Charter’s Spectrum Business Adds Managed Networks and RingCentral UC for California Agencies
Charter’s Spectrum Business added Managed Network Services, Unified Communications with RingCentral and direct fiber connectivity into the California Government Enterprise Network under the CALNET contract for state and local agencies. These services enable streamlined management and modernization of complex networks without agency equipment ownership.
1. CALNET Contract Expansion
Charter’s Spectrum Business secured an extension to the California Network and Telecommunications contract, enabling state and local agencies to access its newly expanded portfolio of technology services. This move positions Spectrum Business as a key provider for government IT modernization projects across the state.
2. Managed Network Services and RingCentral UC
The offering now includes end-to-end Managed Network Services that offload network operations from agency IT teams, plus Unified Communications powered by RingCentral with cloud-hosted VoIP, virtual meeting rooms, instant messaging and collaboration tools tailored for distributed workforces.
3. Direct Fiber Connectivity into CGEN
Spectrum Business delivers dedicated fiber links into the California Government Enterprise Network data center, allowing agencies to route data through Spectrum’s equipment without on-premise infrastructure. This simplifies network scaling, enhances security and reduces capital expenditure on hardware.
4. Strategic Impact and Outlook
By broadening its CALNET offerings, Spectrum Business aims to capture a larger share of government IT spending and accelerate digital transformation for public-sector clients. The enhanced solutions are expected to drive recurring revenue growth and strengthen Charter’s enterprise services segment.
