Comcast and DriveNets today announced that Comcast will use DriveNets' Network Cloud solution to expand the trial of Janus, its initiative to virtualize and embed AI innovation through the core of its network to maximize performance and continue delivering superior Internet connectivity.

Comcast launched the first trial of Janus in Atlanta in September 2024, making it one of the first network operators in the world to virtualize and disaggregate the core of its transport network to further enhance the flexibility, reliability, and resiliency of its connectivity offerings for both Xfinity and Comcast Business customers.
DriveNets' cloud-based capabilities allow Comcast to independently manage the hardware and software that make up its network, also known as "disaggregation". Separating these functions unlocks the ability to virtualize every layer of the network – from the core to the edge – and perform those tasks in the cloud. This software-defined approach maximizes network performance, makes it easier to integrate AI-powered self-healing capabilities, enables more dynamic improvements to the customer experience, and is expected to improve efficiency.
