Calix%2C+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.
