Hello,

Today another colleague and I discovered the famous 'xfinitywifi' ,'CableWIFi', 'CoxWiFi' and a new one 'XFINITY' on 
our University campus.   After doing some poking around on campus we found these gems (attached picture) on 2 utility poles that pass by our east campus.    
Standing underneath it I got a -46 RSSI in both 5 and 2.4Ghz, maybe 75-100 yards away inside our hockey fieldhouse, through  lots of brick, cinder blocks and 
metal, I was still picking the 2.4Ghz at -64.

Looks like the unit is getting power from the coax.


My question is,   I've done a little poking around and have not found anything substantial to learn more information 
about this Comcast program.


Any insight would be nice!
