altafiber Advances Climate Action Plan With the Calix Platform, Cutting Power Consumption in Half and Preparing for 50G-PON Growth
altafiber is advancing its Climate Action Plan by partnering with Calix to implement an efficient XGS-PON network infrastructure. The transition will reduce power consumption by 48 percent while preparing for future 50G-PON capabilities. This initiative supports altafiber's goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
The company expects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 9 percent through upgrading legacy equipment, and anticipates a 10-fold reduction in CO2 emissions per customer by moving to fiber-optic networks. The implementation will enhance network resilience, reduce operational costs, and enable delivery of multi-gig services across Ohio, Hawaii, Indiana, and Kentucky markets.
altafiber sta avanzando nel suo Piano d'Azione per il Clima collaborando con Calix per implementare un'infrastruttura di rete XGS-PON efficiente. Questa transizione ridurrà il consumo energetico del 48 percento mentre si prepara alle future capacità di 50G-PON. Questa iniziativa supporta l'obiettivo di altafiber di raggiungere emissioni di carbonio nette pari a zero entro il 2040.
L'azienda prevede di ridurre le emissioni di gas serra del 9 percento attraverso l'aggiornamento dell'attrezzatura legacy e si aspetta una riduzione di dieci volte delle emissioni di CO2 per cliente passando a reti in fibra ottica. L'implementazione migliorerà la resilienza della rete, ridurrà i costi operativi e consentirà la fornitura di servizi multi-gig nei mercati dell'Ohio, delle Hawaii, dell'Indiana e del Kentucky.

To achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, altafiber invests in the unique operational efficiencies of the Calix Broadband Platform—migrating to a reliable, future-ready XGS-PON network that will reduce long-term power consumption 48 percent while opening opportunities to delight residential and business subscribers with value-based offerings
altafiber is committed to enhancing environmental quality in the communities it serves. The company developed an urgent Climate Action Plan to execute meaningful climate change, with a goal to be net-zero carbon emitters by 2040 and significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. altafiber expects to reduce GHG by 9 percent just by upgrading its legacy voice, access, and associated field equipment.
Leveraging Intelligent Access on the Calix Platform, altafiber will rapidly deploy XGS-PON to:
- Reduce operational costs of its network to support overall growth. The adoption of industry-leading double-density XGS-PON technology efficiently streamlines network operations—reducing power consumption and equipment installation space to lower total cost of ownership. This pay-it-forward network innovation allows altafiber to scale cost-effectively as it grows.
- Advance the altafiber Climate Action Plan, cutting power use and carbon emissions. By moving residential and small business customers to its high-speed fiber-optic network in lieu of legacy, copper-wire-based broadband, altafiber expects to reduce CO2 emissions per customer at least 10-fold. The XGS-PON network is also more resilient to weather events and power outages, reducing vehicle emissions thanks to fewer service calls.
- Support 10G, 50G, and beyond to enhance the subscriber experience. By enhancing network performance with XGS-PON, altafiber anticipates the delivery of unparalleled broadband experiences for residential and business subscribers. With the cloud-and-software-enabled Calix Platform, altafiber can also develop an environmentally conscious ITU standard 50G-PON roadmap.
“Our subscribers have come to expect amazing broadband experiences from us,” said Ron Beerman, chief network officer at altafiber. “Our goal is to deliver those with sustainability and environmental stewardship in mind. Partnering with Calix enables us to achieve all our goals and support our future growth across markets.”
“The Calix Broadband Platform is the ideal solution to advance altafiber’s expansive business while delivering the operational efficiency needed to support its 2040 initiative of net-zero carbon emissions,” said Shane Eleniak, chief product officer at Calix. “The platform will also enable altafiber to quickly implement new technologies like 50G-PON without requiring extensive resources. With Calix, altafiber is pushing the boundaries of broadband connectivity, helping simplify its infrastructure and streamline innovation with a reduced carbon footprint and lower energy costs. We commend altafiber for setting a new benchmark in sustainable broadband deployment while transforming every community it serves with reliable, next-generation experiences.”
