The Calix Broadband Platform significantly
outperforms the European Commission’s “Broadband Communication
Equipment Codes of Conduct,” for energy efficiency, enabling
broadband providers to develop greener networks across Europe that
require half the energy of traditional access networks
Today, Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) announced its significant
achievement in outperforming the European Commission’s “Broadband
Communication Equipment Codes of Conduct,” for energy efficiency.
The Calix Broadband Platform not only meets but surpasses the
European Commission’s power consumption targets for network and
customer equipment, enabling broadband service providers (BSPs)
across Europe to deploy environmentally responsible networks using
sustainable innovations and supply chains. Calix collaborates with
the European Commission and industry stakeholders to identify
energy-efficient technologies and set new goals to reduce broadband
power consumption to help make Europe the first carbon-neutral
continent.
Europe-based BSPs leveraging the Calix Platform—which includes
Calix Cloud®, Unlimited Subscriber™, and Intelligent Access™—can
deliver broadband services more sustainably. Intelligent Access
enables BSPs to deploy broadband networks with up to 50 percent
less power consumption than traditional networks. The E9-2, E7-2,
and E3-2 Intelligent Access systems help BSPs lower power
consumption and minimize space usage. Additionally, Unlimited
Subscriber helps subscribers cut broadband power consumption in
half by reducing power usage and extending home Wi-Fi coverage.
Germany-based Vattenfall Eurofiber leverages the Calix Platform
to contribute to a sustainable future for their communities.
Vattenfall runs an advanced open-access fiber network in Berlin
that serves hundreds of thousands of households and businesses,
delivering speeds up to 10G. Their network is built on Intelligent
Access E7-2 XG801 and powered by the Network Innovation Operating
System (AXOS).
“Building and operating an environmentally friendly broadband
network that contributes to a sustainable future for Berlin is
important to us,” said Marco Sick, chief executive officer of
Vattenfall Eurofiber GmbH. “We are deeply committed to running a
future-proof fiber network that will provide fast and reliable
connectivity to at least half a million residences and businesses
throughout Berlin. Since we began leveraging Intelligent Access, we
have seen OPEX and CAPEX reduced year-over-year.”
Calix’s commitment to broadband energy reduction is one of many
initiatives led by its office of sustainability, headed by Martha
Galley, executive vice president.
“Calix’s sustainability strategy is based on a ‘triple bottom
line’ approach comprising people, planet, and partnership,” said
Galley. “We focus on environmental responsibility through
efficient, recyclable products and a supply chain that considers
the long-term impact of our products on the communities where they
are deployed. We also prioritize fair treatment and diversity in
our workforce, and we value collaborative partnerships with our
customers built on shared success and increased value to their
subscribers.”
By participating in the “Broadband Communication Equipment Codes
of Conduct,” Calix is supporting the European Commission in greatly
reducing the EU’s broadband electricity consumption to 25 TWh per
year, which would result in annual power savings of EUR7.5 billion
($8.2 billion). Calix continues to collaborate with other global
programs to enable more BSPs to build greener, sustainable networks
as they connect subscribers and communities to the world.
“Our commitment to the EU codes of conduct for broadband
equipment is yet another proof point of our focus on ensuring our
customers can run healthy broadband businesses that deliver
incredible value to their subscribers and communities—just as
Vattenfall has in Berlin,” said Galley.
