Advanced VDSL2 Services in Flexible Form Factor Optimized for Remote Node Deployment

Calix is responding to the never-ending demand for bandwidth with a family of sealed Ethernet Service Access Nodes (ESANs) that are changing the way communications service providers compete. The E3 family of ESANs is designed not just for cost-effective delivery of services today, but with the technologies you will need to transform your network throughout the decade:

• Fiber efficient ring transport
• 10GE transport
• Vectoring for cross-talk elimination
• VOIP for network transformation

Every feature of the E3 family is designed to drive out cost from your access network. Calix 10GE ring transport conserves fiber and eliminates future truck rolls for to reinforce exhausted GE uplinks. Integrated VOIP means you can decommission those legacy TDM DLCs to simplify the training needs of your craft personnel. And vectoring (E3-48 and E3-48C) clears the way for deployment of bonding to economically deliver 100 Mbps services over loops as long as 1000 meters.

E3-48C: High-Density, High Bandwidth -- with Combo VDSL2 and POTS

The E3-48C brings a new level of flexibility to communications service providers seeking to deliver advanced broadband services over existing copper infrastructure. The E3-48C supports up to 48 ports of “combo” VDSL2 and POTS services in a compact, hardened, and sealed form factor, simplifying network transformation by eliminating the need for overlay of legacy digital loop carrier (DLC) voice services.

Network Transformation Features:

• 48 ports of VDSL2 with integrated splitters
• 10GE, 2.5GE, or GE transport
• ERPS ring, daisy chain, or point-to-point topologies
• Ethernet aggregation with 2 GE ports
• AC -48VDC, and line powering options
• VDSL2 with automatic ADSL2+ fallback
• VDSL2 and ADSL2+ bonding

Applications:

• Fiber to the node
• Ring inclusion with E7 and C7 10GE rings
• Ethernet DSLAM aggregation
• Connect America Fund
• Multi-dwelling units (apartment complexes)
• Rural broadband deployments
