COX BUSINESS COMPLETES MORE THAN SEVEN-MILE, $3 MILLION FIBER BUILD AT POWAY BUSINESS PARK

Cox Business has completed a $3 million build-out of more than seven miles of its fiber network at the Poway Business Park, bringing advanced Internet, phone and video services to businesses that previously had limited technology options.

Located between Interstate 15 and State Route 67 near Scripps Poway Parkway, the Poway Business Park is home to approximately 400 local, national and international businesses that range from clothing and drone manufacturers to real estate, insurance and legal services.

The multi-million-dollar fiber build increases the network miles of fiber that run through Poway, and the San Diego region, and gives businesses in Poway a high-quality fiber option, whether they’re a small-, medium-, or large-sized company.

“Cox has served the residents of Poway for many years, but we also serve the businesses community. It’s important that businesses have access to the latest technology and services available for their success and growth,” said Larry Coval, Vice President of Cox Business in San Diego, the division of Cox Communications that serves commercial customers.

“Poway is known as one of California’s most business-friendly communities, and having a state-of-the-art fiber network in the Poway Business Park reinforces that reputation,” said Steve Vaus, mayor of Poway. “We thank Cox Business for its investment in the business park, and for its continued investment in the city of Poway, to ensure that our local businesses have access to the very best data, phone and video services.”

Cox Business provides Internet, phone, video and networking solutions for businesses large and small. These solutions can help businesses with several technology needs, including:
- Internet speeds up to 10 gigabits, the ability to connect multiple locations (even across the U.S./Mexico border) and teleconferencing;
- Phone services such as IP Centrex, an advanced, fully-hosted phone solution that makes managing phone systems less of a hassle;
- TV packages for every need, from corporate offices to bars and restaurants.

“The Poway Business Park has played a pivotal role in Poway’s economic growth and ability to attract world-class businesses to the city,” said Dolores Canizales, CEO of the Poway Chamber of Commerce. “Cox Communications’ significant investment in building its fiber network and increasing competitive alternatives for its tenants will go a long way to ensure the business park’s continued growth and success."

Nationwide, Cox Communications has invested $15 billion in the last decade to deliver broadband infrastructure to businesses and residents, and has led the nation in residential Gigabit Internet service. Cox offers GigablastSM today in parts of San Diego and Irvine, Calif. and in 11 states across the country. The service will be available in all of Cox’s markets by the end of 2016.

Cox Business provides Internet, phone and video services to more than 350,000 small and regional businesses nationwide, including healthcare providers, the military, K-12 and higher education, financial institutions, and federal, state and local government agencies. Cox Business also serves most of the top tier wireless and wireline telecommunications carriers in the U.S. through its wholesale division, has been consistently ranked as one of the top Ethernet providers, and has received multiple honors for customer satisfaction among business communications companies.
