BUSINESS PROFILES | MAY 2023 | HARTFORD BUSINESS JOURNAL 5 W ith a long history of providing telecommunications services, Cox Business is an established and trusted provider for many organizations today, providing a wide range of carrier-class services. Cox invests significantly in the local markets it serves, spending millions of dollars expanding and upgrading its network with fiber optic technology that serves local businesses and government facilities. Since 1996, Cox has invested more than $15 billion in communities through infrastructure upgrades to deliver video, phone and high-speed internet service to homes and businesses in its service areas. Cox Business is a facilities-based Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC), providing advanced data, voice, video, networking, security and cloud services to more than 355,000 customers in industries ranging from healthcare and hospitality to government and education. Large enterprise companies trust Cox Business – more than 365 of the Fortune 500 have chosen Cox Business as a provider, and that number is growing every day. Cox Business offers one of the most reliable, robust broadband networks in the United States. The backbone of its capability as a communications provider is a self-owned and self-maintained nationwide IP network. Thousands of miles of fiber optic cables make up the Cox system, designed with self-healing, fault-tolerant architecture for enhanced dependability. As a facilities-based CLEC, Cox Business owns its switching equipment and transmission lines, making it possible to provide full-featured telephone, long distance telephone, high-speed internet access and customized data networks.
