Calix customers are now deploying the Microsoft Mediaroom IPTV platform across North America, providing a clearly differentiated home entertainment experience for subscribers with features like instant channel change and multiview (multiple channels on one screen).

Dan McCrary, director of business development, TV, Video & Music Platforms Business, Microsoft, said: "While our initial success with Mediaroom has centered on the major Tier 1 telcos, we have since optimized the platform to make it more accessible and compelling for operators and deployments of all sizes. By partnering with communications equipment providers such as Calix we are able to scale our deployment capability and provide specialist expertise to the broader range of customers choosing to deliver advanced TV services with Microsoft Mediaroom."

The E7 Ethernet Service Access Platform (ESAP) is a standards-based two-slot, modular chassis that offers communications service providers the flexibility needed to address the bandwidth and operational challenges of an increasingly all-video world while maintaining an architectural simplicity that eases provisioning and operations.

A powerful new option in the Calix Unified Access portfolio, the E7 ESAP complements the C7, North America's most widely deployed multiservice access platform (MSAP). Together, these solutions provide a vast array of deployment options for service providers looking to transform their networks from legacy to advanced services efficiently and cost-effectively.

Calix EXA Powered platforms are built on an Ethernet kernel optimized for the access network, leveraging the latest generation of deployable Ethernet standards – ensuring your network is highly extensible and ready for an all-video world.

The E7 ESAP leverages an EXA Powered core, optimizing cross-network service provisioning and technology migration between Calix solutions. The result: a simple, cost-effective network architecture that delivers advanced services and expanded network capacity when you need it.
