Comcast Business and Colt Technology Services are building API-driven interoperability across their networks and service platforms that will allow enterprises operating across North America and Europe to quickly qualify locations, receive quotes and initiate service across both networks in one coordinated experience. The program is designed to be agent-driven, enabling AI agents to help discover, order and fulfill connectivity through governed automation.
Built on Mplify’s Lifecycle Service Orchestration, the program was scoped around a challenge multinational enterprises are navigating right now: how to procure, provision and manage connectivity across multiple carriers and continents without the friction that has traditionally made cross-border network operations slow, manual and expensive, said the companies.
As AI-driven workloads accelerate how quickly enterprises need to deploy and scale infrastructure, they demand connectivity that can be ordered, delivered, and managed as quickly as the applications it supports. The connectivity itself isn’t the challenge – coordinating it across carriers is where enterprises can lose time and money, continued Comcast executives. In turn, the program addresses connects Comcast Business’s digital orchestration platform – which exposes its network capabilities as programmable, standards-based services – with Colt’s international network. The result will give enterprises programmatic access to connectivity across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, replacing manual inter-carrier processes with automated, API-driven workflows. For a multinational enterprise operating across North America and Europe, that means qualifying locations, receiving quotes, and initiating service across networks through a single, coordinated experience. Because the integration is built on open LSO standards, the same model can be extended to additional carriers without custom, one-off development.
“How enterprises build and operate their networks has become one of the most consequential technology decisions a company makes, and our job is to make that radically simpler,” said Bob Victor, Chief Product Officer, Comcast Business
Designed to be agent-driven, the program enables AI agents to help discover, order, and fulfill connectivity through governed automation. The goal is a repeatable model for how leading carriers transact, moving cross-border networking from manual coordination to automated, intent-driven fulfillment. The program will launch with a defined set of products and markets, with the intent to expand toward broader network offerings over time.
Mirko Voltolini, VP, Technology and Innovation, Colt Technology Services, added, “Our vision is simple: global connectivity should be easy. Customers shouldn’t see the boundaries between networks or carriers, they should simply get the connectivity they need, wherever they do business. By linking our platforms through open, standards-based APIs, Colt and Comcast Business are removing complexity, streamlining procurement and service management, and creating an ‘easy button’ for global connectivity. The result is a faster, simpler, and more seamless experience for enterprises.”
