Calix recently released two new EDGE Systems, the GigaSpire BLAST u6.1 and u6.2, which enable operators to expand their subscriber experience offerings with Wi-Fi 6 and the Revenue EDGE solution.
Calix claims that it was first to market with carrier-class Wi-Fi 6 in 2018 and has spent 18 months expanding use cases and platform functionality so that CSPs can elevate the Ultimate Managed Wi-Fi 6 experience. Now with the BLAST u6, subscribers never have to feel the need to venture to a big box store for a Wi-Fi router again.
The GigaSpire BLAST u6 systems provides:
• Wi-Fi 6 Coverage: The latest Qualcomm 11ax chipset delivers up to 4.8 Gbps, while leveraging BLAST Intelligent Mesh with the u12, u6, or future systems.
• Speed: Available in a 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps WAN models, giving CSPs the ability to meet different price points while matching capabilities to available network speed.
• Service Life: Serves future growing demand for Wi-Fi 6 by eliminating high failure rate components, such as internal fans, and sturdy industrial design could extend service life beyond six years, thereby maximizing the CSP and subscribers’ return on investment.
• US RDOF Compliance: Includes two POTS ports, UPS management, a robust SpeedTest program built from experience with CAF programs and support services to ensure RDOF compliance.
• Your Subscriber. Your Data. Your Brand: The BLAST U6 is delivered on a platform that makes it clear – it is the CSP’s brand that matters most. Calix does not demand “Powered by” messaging and ensures that the CSP retains ownership of all data.
