100G Evolution at Comcast

Benjamin Vik, Comcast

Benjamin Vik has worked as a network engineer for both large and small service providers, allowing him to gain a wide perspective on network deployment; starting at the below ground level(literally) and extending to his current position designing network augments for the Comcast National Backbone. While working for smaller companies, he was exposed to all sides of the business including, but not limited to, Engineering, Operations, Sales, Support, and OSP build outs. His many experiences allow him to engineer designs at a high level, yet keep in mind the processes and needs of the other facets of the business. In 2010, Ben moved away from the “Jack of all Trades” role commonly found in smaller service providers, and settled into the more tightly focused role of Transport Engineer at Lightower. In that position, he was able to refine his skills in designing and implementing optical networks. Ben is currently one of three Principle Transport Engineers on the National Backbone Team at Comcast where he continues to enhance the existing backbone as well as aid in the design of the next generation Comcast Transport Backbone through the use of the latest technologies available from optical vendors.
