OUR FOCUS AREAS

CONNECTIVITY

GROWING BUSINESS SERVICES
Our agreement to acquire the commercial services segment of Segra is a big step forward for Cox Business and we expect to close the transaction this year . Segra is a leading fiber-based provider servicing business customers in nine states in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast .
NEW WAYS TO CONNECT
Things are moving at an accelerated pace as Cox Communications explores a new consumer wireless offering . The worlds of wired and wireless communications continue to blend , and we have a solid strategy for competing in wireless and converged connectivity . There ’ s still a lot going on behind the scenes , but look for a pilot launch later this year .
In April 2021 Cox Communications signed an agreement to acquire Segra , one of the largest privately held fiber infrastructure providers in the U . S .
INNOVATIVE THINKING
Need to find a needle in a haystack ? Cox2M provides customers with the turnkey ability to monitor and track commercial assets : Think about finding one specific vehicle in a car lot of thousands . It ’ s also currently conducting a pilot program in Las Vegas with “ smart parking spots ” that use video analytics and curb management technology to better manage traffic congestion and pedestrian safety .
The shape of the internet is evolving . Technologies like augmented reality , Internet of Things and artificial intelligence drive the need for real-time data processing and response from the network . These and other innovations can benefit from Cox Edge , launched this summer . This service leverages Cox ’ s last-mile locations and powerful network to bring compute power and cloud infrastructure closer to the action — to where users are engaging and to where sensor data is being created .
Cox Communications is preparing to launch wireless mobile service to Cox Internet customers .
