LIVERMORE, Calif., Dec. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast Business
today announced an extension of its advanced fiber-based network to
two business districts in Napa,
California. Specifically intended for small businesses and
organizations requiring more bandwidth capacity, these services are
designed to improve productivity and enhance business performance.
Comcast Business installed more than 14 miles of fiber, both
underground and aerial, to the industrial areas which will provide
almost 450 businesses with the opportunity to increase their
Internet speeds up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps).
One business district is the Napa Airpark, east of Napa County
Airport, where Comcast Business has installed fiber to 111
buildings hosting 295 businesses in the area between North Airport
Road and North Kelly Road. The second business district is
three miles to the north near Napa Valley Memorial Park.
Comcast Business has extended fiber to 89 buildings hosting 252
businesses in this second industrial area, bounded by Basalt Road
and Kaiser Road on the west, and Napa Vallejo Highway 221 on the
east.
The Meritage Resort and Spa was the first location in the
Napa area to receive Comcast's
fiber-based Internet services.
"We have been very happy with the service we have received from
Comcast Business and we look forward this partnership continuing,"
said Michael Palmer, general manager
of The Meritage Resort and Spa. "We are pleased to see Comcast's
continued investment in the Napa
business community, providing many businesses with critical access
to this new technology."
The expansion to the two business parks comes as a result of a
more than $2.5 million investment
from Comcast and allows the business areas, home to more than 445
businesses, to receive fiber-based Internet for the first time, as
well as reliable IP-based voice services.
"We are thrilled Comcast has made this investment in our
community," said Jill Techel, Mayor
of Napa. "In order to accommodate and support new job
creation in the Napa community, it
is imperative for the business community to have access to
high-speed broadband. Comcast's commitment guarantees Napa has the infrastructure to continue to
expand and prosper."
"Comcast Business is committed to giving local business owners a
choice for their telecommunications needs," said Ted Girdner, Vice President of Comcast Business
for California. "This extension of
our world-class fiber network will enable even more businesses in
Napa to grow and expand, while
simultaneously supporting their efforts to provide superior
customer experiences."
Comcast's network features a 100 Gbps backbone and expanded
local footprint through Ethernet over HFC, offering bandwidth up to
10 Gbps that can be scaled in increments and offered in three
different classes of service. Comcast Business's services are
backed by strict service level agreements and monitored 24x7x365
from Comcast's dedicated Network Operations Centers.
