Calix adds MDU ONTs to GPON Portfolio

Calix announced a versatile portfolio of gigabit passive optical network (GPON) optical network terminals (ONTs) for the multi-dwelling unit (MDU) and small to mid-sized business markets. The three new products, part of Calix’s 700G family of GPON ONTs, are aimed at the unique requirements of commercial deployment environments, from residential and mixed-use apartment buildings, dormitories, or hospitality locations, to business parks, strip malls, and stand-alone enterprises. Service providers can use the portfolio to offer a mix of services and applications, including IPTV, RF video, gigabit Ethernet, TDM voice, support for DS-1 lines, and even cellular backhaul — all over fiber to the premises (FTTP).

Features and applications of the new Calix 760G ONT portfolio:

The 760G supports eight POTS lines, four 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, four RF video ports, and one hot RF video port; it is designed for MDUs, hospitality, and mixed-use business/residential deployments.

The 762G supports eight POTS lines, eight 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, four RF video ports, and one hot RF video port; it is designed for MDUs, hospitality and mixed-use business/residential deployments.

The 765G supports eight POTS lines, four DS-1 lines, four 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, four RF video ports, and one hot RF video port; it is designed for business and mixed-used business/residential deployments and cellular backhaul applications.

All of the 760G ONTs support 2.5 gigabit per second (Gbps) GPON on the Calix C7 multiservice access platform with Release 6.0 software.
 

Calix is the first company to specifically target the “sweet spot” of the small to mid-sized MDU and business market with a portfolio of ONT products that can accommodate a variety of line-size options and offer the flexibility to address mixed business/residential deployments. As the worldwide leader in GPON ONT deployments (Dell’Oro Group, February 2008), Calix serves an FTTP customer base of hundreds of North American service providers. The company has a history of drawing feedback from its diverse customers and aligning itself with their business interests.
