The world of work and the economy has changed dramatically in recent years. Employees are logging on from home to complete projects and handle routine tasks. Meetings have moved from conference rooms to mobile devices, with participants sometimes spread out across multiple cities and states. When a customer makes a purchase at a store or restaurant, he or she is just as likely to pay with their phone as with a credit card.
Through it all, Cox Business has made it a priority to create services and products that meet these changing needs for businesses of all sizes. From local restaurants and boutique stores to large companies with hundreds of employees and customers, Cox Business has a history of serving the companies and people that make up our local economies. That commitment has only been enhanced in today’s world.
It starts with a robust backhaul system that keeps businesses connected no matter what. This infrastructure has multiple bandwidth solutions and can be scaled as businesses grow. The system also has dozens of connection points to ensure that companies can stay online with minimal delays.
This system helps support Cox Business voice and internet services that keep employees on task no matter what.

Voice tools mean that customer calls to an office can be automatically forwarded to a person’s cell phone or chosen land line.
