Plano, Texas – November 05, 2026 -- Comm1 is deploying Ribbon Communications' optical solutions to modernize its network and add capacity as bandwidth demand grows across its service area, Ribbon (Nasdaq: RBBN) announced.
Ribbon NPT 2100 and 2300 platforms form the new transport layer
The deployment introduces a new network architecture intended to carry growing traffic, mobile backhaul and cloud-connected services. Ribbon's NPT 2100 and 2300 platforms deliver high-capacity IP routing and transport in compact units built for access and aggregation applications. Ribbon says they give Comm1 a path to substantially higher capacity.
Muse automation platform centralizes Comm1's network operations
Ribbon's Muse Multilayer Automation Platform (MAP) adds centralized network management. Its tools cover alarms, events, maintenance and network element management. Ribbon says the combination streamlines Comm1's network engineering and operations while providing the capacity and resiliency needed for service growth.
Comm1 cites its existing Ribbon relationship in vendor choice
Comm1 CEO Randy Yaekel said customers rely on the company for fiber internet, telephone and digital cable services, and that their requirements keep rising. He said the longstanding relationship with Ribbon gave Comm1 the confidence to choose it as its network evolution partner.
Elizabeth Page, Sr. Sales Director at Ribbon, said that preparing for future bandwidth demand takes more than adding capacity. She said pairing Neptune's scalable IP transport with Muse automation helps Comm1 build a more efficient, resilient network while protecting its infrastructure investment.
The companies did not disclose the contract value or a deployment timeline.
