Comcast Expands Fiber Network throughout the Denver Metro Area
Multi-million dollar network enhancement will provide new choices for scalable,
high-performance Ethernet, Internet, Wi-Fi and advanced voice services
DENVER – April 7, 2015 – Comcast Business today announced a major proactive expansion of its
advanced network across the Denver metro area, providing local businesses with access to new highspeed Internet and fiber optic Ethernet service options. The fiber-based Ethernet network is capable of
delivering speeds up to 10 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps). These upgrades will support the metro area’s
thriving business climate and economy; and represent the latest of Comcast’s continued investment in
Colorado.
Comcast is investing more than $10 million to deliver an Ethernet and commercial Wi-Fi experience to
more enterprises located in multiple metro areas including downtown Denver, Aurora, Englewood, Castle
Rock, Wheat Ridge and more. The expanded network will offer more choice in technology options for
many industries located in the initial expansion areas, and will provide access to a comprehensive
portfolio of advanced communications services to help them improve productivity and scale their
operations.
“Comcast is a technology leader and we welcome this significant investment in Denver’s highperformance infrastructure, the backbone of our growing economy,” said Tom Clark, chief executive
officer of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation. “From high-tech agencies to hospitals,
schools and corporations, bandwidth is increasingly becoming the engine that drives all businesses.”
Comcast Business recently received four Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) Ethernet Excellence Awards,
including the prestigious Best Service of the Year for North America. In addition, Comcast Business was
named the fastest-growing Ethernet provider on Vertical Systems Group’s Year-End 2014 U.S. Carrier
Ethernet LEADERBOARD for the second consecutive year.
With this expansion, Metro Denver businesses will have access to a comprehensive portfolio of Ethernet
options from Comcast Business, including Ethernet Dedicated Internet, Ethernet Private Line, Ethernet
Virtual Private Line and Ethernet Network Services that provide Internet access, point-to-point, and pointto-multipoint connectivity at bandwidth that scales up to 10 Gbps. Companies will also be able to deploy
Comcast Business VoiceEdge™, a cloud-based voice and unified communications solution designed to
help customers run a faster, more efficient business.
Comcast’s fiber-based Ethernet network is ideal for business operations that require higher bandwidths to
move high data traffic such as video conferencing, streaming, multiple users on a Wi-Fi network as well
as file sharing and back-up and cloud-based applications. In addition, Comcast’s network is capable of
connecting multiple locations of one company as if they were in the same building.
“Our network expansion in Denver and the surrounding communities is another example of Comcast’s
commitment to bring businesses more options for high-capacity network connectivity, which is
fundamental to economic development and growth,” said Shawn Adamson, vice president of Comcast
Business. “Businesses establishing roots in Colorado need not only physical space to expand, but also
room to scale capacity as their technology needs evolve.”
