Comcast today announced plans to extend its advanced network infrastructure in La Porte County, making Comcast Business’ secure, high-speed Internet and advanced telecommunication services available to all businesses in the 627-acre Kingsbury Industrial Park along East Hupp Road east of U.S. 35. The project should be complete by the end of this year.
Once the extension is complete, businesses in the park will be able to access Comcast Business’s full suite of services, including Internet speeds up to 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps), Ethernet, Advanced Voice, Comcast Business Mobile, and a variety of cloud services. Additional services that will be available include: Connection Pro, an automatic 4G LTE backup connection to keep businesses running; SecurityEdge, a cloud-based cybersecurity solution for businesses that protects connected devices; and WiFi Pro, a mobile-friendly tool that allows businesses to manage customer- and internal-facing networks. Having the network in place in the park will allow Comcast Business to connect new customers quickly.
Comcast is committed to economic development in La Porte County and worked closely with county officials on the expansion plans.
Comcast’s latest project follows the completion of business and industrial network expansions in Hammond, Portage, Schererville, Middlebury, Wakarusa and Warsaw and a recently announced residential expansion in La Porte County and other Northern Indiana locations funded by an Indiana Next Level Connections grant.
