Comcast adds wireless gateway service for dual-band Wi-Fi

Comcast Business announced its wireless gateway service with an integrated modem for dual-band Wi-Fi signals for enterprises.

John Guillaume, vice president of Product Development, Comcast Business, said: “Many different types of customers – coffee shops, law firms, real estate offices, gyms, libraries and more – want to attract and retain visitors to their location and give employees the tools they need to be more productive.”

The Business Wireless Gateway allows entrepreneurs to assign one private wireless signal for their back-office needs and a separate public signal (Xfinity WiFi) for customers or visitors.

The company said this device (in pix) and Business WiFi service are included with most Comcast Business Internet plans, and Comcast Business supports the device and provides customer service 24/7.

Matt Davis, director of Consumer and Small Business Telecom Services at IDC, said: “Business Wireless Gateway gives SMBs a single box solution to quickly set up both public and private Wi-Fi, with public access being managed and maintained over the Comcast network. This can alleviate security concerns because customers are not accessing the same Wi-Fi network that your employees are.”
