Google, CenturyLink, and Cox bring next-generation Internet to Phoenix

Cox Communications weighs in
Cox Communications, the nation's third-largest Internet provider, has also joined the fight to deliver gigabit service to Phoenix customers. The telecom leader announced in July that customers would receive a boost to their Internet speeds at no extra charge. This bonus came after a May announcement that Cox would deliver gigabit speeds to residential customers by 2015, according to the Phoenix Business Journal.

Arizona residents were given an opportunity to try out gigabit Internet speeds in early August at an interactive exhibit in downtown Phoenix. Visitors were able to compare the download speeds of traditional broadband and gigabit connections side by side. A Cox spokeswoman noted to AZ Central that the company has offered gigabit service to business customers since 2007.

Perle has an extensive range of Managed and Unmanaged Fiber Media Converters to extended copper-based Ethernet equipment over a fiber optic link, multimode to multimode and multimode to single mode fiber up to 160 km.
