Calix is first systems vendor to achieve end-to-end solution certification from DPU to Gfast modem
PETALUMA, CA – June 21, 2017 – Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX), the world leader in Subscriber Driven Intelligent Access, today announced that the AXOS E5-16F Gfast Node and the 801F GigaPoint are the first end-to-end solutions to be successfully certified as part of the inaugural Gfast certification program from the Broadband Forum (BBF) and the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL). In addition, for multi-vendor Gfast interoperability, the AXOS E5-16F was certified in a pairing with CPE from Arris. This inaugural certification is an important milestone for the industry, signaling market readiness for certified end-to-end and multi-vendor deployment, and underpins the ability for service providers to leverage their existing copper infrastructure to deliver a gigabit experience to subscribers. Calix has been involved in the development of the certification program at the BBF since its inception, helping to establish the interoperability of Gfast vendors, and is proud to be part of the first certification wave. With this foundation in place, Calix AXOS enabled anyPHY™ capabilities allow the company to stand ready to rapidly address future enhancements to Gfast technology and quickly move through certification.
