Comcast’s 10G expansion will begin in Kingwood and reach an estimated 24,000 homes and...
and nearby rural communities. In Lake Houston, providers such as Tachus and Comcast are already installing equipment to bring 10G to the area.
The 10G infrastructure is a network of cables made of hybrid fiber, a material that delivers faster internet speeds, that may be installed underground or above ground. The network uses a combination optical fiber and coaxial cable technology. The “G” in 10G stands for gigabits—not to be confused with the “G” in 5G, which stands for generation.
To date, the state is seeking $3 billion in Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program funding and another $500.5 million in Treasury Capital Projects Funds. “Think of it as installing fiber highways—some are above ground, some are below ground," Kallergis said."In total, we are installing 1,000 miles of it in order to reach those homes.”
