Comvergence rolls out Calix broadband solutions in Australia

Calix, the subscriber driven intelligent access provider, has announced that Australia service provider Comvergence is successfully rolling out Calix AXOS G.fast solutions to businesses throughout Australia’s two largest cities.

The first to deploy this groundbreaking technology in both Sydney and Melbourne, Comvergence is leveraging the Calix AXOS E5-16F G.fast Node and 801F GigaPoints at multi-tenant unit (MTU) buildings to deliver symmetrical broadband speeds over the existing copper infrastructure of up to 300 Mbps, enabling the capability to deliver a true gigabit experience to each subscriber if required. Comvergence is also utilising the Calix E7-2 Modular Access System for Gigabit Ethernet backhaul over fibre.

“Calix AXOS G.fast solutions gave us a powerful one-two punch in Australia’s two largest cities – the ability to stand out as the company capable of deploying not only the fastest and most reliable business services over copper in the market, but to do so in the shortest time from order to service delivery,” said Brian Michael, Director at Comvergence. “Once live, Calix solutions have continued to allow us to distinguish our service with extraordinary always-on reliability and the ability to easily step-up to the increasing speeds demanded by our business customers. Given our success in Sydney and Melbourne, our next step is to pursue opportunities to extend the powerful Calix solutions in other opportunities nationally.”

“Service providers are constantly looking for innovative new ways to provide differentiated, cost-effective, fastest-to-market, and reliable services to their business customers,” said Joseph Haddad, VP, international sales at Calix. “Historically, businesses residing in copper-fed MTUs were experiencing a digital divide – left behind as their competitors made the leap to higher speed services and performance. No more, as Calix AXOS G.fast innovations have allowed service providers like Comvergence to revolutionise their markets by leveraging existing copper infrastructure and stand apart from their competitors in agility, speed, and service quality.”

Calix will be exhibiting and speaking at CommunicAsia2017, which is to be held May 23 to 25 at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.
