Calix delivers cutting-edge Wi-Fi 6E technology that will excite your high-value subscribers and crush big-box competitors. And we make it easy.
The GigaSpire® BLAST u6me offers simple plug-and-play connectivity; snapping right into the Revenue EDGE ecosystem. No need to “rip and replace” existing GigaSpire BLAST Wi-Fi 6 systems. Simply connect the BLAST u6me to any existing GigaSpire BLAST Wi-Fi 6 system—without the need for extensive network or compatibility testing that can reduce deployment times and increase costs—and your subscribers can take advantage of the new 6 GHz spectrum. This extends the lifecycle of your existing investments, while providing the latest and greatest technology.
Subscribers with new connected devices will benefit from uninterrupted connectivity (with more available channels, resulting in less wireless interference) and reduced latency (owing to fewer airtime contention issues) because access to the 6 GHz radio is not congested with older devices that can slow down the ultimate Wi-Fi experience.
Copper? Check. Fiber? Check. Multiple options to deliver 10G services? Check.
