Comcast Completes $1.7 Million Fiber Optic Expansion
Comcast Business has completed a nearly $1.7 million fiber optic network expansion project in downtown New Haven, Connecticut. As a result, Comcast’s high-performance network is now delivering up to 10 Gigabits-per-second of Ethernet capacity to more than seven businesses located between Tower Lane and State Street.
“Advanced, high-performance networking is critical to the success of today’s businesses so they can remain competitive with global firms,” said Paul Savas, vice president of Comcast Business for the Western New England Region. “Comcast Business’s investment in New Haven not only underscores that commitment to driving business growth in the New Haven area, but it brings the company’s network closer to hundreds of offices and residential buildings in these neighborhoods. This fiber expansion increases capacity and delivers advanced services, allowing us to bring new customers online quickly.”
New Haven Mayor Toni Harp says the fiber optic network expansion will help improve the city’s economy.
“New Haven is a unique city in Connecticut – located on Long Island Sound, not far from New York and home to one of the oldest, most prestigious schools in the country – making it the ideal location for small and medium-sized organizations to large enterprises to operate,” said Harp. “Comcast’s investment strengthens our local economy by offering businesses the technology infrastructure needed to better service customers and the community.”
