The Intelligent Access Edge Solution brings the benefits of a Layer 3 network architecture, including MPLS routing, to new or existing Layer 2 access networks, thereby radically simplifying the network operations and dramatically reducing TCO and time-to-market.
As networks continue to grow, operators face a variety of architectural challenges leveraging the best of Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking.
Download the whitepaper to learn how service providers are taking advantage of techniques including Layer 2 VPNs and MPLS, VRRP, and ECMP to move network routing closer to the subscriber edge.
Simplify your network by bringing L3 functionality to your distributed Layer 2 access network.
Southern Colorado broadband provider Ciello leverages the Intelligent Access EDGE ASM3001 solution for aggregation, layer 3 routing, and IPv6 support, giving them network reliability, security, and simplicity.
Southeastern Minnesota-based Acentek leverages the Intelligent Access EDGE to increase bandwidth across its network. At 10G, its access system uplinks were full to 50 percent or greater, preventing redundancy failover. Now they can manage their entire access network with common operational procedures and reduce their network elements.
Simplify your network by consolidating service routing, subscriber management, aggregation, and integrated access networks.
Demonstration is a major milestone on the path towards providing higher bandwidth speeds and lower latency to customers over Verizon’s Intelligent Edge Network using AXOS. Verizon and Calix achieved 34 Gbps speeds over fiber optic cable through use of a bonded NG-PON2 (Next-Generation Passive Optical Network 2) ONT (Optical Network Terminal) prototype on Verizon’s simplified, increasingly automated fiber network.
The leading Swiss quadruple-play cable broadband provider is completing a migration from coax-based DOCSIS to fiber, enabling it to offer high speed symmetrical bandwidth and deliver unmatched services to subscribers. At the same time, Calix is helping position WWZ to build an end-to-end, data-driven business and own the subscriber experience.
GLE was looking to meet critical high-bandwidth transport requirements while reducing the number of network elements they needed to manage and maintain, the Calix AXOS E9-2 and the AXOS Routing Protocol Module with OSPF enabled GLE to meet their goals and deliver an excellent subscriber experience.
Broadband is the new utility of our times and residents of rural towns and communities need it just like those in the urban cities. Rural electric companies, like BrightRidge, Johnson City, TN are stepping up to meet the demand.
AXOS and the E9-2 Intelligent Edge System are enabling BrightRidge to roll out their new 1G and 10G services faster and more efficiently than ever before.

The modularity of the system extends beyond hardware. Powered by AXOS, the E9-2 Intelligent Edge System delivers on the promise of Software Defined Access. The fast, always-on, and simple network provides a stateful system that allows incremental enhancements or feature additions. AXOS componentized nature ensures the E9-2 is ideally suited for virtualized functions in a complex network environment. The E9-2 with AXOS can accelerate network transformation by seamlessly coexisting with virtualized architectures, ultimately driving operational complexity and cost out of networks.
Fast. Always On. Simple.
With AXOS, back office integration has never been easier. Use AXOS Sandbox to build a virtual edge-to-edge Software Defined Access network that speeds OSS integration and software certification with dramatic economic results.
As the Internet continues to evolve, broadband subscribers are using more bandwidth and demanding better performance, especially as they embrace new applications that offer unique virtual experiences. Augmented and virtual reality, Cloud TV and gaming, and teleservices like health and online education—the growing popularity of these and other next-generation applications is placing a strain on service provider networks. Download the Solution Brief below to read more about how Calix and the Intelligent Access Edge can help you meet your subscribers' demand for an always-on network.
AXOS’s modular architecture enables you to easily simplify your network and quickly add new services and capabilities.
AXOS modular architecture allows service providers to choose the network architecture that fits their deployment scenarios, from a traditional Layer 2 network architecture to a simplified layer 3 network architecture that enables consolidation of subscriber-related functions.
