Comcast to Expand Fiber Optic Network in Pennsylvania

Comcast Business today announced it will invest $450,000 to expand its fiber-optic cable network in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Capable of delivering up to 100 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps) of network capacity, the fiber optic Ethernet network expansion will support advanced services and give Comcast the ability to give new customers, ranging from small and medium-sized organizations to large enterprises, quick access to its network.

As part of the expansion, an additional 3.3 miles of fiber will be installed in Chambersburg’s eastern corridors, from the intersection of Walker Road and Norland Avenue southwest along Walker Road to Phoenix Drive and northwest along Norland Avenue to Fifth Avenue, with extensions along all of Gateway Avenue and portions of Parkwood Drive and Fifth Avenue.

“This is among the most significant infrastructure investments our regional Comcast Business team has made across the Keystone Region, and we’re proud to push our network deeper into Chambersburg to help the city’s economic growth,” said Toni Murphy, regional vice president for Comcast Business.

Last year, the Keystone Region Comcast Business team completed the company’s first 100 Gbps network in the Eastern United States, connecting Penn State University’s data center with its Milton S. Hershey Medical Center facility.
