These expanded service offerings will support Tallahassee’s
developing business climate, which landed it among the top 200 U.S.
cities on the Forbes Magazine List for “Best Places for Businesses
and Careers.”
“In today’s increasingly digital world, internet access and
speed are critical to operations for businesses of all sizes and
across all industries,” said Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum. “The
expansion of Comcast’s high-speed network will serve as a strong
contributor to the continued business and job growth we are seeing
in our City, and overall the development of Tallahassee’s new
economy.”
Comcast’s advanced network is ideal for businesses that need
bandwidth to move large amounts of data for operations like video
conferencing, streaming, multiple users on a Wi-Fi network, file
sharing and back-up, and cloud-based applications. In addition, the
network is capable of connecting multiple locations of one company
to provide the same level of service across its network.
Comcast’s services can also be used by businesses that need a
redundant or second network for business continuity and to provide
file access, back-up and recovery in the event of a disaster. This
can be particularly critical to Florida businesses during hurricane
season when severe weather can cause power outages or make office
buildings inaccessible.
“Our network not only delivers the highest speed and capacity to
Tallahassee businesses, it’s also built to easily accommodate
future growth,” said Reggie Scales, Vice President, Business
Services for the Comcast Florida Region. “Multi-gigabit speeds and
reliability are critical for business today, and those needs are
growing exponentially.”
Comcast Business serves schools, businesses, hospitals, and
other organizations that require large amounts of bandwidth, are
looking to link multiple locations, or that plan to connect their
offices to a third-party data center. Services offered include:
- Ethernet Private Line: point-to-point
connectivity between two customer sites for bandwidth-intensive
applications.
- Ethernet Virtual Private Line:
point-to-multipoint connection to enable customers to tailor
bandwidth, performance characteristics, and cost.
- Ethernet Network Service:
multipoint-to-multipoint connectivity to connect organizations with
high-bandwidth requirements and multiple locations across Comcast’s
network.
- Ethernet Dedicated Internet:
continuous, high-bandwidth connectivity between customers’ LANs and
the public Internet.
Comcast has been delivering multi-gig (up to 10 Gbps) Ethernet
service to businesses in Florida since 2011, and last year began
offering Gigabit Pro, a residential multi-gigabit broadband service
for consumers in the Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and
Jacksonville areas. In April, Comcast announced that it will offer
DOCSIS 3.1-powered gigabit internet service in Florida using
connections that are already in customers’ homes.
Nationally, Comcast Business’s Ethernet services are delivered
over an advanced network that spans 140,000 miles and features a
100 Gbps backbone and expanded local footprint through Ethernet
over HFC. Bandwidth is available up to 100 Gbps and can be scaled
in increments and offered in three different classes of service,
backed by strict service level agreements and monitored 24x7x365
from Comcast’s dedicated Network Operations Centers.
