Comcast Business: Two Decades of Powering Pittsburgh’s Innovation Economy

As Comcast Business approaches its 20-year milestone, our story is one of transformation – both our own and that of the businesses we serve. What began in 2006 with foundational connectivity for small businesses has evolved into a global technology platform trusted by organizations of every size, from local shops on Main Street, to industry-defining global enterprises. 

From Connectivity Provider to Technology Partner

The technology landscape has changed wildly over two decades. Businesses now operate in a world shaped by cloud applications, cybersecurity threats, mobile workforces, and AI-powered automation.

Comcast Business has responded with significant investment in our network, solutions, and capabilities. Our platform today brings together advanced connectivity, secure networking, AI-enhanced reliability, and world-class technology partnerships. From SD-WAN and SASE to multi-gig symmetrical speeds and enterprise-grade WiFi , we provide the performance, security, and resilience organizations need to grow confidently in a digital-first economy. 

Powering the Businesses that Power Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh’s economy is powered by a diverse mix of industries – healthcare, higher education, manufacturing, logistics, sports, retail, and a fast-growing tech sector. Comcast Business is proud to serve them all. 

Small Businesses – the restaurants, retailers, service providers, and entrepreneurs at the heart of every neighborhood – rely on our advanced, affordable solutions. Our small business portfolio delivers fast, reliable connectivity; full-coverage WiFi; Wireless Connect for always-on reliability; Comcast Business Mobile; and advanced cybersecurity protection. These solutions help local business owners stay connected, protected, and competitive. 

For example, Philly Originals, a popular Beaver County sandwich shop, transformed its business after adopting advanced technology solutions from Comcast Business. By modernizing operations and enhancing the customer experience, they achieved reliable 24/7 connectivity and mobile flexibility with Comcast Business Mobile – paving the way for expansion to a second location. Their success illustrates our commitment to empowering small businesses with affordable, innovative tools to grow and thrive.

At the same time, large, complex enterprises across the region depend on our high-capacity fiber networks, managed connectivity, and global secure networking solutions. From mission-critical infrastructure like hospitals and public agencies to large venues such as PPG Paints Arena, our solutions keep operations, applications, and customer experiences running seamlessly.

A Local Commitment Backed by Global Strength

Nearly half of businesses in Greater Pittsburgh already rely on Comcast Business for connectivity and cybersecurity – a testament to the trust earned by our local teams. While Comcast Business serves more than 2.7 million business customers across 130 countries – including 76% of the Fortune 500 – our commitment to Pittsburgh remains deeply local. Our regional teams understand the unique dynamics of this market and provide hands-on support to businesses across the area. Their work is strengthened by the scale of our global technology platform that integrates top technologies, industry-leading vendors, and deep expertise – all through one trusted partner. 

This model eliminates complexity for our customers. Whether a business is a single storefront or a multi-site enterprise, Comcast Business provides simplicity, unified technology, and a single point of accountability in an increasingly fragmented market. 

Twenty Years of Progress – and a Future Built for Growth

Pittsburgh is a city defined by reinvention. Its businesses are embracing new technologies, new industries, and new ways of working. Comcast Business is proud to support its continued evolution. For two decades, we have invested in the region’s digital infrastructure and partnered with companies driving economic growth and innovation. 

As the next era of AI, automation, and cybersecurity reshapes how organizations operate, we are committed to delivering advanced solutions and local expertise that help Pittsburgh’s businesses grow, compete, and lead. 

At Comcast Business, we’re honored to power the businesses that power Pittsburgh – and we look forward to supporting their success for decades to come.
