Press Release
Mediacom Communications recently announced the company has completed the transition of its West Des Moines network to the cable industry’s new 10G Platform. Consumers in West Des Moines can now enjoy the immediate benefits from this breakthrough technology including up to 2x-to-20x faster upload speeds, new symmetrical speed offerings, new multi-Gig download capabilities, increased energy efficiency, lower latency, faster troubleshooting, and greater network reliability, the company said.
With completion of the West Des Moines market, Mediacom will begin transitioning additional Iowa communities to the 10G Platform beginning with the cities of Bertram, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Fairfax, Hiawatha, and Marion as well as portions of unincorporated Linn County.
The scalability of the 10G Platform will seamlessly allow Mediacom to ramp up from the 1-gigabit offerings of today to speeds of 10 gigabits per second and beyond in the coming years. Since this new 10G technology is delivered using Mediacom’s existing fiber-rich network architecture and the connections already installed at most customers’ homes, it is not necessary to dig up yards to add bulky equipment or bury cables.
“We are incredibly excited to announce that Mediacom’s West Des Moines network has been fully transitioned to the game-changing 10G Platform,” said Steve Purcell, Group VP of Mediacom’s Capital Region. “Our dedicated team is thrilled to bring this breakthrough technology to even more Iowa communities in the months ahead.”
