Spectrum Business Enterprise Solutions continues to build out its high-speed fiber network infrastructure to support the St. Louis area business community. Currently more than 75% of the businesses, 80% of K-12 schools and 78% of financial organizations are within GIG+ accessible areas in the St. Louis metro area.[1] As an active member of the St. Louis community, Spectrum Business Enterprise Solutions seeks to help businesses and local government fuel economic growth and innovation by providing access to more than 2,700 miles of high-speed, fiber-based connectivity for all sizes of businesses, in all industries in the St. Louis metro area.

Enterprises and public sector organizations seeking to capitalize on the digital economy by doubling down on cloud applications, big data analytics, mobility and video need to ensure they have the network scale and reliability to support these dynamic applications.

We look forward to continued partnership with the St. Louis community to provide the high-speed communications solutions that enable businesses to accomplish aggressive goals, maximize productivity and save money.

  • Be designed for cloud readiness, which will be the standard for most data storage and retrieval within the next five years
  • Support demand of ever-increasing device connectivity to eliminate the strain of typical network infrastructures
  • Handle the bandwidth to access big data sets instantly to be proactive not reactive when making analytically driven decisions across the Internet of Things
