Calix recently announced that Novus Entertainment (Novus) is leveraging both the Intelligent Access EDGE and Revenue EDGE solutions to cost-effectively deliver the fastest residential broadband service in Western Canada.
A tech pioneer among Canadian CSPs, Novus has established itself as the country’s foremost expert in deploying fiber broadband to MDUs. Novus serves more than 800 MDU buildings spread across Metro Vancouver, delivering fiber broadband connections with symmetrical bandwidth—unique for the MDU market.
With a Novus-branded CommandIQ mobile app - Novus Connect - coming soon and GigaSpire BLAST systems along with the AXOS E7-2 Intelligent Modular System and GP1100x GigaPoint system, the Vancouver-based telecom is introducing Canada’s first 2.5-Gigabit residential Wi-Fi experiences.
Once the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) XGS-PON network is in place, Novus will deploy the cutting-edge Wi-Fi 6 GigaSpire BLAST systems across the multi dwelling unit (MDU) buildings it serves. Installation of Novus facilities in an MDU ensures the best technology available for its occupants.
A trailblazer in finding creative ways to deliver cutting-edge technology to its subscribers, Novus is pre-provisioning GigaSpire BLAST u4 systems in every unit of a new building, giving every resident the ability to immediately turn up Gigabit Wi-Fi service. Should new residents opt for the 2.5G Novus service, the system will be seamlessly swapped out for a GigaSpire BLAST u6 to embrace the blazing fast 2.5G speeds.
Chris Marett, co-president and CFO of Novus
We also remain committed to finding unique and innovative ways to deliver an exceptional subscriber experience, whether that is pre-wiring new construction with Gigabit capability or upgrading existing connections.
Chris Burnes, VP technical operations at Novus
Deploying XGS-PON and Wi-Fi 6 is key to Novus’ strategy to support leading-edge speeds and products moving forward.
