Comcast Biz Taps Cisco for Private/Public WiFi

Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) Business has launched a wireless gateway service built specifically for a commercial environment with an integrated modem equipped to produce dual WiFi signals. The Business Wireless Gateway, developed by Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), is designed to allow businesses to assign one private wireless signal for their back-office needs and a separate public signal (Xfinity WiFi) for customers or visitors.

The device and Business WiFi service is included with most Comcast Business Internet plans, and Comcast Business supports the device and service 24/7. No additional equipment or routers are required; the public and private WiFi networks, available through one device, are set up by Comcast Business technicians. Businesses receive two logins to access Xfinity WiFi hotspots for business or personal purposes while on the go.
