Comcast Business extends Ethernet network to Red-Wood business district
Published 12:04 pm Friday, November 6, 2015
Comcast Business announced a substantial network expansion to the Redmond-Woodinville business district, 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.
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.
