The latest updates to the Calix Aggregation
Service Manager enable a dramatically simplified network
architecture and deliver a common subscriber management approach
for both new and existing networks that reduces software fees by up
to 95 percent
Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) has once again revolutionized the
architecture of the subscriber-facing network by moving the
subscriber management function closer to the subscriber for both
new and existing networks. With this latest release, the AXOS®
Subscriber Management Module (SMm) is now available on the Calix
Aggregation Service Manager (ASM3001), enabling communications
service providers (CSPs) to aggregate and manage subscribers across
legacy and new networks in one integrated framework. This
combination of SMm, the E9-2 Intelligent Edge System, and the
ASM3001 allows CSPs to place critical network functions close to
the subscriber. As a result, the integrated Intelligent Access EDGE
solution improves network security, reduces latency, and eliminates
the need for up to 87 percent of the systems required in
traditional subscriber-facing networks.
Service providers of all types and sizes are evolving to match
growing bandwidth demand and differentiate their service offerings.
These enhancements to the Intelligent Access EDGE solution enable a
CSP to bring 100G aggregation to the access network. More
importantly, they simplify network architectures and reduce the
total cost of ownership. Because the consolidation of critical
network functions can reduce the number of required systems by more
than 87 percent, CSPs can build new networks at a significantly
lower capital cost. With the combination of SMm and the E9-2
ASM3001, CSPs can also eliminate as much as 95 percent of the
recurring fees associated with the software currently required to
operate their networks. Finally, by combining subscriber management
functions, CSPs can reduce the steps required to provision
subscriber services to six—nearly an 80 percent decrease.
Tennessee-based Highland Telephone Cooperative (HTC) is a
longtime Calix customer that has migrated to a 100 percent
fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband network. As its membership and
demands for bandwidth continue to grow, the cooperative partnered
with Calix to transform their network.
“Bandwidth demands and our company growth have triggered the
need to upgrade our access network transport, so our first step was
to speak to our trusted partner, Calix,” said Jared Carson, chief
operating officer for HTC. “Their professional services team
suggested bringing 100G aggregation, Layer 3 and subscriber
management closer to the subscriber with the E9-2 system and the
ASM3001. Not only are we building added capacity into our network,
but we are also implementing an end-to-end solution that improves
operational efficiency, network security, and network reliability.
This network is an investment in the future of our business and
will enable us to ensure we exceed the expectations of all of our
members—now and in the future.”
Once HTC has its 100G transport running, it will focus on
improving traffic management and network efficiency, as well as
simplifying tasks like IP address management and eliminating the
need for additional network elements. The improvements in IP
utilization will enable HTC to recover stranded IP addresses,
eliminating the need and cost to purchase additional ones.
“We are delighted to partner with our customers and provide
solutions that enable them not only to deliver the services their
subscribers demand, but also to help them build successful
businesses,” said Michel Langlois, chief development officer
Intelligent Access EDGE products for Calix. “This new simplified
subscriber management solution is the next step in implementing our
vision of helping CSPs reduce network elements, decrease
operational costs with advanced insights and workflow
simplification, and deliver exceptional subscriber experiences. Our
most recent cadence releases have grown our Layer 3 and subscriber
management functionality with SMm significantly, and we are excited
for our customers like HTC to see the benefits of these
capabilities.”
