DECEMBER 11, 2006, PETALUMA, CA—Calix today announced that recent
reports from industry research firms broadbandtrends.com, Dell'Oro Group, and
Infonetics Research name Calix as the growth leader in the North American DSL
and worldwide GPON markets. Critical market measurements include:
- broadbandtrends.com shows Calix DSL port shipments increasing
17% sequentially, top among all suppliers, while the overall DSL market
declined by 34% sequentially. According to Teresa Mastrangelo, principal
analyst with broadbandtrends.com, "A strong third quarter allowed Calix to
expand market share and take the #1 position in the global broadband loop
carrier market."
- Dell'Oro Group has Calix showing the highest sequential growth
rate among all North American DSL suppliers. Dell'Oro Group also places Calix
as the #1 global supplier for gigabit passive optical network (GPON) optical line
terminals (OLTs) and optical network terminals (ONTs).
- 3.Infonetics Research places Calix #1 among North American DSL
suppliers in terms of sequential growth. As it has throughout 2006, Infonetics
also places Calix in the #1 market share position for North American
multiservice access platform (MSAP) revenue. Said Jeff Heynen, directing
analyst for broadband and IPTV for Infonetics Research, "Calix continues to
turn in strong numbers, especially in the critical and rapidly-growing MSAP
category."
Becoming the "broadband provider of choice" has become
increasingly important for local exchange carriers (LECs) in their ongoing
competition with cable operators. Among the 400 North American service
providers relying on Calix for their access network requirements, fully 160 are
delivering advanced video services to over 150,000 subscribers, dramatically
enhancing their competitive posture. With DSL net additions exceeding those of
cable for the eighth straight quarter (broadbandtrends.com), Calix is helping
to shift the balance of power in favor of LECs.
"These reports confirm that Calix is well
positioned to take advantage of market trends in the DSL and PON access
markets," said John Colvin, Calix vice president of field operations. "Our
highly integrated solutions enable service providers to rapidly and cost
effectively deliver compelling IP-based service bundles over any combination of
DSL and fiber access media."
