Calix delivers swappable XGS SFP and software
that radically simplifies deployment and management of 10G services
via the GigaSpire BLAST u6x to enable even the smallest broadband
service provider to reduce inventory costs and installation times
by 50 percent while delivering the exceptional experiences
subscribers want today
Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) today enhanced its revolutionary
GigaSpire BLAST u6x system by adding a module that simplifies
broadband operations with a single end-to-end solution—from the
access edge to the subscriber premises. With the modules’ built-in
flexibility, broadband service providers (BSPs) can, for the first
time, choose from several easily swappable small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) modules that support GPON, 10G Active Ethernet, 10G
Ethernet—and now XGS-PON. This enables them to easily address
rapidly growing use cases—from gamers to work-from-homers—that
demand additional bandwidth and blazing fast speeds. The modules
offer improved operational efficiency that allows BSPs to reduce
installation times by up to 50 percent. The SFP modules double the
system’s lifespan compared to a typical system, which provides a
strong hedge against supply chain issues and cuts inventory
management costs in half. Additionally, as an integrated Wi-Fi 6
system, the GigaSpire BLAST u6x reduces power consumption by more
than 50 percent when compared to solutions requiring an ONT and
gateway combination.
Broadband teams face new challenges today as subscribers demand
higher bandwidth to accommodate the ways they live, work, and play.
Now, even the smallest broadband operations teams can now satisfy
these new use cases. The GigaSpire BLAST u6x with an XGS-PON
swappable module, brings a number of benefits to 10G deployments,
enabling broadband operations teams to:
- Shorten installation times 50 percent. For BSPs using
Intelligent Access EDGE, the integrated ONT and residential system
allows BSPs to simply upgrade GPON to XGS-PON with the insertion of
a new SFP module. The rest of the provisioning process is
completely automated, eliminating time consuming multi-step
provisioning that must be coordinated across the network. Further,
as part of the Revenue EDGE, the GigaSpire BLAST u6x runs on the
same common platform as all other GigaSpire BLAST systems, reducing
the initial deployment time by 50 percent.
- Streamline inventory management and cut costs 50
percent. Swappable SFP modules transform the GigaSpire BLAST
u6x into a Wi-Fi 6 system with an integrated ONT and residential
system capable of supporting virtually any access technology. These
small modules eliminate the need to stock multiple systems,
lowering CAPEX. The availability of swappable SFP modules also
extends the lifespan of the BLAST u6x to 10-years, further reducing
inventory and CAPEX.
- Curtail power consumption for a greener network.
Broadband service providers looking to deliver a sustainable
network experience for their climate-conscious subscribers can
count on the BLAST u6x to provide an integrated Wi-Fi 6 system that
reduces power consumption by more than 50 percent versus the need
to have separate ONTs, Wi-Fi systems, and mesh satellites. In fact,
93 percent of subscribers with a single GigaSpire BLAST system do
not need a mesh satellite to achieve full-premises Wi-Fi
coverage.
“We pledged to our customers that we’d deliver 2 Gbps Internet
to the home in 2022, but Calix has helped us do much more than
that,” said Kent Cole, I/R and support supervisor for Mountain
Rural Telephone Cooperative in West Liberty, Kentucky. “With Calix
GigaSpire BLAST u6x and the XGS-PON SFP module, gamers find they
get speeds they’ve never seen before—with no lag. It’s also
completely transformed our field operations. When it comes to
installations, provisioning is done using Calix Support Cloud and
the GigaSpire BLAST connects automatically. The field tech can take
care of provisioning in the office, drive to the customer’s home,
plug in the module, and they’re done. That’s basically unheard of.
We can complete an installation in half the time that it took for a
traditional installation.”
Another BSP that understands the value of this simplified
solution is Mainstay Communications of Henderson, Nebraska, which
is upgrading their full network to XGS-PON. Chris Johnson, general
manager, says every Mainstay internet customer receives a GigaSpire
BLAST u6x system. Deploying a single system with integrated Wi-Fi
and XGS-PON, he says, means he stocks less equipment and cuts his
inventory management costs by nearly half.
“With the new XGS-PON SFP module, we’re providing our customers
with exclusive end-to-end broadband services across the entire 10G
spectrum,” said Shane Eleniak, executive vice president, products,
at Calix. “We designed and built this module to work for all BSPs.
Adding the SFP module extends the benefits of the GigaSpire BLAST
u6x so that BSPs can address a more demanding set of subscriber use
cases. We have successfully laid the foundation for the next
generation of revolutionary Calix innovations that help BSPs
further simplify operations, excite subscribers with an
ever-expanding array of managed services, and grow value for their
communities and themselves.”
