Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) today announced that MLGC has laid the foundation for the ultimate subscriber experience by leveraging the Calix Intelligent Access EDGE to become the first broadband service provider (BSP) in North Dakota to deploy a simplified network that can extend 5-Gigabit broadband service to subscribers. The rural BSP, which was named the state’s fastest internet and cable provider among small operators in 2020 by BroadbandNow, is expanding its multi-Gig residential broadband capabilities by overlaying its GPON access network with XGS-PON fiber-to-the-home (FTTH). This move positions MLGC to capitalize on its unmatched 5-Gigabit symmetrical bandwidth offering by building a powerful subscriber experience that grows its value beyond what regional cable operator competitors can match. With this growing next-generation, FTTH access network, MLGC is building into more populated areas, where it will differentiate its offerings further, exciting subscribers with 10-Gigabit services thanks to the Ultimate Wi-Fi experience built on the Calix Revenue EDGE.

The comprehensive Intelligent Access EDGE solution MLGC is leveraging to transform its network is built on the temperature-hardened E7-2 Intelligent Modular System and the powerful, Always-On AXOS^® platform. The modular architecture of the platform offers hardware independence, common service models and workflows that have cut operating costs for many Calix customers by as much as 50 percent. Furthermore, the flexibility of the AXOS platform enables MLGC to embrace an everyPON strategy and easily scale broadband connections to 10-Gigabit efficiently with the PON technology of their choice. By transitioning to AXOS and the Services Management Connector (SMx), MLGC can now turn up OLTs and automatically provision and activate ONTs remotely up to 80 percent faster.
