Cox Business Doubles Internet Speeds at Las Vegas Convention Center
Cox Business/Hospitality Network, a provider of telecommunications to the commercial services and gaming-resort verticals, doubled the speed of three tiers of its wired internet packages available to exhibitors, show management and other users at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
While the internet speed is doubling, there will be no additional costs for the faster service, creating an immediate value to end-users of the wired high-speed Internet product.
"As the provider of Advanced Convention Services, Cox Business is extremely pleased to implement a no-cost speed increase at the Las Vegas Convention Center." said Derrick Hill, vice president of Cox Business/Hospitality Network in Las Vegas.
He added, "This implementation enhances value for convention exhibitors and elevates the attractiveness of the Las Vegas Convention Center as a top-tier convention destination for trade shows with their ever increasing demand for robust internet technology."
The speed increases will involve three tiers of wired internet in both the "shared bandwidth" and "dedicated bandwidth" service tiers. Five of the service tiers are being increased by 100 percent while the tier offering 10 Mbps of dedicated bandwidth will be augmented by 125 percent to 25 Mbps.
