Service to provide scalable, flexible
technology to area businesses
Comcast Business today announced a substantial network expansion
to the Redmond-Woodinville business district in Washington,
bringing a full range of Ethernet services to nearly 100 businesses
in the 150th – 170th block of Woodinville/Redmond Road.
Comcast Business invested more than $100,000 to bring fiber and
coaxial cable to area businesses that range from construction and
manufacturing firms to fitness centers and wineries. These
businesses will soon have access to high-performance Ethernet
service of up to 10 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps), in addition to the
Comcast Business services already available there, including WiFi,
TV and advanced voice services.
“Local organizations depend on a strong network for accessing
cloud services, data centers and high-speed Internet in order to
service their customers and build their business,” said Woodinville
Mayor Bernie Talmas. “Comcast’s investment in this community
reinforces our goal of supporting entrepreneurs and growing our
local economy. All of the businesses in the service area will have
access to the Comcast network, giving them the communications
infrastructure that allows them to take full advantage of
technology and to compete effectively.”
Comcast representatives noted how dedicated the city officials
were to bringing a faster network to the businesses that wanted
more performance. “The city of Woodinville assisted us throughout
the implementation process. They are dedicated to driving further
innovation and fostering business growth in their community,” said
Matt Fassnacht, Vice President of Comcast Business in Washington.
“We are pleased to offer service that will provide these businesses
the technology tools that they need to be successful.”
Construction began in July. Once the expansion is completed
later this year, businesses in the Woodinville/Redmond Road area
will have access to Comcast’s comprehensive portfolio of Ethernet
services, including:
- Ethernet Dedicated Internet –
continuous, high-bandwidth connectivity between customers’ LANs and
the public Internet.
- Ethernet Network Service –
multipoint-to-multipoint connectivity to connect organizations with
high-bandwidth requirements and multiple locations across Comcast’s
network.
- 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.
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 recently received four Metro Ethernet Forum
(MEF) Ethernet Excellence Awards, including the prestigious Best
Service of the Year for North America.
