Calix Outperforms on Standards With the World’s Only Systems Portfolio That Is Both TR-369 and TR-398 Certified
March 20 2024 - 1:30PM
Business Wire
Calix remains the industry’s sole company to
achieve Broadband Forum certifications for both TR-369 and TR-398,
extending a longstanding commitment to global industry standards,
while also expanding its TR-069 Calix Cloud certification to
encompass 200 systems across broadband’s only end-to-end
platform
Today, Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) announced it remains the
broadband industry’s only company to hold both the TR-369 and
TR-398 Broadband Forum certifications for its GigaSpire® BLAST
portfolio on the Calix Broadband Platform. This is the most recent
illustration of the company’s long-term and ongoing commitment to
global industry standards. Calix maintains one of only four systems
to achieve TR-369 certification, while simultaneously owning nearly
half of TR-398 compliant systems. By meeting industry
certifications, Calix ensures its United States-based customers can
complete required performance testing for timely broadband funding
opportunities, like the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment
(BEAD) program.
Through a commitment to standardization, Calix continues to
evolve the industry’s only end-to-end broadband platform and Wi-Fi
systems portfolio so broadband service providers (BSPs) worldwide
can simplify their business while rapidly innovating to grow across
residential, business, and community markets.
Calix has a proven record of leadership in supporting and
implementing open global standards. The company’s recent
accomplishments include:
- Achieving TR-369 certification for the GigaSpire BLAST
portfolio. As all GigaSpire BLAST systems run on a common
operating system, the certification extends to the entire
portfolio. This empowers BSPs with the flexibility and quality
control to foster further innovation for the residential subscriber
experience. Notably, the Calix GigaSpire BLAST u4 is one of only
four residential Wi-Fi systems in the industry with TR-369
certification. Calix is also on track to achieve TR-369
certification for Calix Cloud®.
- Outperforming the industry by owning 6 out of the 14 systems
certified by TR-398. GigaSpire BLAST systems carry TR-398 Grade
Wi-Fi certification after surpassing key performance benchmarks.
Under TR-398, 14 unique products are certified. Out of those, six
are Calix systems. The program follows the test plan and evaluates
a Wi-Fi system’s performance against a set of absolute
requirements, including testing for radio frequency (RF)
performance, coverage, capacity, and stability. Only systems that
meet the mandatory requirements of the TR-398 performance test plan
can be included.
Additionally, Calix Cloud—a key component of the Calix Platform
esteemed for delivering critical insights to broadband marketers,
support, and operations teams—is TR-069 certified. Currently, 125
third-party devices are supported. By the end of 2024, Calix will
include 75 more third-party devices with the TR-069 certification
to support 200 total devices. By aligning with Broadband Forum’s
TR-069 certification, Calix is providing a unified cloud
architecture, so BSPs can simplify and streamline how they manage a
broad range of systems to create exceptional subscriber
experiences.
“Standards help increase interoperability, making it easier to
integrate and address multi-vendor scenarios with efficiency,” said
Justin McClung, director of operational support services at
Nex-Tech. “This simplifies how our technical and support teams are
managing the network and leads to better service delivery.
Additionally, certified equipment that aligns with industry
standards offers peace of mind when it comes to things like
reliability, stability, and being on top of the latest innovations
in broadband. This also helps ensure our subscribers enjoy
uninterrupted connected experiences.”
Calix participates in over 30 standards across 7 industry
standards organizations, holding leadership positions at the
Broadband Forum (BBF), the Fiber Broadband Association (FBA), and
the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). By working with
industry leaders and nonprofits, Calix helps develop standards that
enhance safety and ensure interoperability, facilitating a seamless
subscriber experience. The company’s financial contributions,
advocacy for BSP customers, and patent successes highlight its
commitment to promoting industry standards and innovation.
“Global industry standards help ensure investment protection and
compatibility while BSPs adopt innovation,” said Shane Eleniak,
chief product officer at Calix. “As BSPs evolve their networks,
those providers are expecting reliable, efficient technology they
can trust to deliver new experiences to their subscribers. Being
the only company certified for both TR-369 and TR-398 shows the
consistent leadership Calix has dedicated toward standardization,
making compliance a core focus of the industry’s only end-to-end
platform. Each certification keeps Calix at the forefront of
broadband innovation, as we proudly continue to support our BSP
customers who are transforming lives and communities for the
better.”
