Comcast is deploying Qwilt’s open edge platform to bolster its distributed content delivery network (CDN) in the United States. This move is part of Comcast’s strategy to improve content delivery quality through cutting-edge innovation. Elad Nafshi, Chief Network Officer at Comcast, explained, “By deploying distributed access architecture and virtualization, we are placing the brains of our network closer to customers and paving the way for opportunities like this deployment with Qwilt.
We’re tapping into the incredible power of edge compute to build a leading content delivery network that provides substantial benefits to our customers and to the content providers who rely on our network.”
Earlier this summer, Comcast introduced enhanced 4K services through Xfinity.

This included 4K video delivered at the highest bitrate over Comcast’s network, Dolby Vision HDR, Dolby Atmos spatial audio, and ultra-low latency, delivering video seconds behind live action.
Alon Maor, CEO of Qwilt, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “We’re incredibly excited to work with Comcast, a pioneer of technological innovation in the industry. By leveraging open caching, Comcast utilizes its strengths as a major network operator, actively shaping efficient content delivery and opening new avenues within this value chain. This initiative enhances our expansive global edge network, a critical step toward our aim of delivering exceptional digital experiences.”
The deployment of Qwilt’s platform marks another milestone in Comcast’s ongoing efforts to transform content delivery through advanced technologies.
