AXOS E9-2 Intelligent EDGE System

Building a successful broadband network to grow your business

Get insights to help you design the optimal architecture for your network of the future, focusing on  scalability, security, and efficiency. Collapse subscriber and network functions into the fewest network components, giving you the lowest cost-per-bit-per-mile simplified access infrastructure

Can your network keep up with tomorrow's, and even today’s applications?

 

The last network you'll ever need

5G, AR/VR, Cloud Gaming,  and Telemedicine are just examples of what is and will continue to challenge your network. Watch this video to learn more about what you can do to get ahead of these new applications and reduce operations expenses by up to 40 percent. 

One system, two ways to simplify​

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.

 

Bring scale, resiliency, and efficiency to your network: routing at the network edge

Calix AXOS E9-2 Intelligent EDGE System: ASM3001

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.

Seamlessly support your transition to IPv6

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. 

Transform your network to lead in the world of 100G and beyond

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.

Are you ready to deliver 10G services where no OLT has gone before?

Verizon and Calix deliver 34 Gbps over fiber with bonded ONT technology

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.

WWZ cuts operating costs in half as it partners with Calix to build a future-proof broadband business

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.

 
 
 

Great Lakes Energy (GLE) builds a simplified next generation network

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.    

 

Electric Companies, bringing broadband to rural residents

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.

 

BrightRidge talks about how AXOS is simplifying their deployments

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.
