Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner and Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce President Brittnie Bassant recently met with Comcast Florida leaders to discuss the company’s pilot project in the city. As part of the new initiative, the technology leader’s construction crews installed telecommunications lines underground in two locations. They did so with one goal in mind. Make it easier than ever for businesses and communities to connect to Comcast Business and Xfinity services.
During the initial phase, Comcast crews placed brand-new fiber lines beneath alleyways, at Ocean Court and Collins Court near 8th Street. The team also installed access points, so technicians can easily tap into the fiber lines — without the need to tear up the street in the future. This new infrastructure will help reduce and speed up installation times for Comcast Business and Xfinity customers. The investment hopes to beautify parts of Miami Beach by removing any visual clutter. It also provides additional safeguards for Comcast’s network, to help reduce any service interruptions.
Mayor Meiner spoke with Comcast’s Regional Senior Vice President Jeff Buzzelli and his team about the project. Meiner expressed his gratitude for the company’s commitment to keep Miami Beach both beautiful and better connected. Given the pilot program’s initial success, crews will expand their work to four more locations.
The construction represents a significant financial investment from Comcast. The ongoing work gives Miami Beach residents another option for their internet service provider, allowing them access to a next-generation network that keeps them connected to the moments that matter most.
