Calix is the most widely deployed fiber access vendor in North America, with more than 1,000 service provider customers. Calix has a long history of innovation in fiber access, including our unique auto-detect technology supporting both GPON or point-to-point Gigabit Ethernet.
Leveraging unique Calix auto-detect optics, the Calix 700GEs are the industry's only ONTs to support GPON and point-to-point gigabit Ethernet in a single ONT. This delivers unmatched flexibility to service providers looking to meet the broad service demands. The result: More efficient network management and operations models, complete service flexibility enables the 700GE ONTs to support different service models cost effectively.
The other unique advantage of 700GE ONTs is the ability to upgrade to a Residential Services Gateway (RSG) via a software download. This feature also provides a flexible provisioning model that supports a variety of in-home networking deployment models.

Multi-dwelling units present a particularly challenge environment for fiber access as the distance from building entrance to the living unit is greater than SFU, and every MDU is unique. Calix has designed a variety of solutions to address the MDU environment. These solutions provide Ethernet, voice, and RF video to MDU in a range of 4/8/12 units as a block. Special ONT models are designed to support RF return, temperature hardened, and twisted pair copper when rewiring of MDU is not feasible.

The Business Service and Mobile Backhaul ONTs are designed to serve the fastest growing market in fiber access for business service applications, including backhaul to mobile base stations. The rollout of new wireless standards, such as 4G/LTE places extraordinary bandwidth requirements on mobile backhaul to support both new services and higher mobile penetration. The adoption of e-commerce is the driving force behind the faster broadband connection. These new applications demand high bandwidth that lead an industry-wide transition from T1-only based backhaul to T1 and high speed Ethernet backhaul. As a result, both business service and wireless operators are demanding robust fiber connectivity to power their business applications.
