San Ramon, Calif., February 24, 2009—Calix, the largest telecom equipment
supplier focused solely on access solutions for broadband service delivery, has joined MoCA as an Associate
member. The company's Unified Access Infrastructure provides service
providers with a wide range of innovative access platforms that enable the
delivery of any service over any media at the lowest cost.
Calix is the leading provider of fiber to the premises
(FTTP) solutions to North American service providers. The company is also the
worldwide leader in gigabit passive optical network (GPON) optical network
terminal (ONT) revenue, according to a recent report by the Dell'Oro Group.
"Service providers deploying FTTP have found that a major
cost, as well as opportunity, for service differentiation lies in how they
choose to address home network wiring," Geoff Burke, Calix marketing
director. "By joining forces with MoCA, Calix can provide its
customers with a standards-based, comprehensive, and reliable whole home
solution using pre-existing coaxial cabling."
"Calix' stellar reputation among service providers
reinforces MoCA's long held position as interoperable with all forms of network
access including fiber, copper or coax, DSL, Ethernet or GPON," said Charles Cerino, president of MoCA. "Their advanced
video solutions fit hand in glove with MoCA as we are essentially IP over
coax."
