Comcast expands enterprise connectivity and media distribution services

Comcast Business has announced a collaboration with Equinix to digitize last-mile ordering for enterprise connectivity. Through the Comcast Business Innovation Lab program, enterprises can use standards-based APIs within Equinix Fabric to order connectivity. This initiative aims to reduce delivery times from weeks to days, initially focusing on last-mile Ethernet for eligible locations with future plans to include optical wavelengths, cloud connectivity, and cybersecurity.

Separately, Comcast Technology Solutions has entered a multi-year agreement with A+E Global Media. Using the Comcast MediaExpress platform, Comcast will provide centralized video-on-demand management and distribution for A+E brands, including A&E, HISTORY, and Lifetime. The service is intended to streamline content preparation, packaging, and delivery to improve operational efficiency across streaming and digital platforms.
