New Competitive Option Offers Secure, Scalable
Bandwidth for Cloud Computing, Mobility, Online Backup and More to
Businesses Across Albuquerque, Santa Fe Metro Areas
Comcast Business today announced that its full portfolio of
Ethernet services will be available in Albuquerque and Santa Fe in
early 2015, with some services delivered later this year. Capable
of bandwidth up to 10 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps), these services
are specifically designed for businesses, schools, hospitals and
other organizations requiring more capacity, looking to network
multiple locations together, or planning to connect their offices
to a third-party data center.
“Whether it’s an engineering firm sending digital blueprints, a
law office backing up client records online, or a restaurant
needing more Wi-Fi capacity, bandwidth is increasingly becoming the
engine driving all businesses,” said Shawn Adamson, vice president
for Comcast Business in the Mile High Region. “This fiber expansion
will help companies in Albuquerque to grow and expand their
business, while driving competition, innovation and value for our
customers.”
All of Comcast’s Ethernet services are delivered over an
advanced network that spans 140,000 miles across 39 states and the
District of Columbia. Serving 20 of the top 25 U.S. markets,
Comcast’s network features a 100 Gbps backbone and expanded local
footprint through Ethernet over HFC. Bandwidth is available up to
10 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. Comcast was the first service provider in the
world to offer Metro Ethernet Forum CE 2.0 certified Ethernet
services and was also the first service provider to achieve all
three of the previous CE 1.0 certifications (MEF 9, 14 and 18).
Comcast Business offers four Ethernet services, including:
- Ethernet Private Line –
point-to-point connectivity between two customer sites for
bandwidth-intensive applications.
- Ethernet Virtual Private Line –
a point-to-multipoint connection that allows customers to tailor
bandwidth, performance characteristics and cost to meet the needs
of their applications.
- 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.
In the past year, Comcast Business received three Metro Ethernet
Forum (MEF) Carrier Ethernet Awards, including the prestigious
Service Provider of the Year for North America. Comcast Business
was also named the fastest-growing company ranked on Vertical
Systems Group’s year-end 2013 U.S. Carrier Ethernet
LEADERBOARD.
