Calix advances the value of the Revenue EDGE platform with the launch of the GigaSpire BLAST u6me, the first carrier-class 6E system in the world.
This addition to the GigaSpire BLAST family gives broadband service providers (BSPs) an immediate and seamless way to put cutting-edge technology into the homes of their most valuable subscribers—those who are eagerly adopting the latest 6E-enabled devices. Because it snaps right into the Revenue EDGE platform, the BLAST u6me is both fast and simple to adopt and manage. This means BSPs of even the smallest size can operate with the agility of the best consumer brands and deploy this breakthrough technology in days or weeks rather than months or years. Ultimately, BSPs can quickly deliver the latest technology that subscribers are happy to pay a premium for, while leveraging premium managed Wi-Fi offerings to drive continuous upsell opportunities.
Many BSPs are already leveraging the powerful Revenue EDGE platform to lock in a monetization strategy that ensures profitable growth for decades. With the launch of the GigaSpire BLAST u6me, BSPs can now:
- Be seen by subscribers as the “go to” brand for cutting-edge technology. Consumer demand is growing for the multitude of 6E-enabled devices (smartphones, laptops, 8k televisions, and more) flooding the market. The BLAST u6me helps even the smallest BSP keep these high-value subscribers out of big box stores and grow brand loyalty.
- Quickly install and easily manage cutting-edge systems in the home. The GigaSpire BLAST u6me is optimized for backhaul interoperability—either wirelessly using the 5 GHz (802.11ax) radio or via an Ethernet cable—with any existing GigaSpire BLAST system.
- Deploy systems immediately with no “rip and replace” required. Powered by the Revenue EDGE platform, the new GigaSpire BLAST u6me enables BSPs of any size to seamlessly add Wi-Fi 6E capabilities without replacing any existing GigaSpire BLAST systems.
- Meet market demand while monetizing the network to grow business value. With Wi-Fi 6E, subscribers can enjoy new bandwidth-intensive applications which, in turn, drives higher bandwidth consumption. Accordingly, subscribers have a greater need for premium high-speed Internet and managed Wi-Fi packages.

We designed the powerful Revenue EDGE platform specifically to help even the smallest BSP compete and win against the consumer giants. As a core component of Revenue EDGE, BSPs can deploy new GigaSpire BLAST systems without any rip-and-replace hassles, while shrinking integration time to weeks instead of months or years.
