently received four Metro Ethernet Forum
(MEF) Ethernet Excellence Awards, including the prestigious Best
Service of the Year for North America. In addition, Comcast
Business was named the fastest-growing Ethernet provider on
Vertical Systems Group’s Year-End 2014 U.S. Carrier Ethernet
LEADERBOARD for the second consecutive year.
With this expansion, Metro Denver businesses will have access to
a comprehensive portfolio of Ethernet options from Comcast
Business, including Ethernet Dedicated Internet, Ethernet Private
Line, Ethernet Virtual Private Line and Ethernet Network Services
that provide Internet access, point-to-point and
point-to-multipoint connectivity at bandwidth that scales up to 10
Gbps. Companies will also be able to deploy Comcast Business
VoiceEdge™, a cloud-based voice and
unified communications solution designed to help customers run a
faster, more efficient business.
Comcast’s fiber-based Ethernet network is ideal for business
operations that require higher bandwidths to move high data traffic
such as video conferencing, streaming and multiple users on a Wi-Fi
network, as well as file sharing, back-up and cloud-based
applications. In addition, Comcast’s network is capable of
connecting multiple locations of one company as if they were in the
same building.
“Our network expansion in Denver and the surrounding communities
is another example of Comcast’s commitment to bring businesses more
options for high-capacity network connectivity, which is
fundamental to economic development and growth,” said Shawn
Adamson, vice president of Comcast Business. “Businesses
establishing roots in Colorado need not only physical space to
expand, but also room to scale capacity as their technology needs
evolve.”
