Comvergence Leverages Calix AXOS G.fast Solutions to Rapidly Bring Gigabit Speed Potential to Australia MTUs
26 April 2017 - 10:25PM
Calix, Inc. (NYSE:CALX), the world leader in Subscriber Driven
Intelligent Access, announced that fast-growing Australia service
provider Comvergence is successfully rolling out Calix AXOS G.fast
solutions to businesses throughout Australia’s two largest cities.
The first to deploy this groundbreaking technology in both Sydney
and Melbourne, Comvergence is leveraging the Calix AXOS E5-16F
G.fast Node inside multi-tenant unit (MTU) buildings and 801F
GigaPoints at each premises to deliver symmetrical broadband speeds
over the existing copper infrastructure of up to 300 megabits per
second (Mbps), and the capability to deliver a true gigabit
experience to each subscriber if required. Comvergence is also
utilizing the Calix E7-2 Modular Access System for gigabit Ethernet
backhaul over fiber.
Award-winning Calix Elite partner Optical Solutions Australia
(OSA) played a key role in helping Comvergence leverage Calix
anyPHY™ solutions to provide MTU-based small/medium sized
businesses (SMBs), Australia Stock Exchange (ASX) listed companies,
and government entities with the fastest broadband speeds over
copper in the country – more than 12 times the speeds targeted by
NBN Co. In addition, by leveraging SDN-optimized AXOS Activate
software for end-to-end service turn-up and provisioning as well as
leveraging existing in-building copper infrastructure, Comvergence
can stand up new customers in a fraction of the time of its
competition.
“Calix AXOS G.fast solutions gave us a powerful one-two punch in
Australia’s two largest cities – the ability to stand out as the
company capable of deploying not only the fastest and most reliable
business services over copper in the market, but to do so in the
shortest time from order to service delivery,” said Brian Michael,
director at Comvergence. “Once live, Calix solutions have continued
to allow us to distinguish our service with extraordinary always-on
reliability and the ability to easily step-up to the increasing
speeds demanded by our business customers. Given our success in
Sydney and Melbourne, our next step is to pursue opportunities to
extend the powerful Calix solutions in other opportunities
nationally.”
Comvergence has already redefined the business market landscape
in Australia’s two largest markets with Calix AXOS solutions. Next,
this agile service provider stands ready to raise the competitive
bar by potentially leveraging recent enhancements to the unrivalled
Calix G.fast solutions portfolio, including copper bonding
technology capable of doubling currently available broadband speeds
over G.fast, and Calix Collective Dynamic Timing Allocation (cDTA)
technology capable of dynamically reallocating both upstream and
downstream bandwidth to enable maximum performance upstream and
downstream.
“Service providers are constantly looking for innovative new
ways to provide differentiated, cost-effective, fastest-to-market,
and reliable services to their business customers,” said Joseph
Haddad, vice president of international sales at Calix.
“Historically, businesses residing in copper-fed MTUs were
experiencing a digital divide – left behind as their competitors
made the leap to higher speed services and performance. No more, as
Calix AXOS G.fast innovations have allowed service providers like
Comvergence to revolutionize their markets by leveraging existing
copper infrastructure and stand apart from their competitors in
agility, speed, and service quality.”
Calix world-leading G.fast solutions will be on display at stand
1K4-01 at CommunicAsia 2017, May 23-25 at the Marina Bay Sands in
Singapore. Calix will also be sharing its expertise in subscriber
experience optimization and cloud analytics on a panel discussion
entitled “It’s All About the Customers” on May 24 at 2:30 pm
(SGT).
