Comcast:

  • Provides speeds up to 100 Gbps and a suite of advanced telecommunications services for businesses.
  • Has completed multiple network extensions across Northern Indiana since 2015, bringing fiber directly to business and industrial corridors in Crown Point, Elkhart, Gary, Griffith, Hammond, Highland, Middlebury, Portage, Schererville, South Bend, Wakarusa, Warsaw and other locations.
  • Manages an extensive WiFi network with more than 20 million Xfinity WiFi hotspots nationwide – nearly 150,000 in Northern Indiana alone – which allow connectivity on the go.

Investing to help Northern Indiana businesses compete locally, nationally and even internationally

Just last year, Comcast Business announced the addition of more than seven miles of fiber in key Northern and Northwest Indiana business and industrial areas. The new advanced network infrastructure will reach hundreds of businesses in the following locations:

  • Hammond, at the Briar East Shopping Center area along South Grand Avenue and East 169th Street and at the Digital Crossroad Data Center on Indianapolis Boulevard;
  • Middlebury, in a business area between County Road 2 and County Road 4 along State Road 131;
  • Portage, in an industrial area along Shepherd Avenue and Marineview Street off State Highway 249;
  • Schererville, serving the Shoppes at Schererville area near Indianapolis Boulevard and Cedar Parkway;
  • Wakarusa, serving a business area located at East Waterford Street and Nappanee Street; and
  • Warsaw, in the Silveus Crossing industrial area, between County Road W 300 N and State Highway 30. This expansion is the third phase of a major multi-year Comcast network expansion, including a retail area at North Detroit Street and Route 30 and a manufacturing and business area at North Boeing Road and North Bell Drive that were completed in 2017.

“Expanding broadband for Hoosier communities in need of a reliable and fast internet connection is a top priority,” said Indiana District 4 State Rep. Ed Soliday, chair of the Indiana House Utilities, Energy and Telecommunications Committee. “With Comcast adding new fiber connections at the Digital Crossroad Data Center and throughout Northern Indiana, hundreds of employers, workers and families will benefit, while also making our communities more attractive to job providers and spurring economic development.”

“The expansion of Comcast Business’ fiber network in Northwest Indiana will strengthen the region’s profile and help it continue to compete for companies in a number of key sectors, from manufacturing, distribution and warehousing to customer support/call centers and healthcare,” said Heather Ennis, President and CEO of Northwest Indiana Forum. “We appreciate Comcast’s ongoing investment in the region and its impact on our economy.”
