On March 28, Comcast Business introduced the Comcast Business Gateway, the company’s first WiFi-6 certified device capable of delivering multi-gigabit speeds to provide superior WiFi connectivity to businesses.
Billed as Comcast Business’s most powerful WiFi device to date, the company says the gateway harnesses the innovation behind Comcast’s xFi Advanced Gateway – which offers a superior in-home WiFi experience – and "applies it for today’s connected workplace to make next-gen speeds a widespread reality."
The Comcast Business Gateway is designed to reduce WiFi interference and increase bandwidth, the better to power highly connected businesses. The company says the gateway's effective range is designed to allow high-performance business users to handle more capacity and faster speeds, including 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and Gig over WiFi to connect up to 150 devices, with ultra-low lag time for applications such as cloud computing, videoconferencing and file transfers.
Key features
The device's static IP features enable always-on services for clients and employees, even outside of the business network, with additional subscriptions.
Meanwhile, with the built-in SecurityEdge subscription, the gateway automatically protects all connected devices at the gateway level from malware and other cybersecurity threats to help keep all devices within the business protected.
Featuring multiple voice ports, a built-in Ethernet switch with two multi-gig ports, eight-hour battery backup for Comcast Business Voice service, and with an industrial design that gives a business flexibility by allowing for wall, rack, and desktop mounting, the company says the new gateway provides a better business WiFi experience "with the fastest speeds, advanced security protection and broad coverage to elevate and protect today’s businesses."
The Comcast Business Gateway is now fully available to businesses throughout the Comcast Business footprint.
“Connectivity is the backbone of business, and as the speed of business accelerates, our customers demand a high-performance technology that can be their workhorse – and their racehorse,” commented Christian Nascimento, vice president, Product Management & Strategy at Comcast Business. “Designed with love from Philadelphia, Comcast Business’s latest gateway enhances business performance through faster and more reliable wireless connectivity, supporting and securing businesses, their customers and employees.”
