Agreement leverages Low Earth Orbit satellite
technology to enhance network redundancy and deliver connectivity
to enterprise locations in underserved regions
Comcast Business today announced a strategic agreement with
Starlink, a leader in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology,
to provide connectivity solutions to Comcast Business enterprise
customers. The collaboration enables advanced satellite
capabilities in Comcast Business’ Managed Connectivity portfolio to
deliver fast and reliable connectivity that supports a range of
business applications for enterprise customers, including those
with locations in underserved regions.
Enterprises operating multiple, disparate locations are faced
with unique connectivity challenges, particularly those with
locations where traditional networks do not reach. From geographic
limitations to scalability concerns and reliability issues, these
companies face challenges less commonly encountered by their
counterparts in more densely populated areas. Comcast Business’
collaboration with Starlink will address the demand for reliable,
managed connectivity for these enterprise customers, as well as
offer an innovative solution for enterprises looking to enhance
network redundancy.
“As the first major network provider to collaborate with
Starlink, we’re excited to uniquely enhance our extensive managed
connectivity portfolio with advanced satellite capabilities to
better serve our enterprise customers,” said Jon Friedman, Sr. Vice
President, Product Strategy and Operations, Comcast Business.
“Starlink's LEO satellite technology complements our existing
network infrastructure, extends our reach and further enhances
Comcast Business’ ability to deliver reliable connectivity
solutions to enterprises with a human touch.”
Starlink is the world's first and largest satellite
constellation using a low Earth orbit to deliver broadband internet
capable of supporting streaming, online gaming, video calls and
more. Leveraging advanced satellites and user hardware coupled with
its deep experience with both spacecraft and on-orbit operations,
Starlink is able to deliver high-speed internet to users.
“Starlink is excited to work with Comcast Business to deliver
reliable connectivity to customers,” said Jason Fritch, Vice
President of Starlink Enterprise Sales at SpaceX. “This agreement
with a leading service provider is an acknowledgement of Starlink’s
growing role as a critical element in modern enterprise
networks.”
