Calix Broadens Fiber Access Menu

PETALUMA, Calif. -- Calix, Inc (NYSE: CALX) today announced the availability of three major expansions to its fiber access solutions, which bring industry-leading port density, increased flexibility, and new residential and business solutions to the Calix Unified Access portfolio :

With more density, expanded AE and point-to-point GE services support, and more options added to the industry’s broadest ONT portfolio, Calix continues to enhance the fiber access portfolio deployed by more US communications service providers than any other vendor, and provide its customers with the tools to move “Fiber Forward” in their networks.

“We chose to deploy dedicated gigabit Ethernet over fiber to residences and businesses in the communities we serve because we wanted the maximal flexibility in providing services to customers both now and in the future, and with Calix’s new enhancements to its Active Ethernet portfolio we believe that we now have the tools to make this vision a reality,” said Dennis Hansel, assistant general manager of United Communications in Langdon, North Dakota. “Our serving areas are extremely varied in terms of subscriber density, and the combination of the modularity of the E7, with its ability to efficiently address low line counts in rural parts of our network, and now, with the GE-24 line cards, to scale up to extremely high densities in town, really provides us with a portfolio of flexible options. In addition, new ONT options like the indoor ONT and advanced business Ethernet support allow us tremendous flexibility in optimizing our operations and revenue opportunities – putting us in a position to make our ‘Fiber Forward’ business model a success.”
