Comcast Installs First Connecticut Fiber-to-the-Unit Project in New Haven

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast today announced that Centerplan's College & Crown project in New Haven is the first customer in Connecticut to leverage XFINITY Communities' Advanced Communities Network to provide fiber to the unit. The XFINITY Communities business unit is focused on providing XFINITY services to apartment/condo complexes, communities with single-family homes, healthcare facilities and student housing units.

College & Crown is located in an area where New Haven's primary business district and retail corridor meets with Yale University. The property includes 160 apartments ranging from studios to two-bedroom units and also includes 20,000 square feet of retail space and structured parking. It is located at 200 College Street, on the corner of College and Crown Streets.

XFINITY's Advanced Communities Network is a fiber-based infrastructure that can be customized for select individual property owners, including the deployment of "move-in-ready" gigabit-capable solutions that will support gigabit speeds when DOCSIS 3.1 technology is available. All of XFINITY Communities solutions provide a path for owners to offer their residents the capability for gigabit speeds.

"Whether it's gigabit speeds, XFINITY's one-of-a-kind X1, digital voice or cutting-edge home security and automation, XFINITY Communities can deliver property owners with best-in-class service," said Michael Parker, senior vice president of Comcast's Western New England Region, which is based in Connecticut. "For large properties like College & Crown, we can customize delivery using the infrastructure technology that best suits the owner's and tenants' needs."

Additionally, XFINITY Communities gives property owners the opportunity to provide customized XFINITY services as an amenity to their residents. Today's services include XFINITY TV, Internet, X1, XFINITY WiFi services for common areas and more.
