Calix, Inc. CALX has announced the successful completion of a trial of its 50G-PON (passive optical network) access solution with Astound, demonstrating a scalable path for broadband providers to expand network capacity and introduce high-speed services without major network overhauls. The trial highlights Calix’s ability to help customers build on existing infrastructure while responding to growing demand for bandwidth-intensive connectivity.
The trial demonstrated that Calix’s 50G-PON technology supports downstream speeds of up to 50 gigabits per second, along with flexible upstream capabilities. The solution allows Astound to pursue growth across residential, business, wholesale and multi-tenant markets while reinforcing the Calix One platform, enabling operators to deploy new access technologies and services without replacing their broader network architecture.
The company’s solution can also operate alongside existing XGS-PON infrastructure while using the same AXOS-powered operational model, workflows and back-office integrations. This compatibility allows providers to add higher-capacity services while preserving their existing network and operational investments.
As demand grows for enterprise connectivity, dedicated access, wholesale transport, mobile x-haul and high-density multi-tenant environments, Calix’s technology can help operators scale their networks while maintaining operational flexibility.
