BOOTH 724 Within four months of partnering with Calix Customer Success, CTC Telecom successfully eliminated issues with consumer-grade gate- ways by replacing them with GigaSpire BLAST systems — and reached the 100 percent visi- bility the support team was striving for. “Getting installations right the first time — with standards-based equipment and proactive training — positively impacts the subscriber experience and reduces the cost involved in repeated trips to resolve connectivity issues,” said Martha Galley, senior vice president of customer engagement and services for Calix. “By pre-empting costly support calls, CTC Telecom is now focusing on growing its value for the community and rapidly scaling as it joins other Calix customers who have sharply reduced truck rolls and associated expenses. This is exactly what the Calix Customer Success team lives for — to be a partner every step of the way and provide value that helps broadband busi- nesses simplify operations, excite subscribers and grow revenue.” m Visit Calix Inc. at WISPAPALOOZA 2021 booth #321 or go to www.calix.com. (Continued from page 18) A viat Networks, Inc., a leading expert in wireless transport solutions, announced high availability (HA) routing software for the CTR 8740. Aviat is now one of only a few router vendors on the market to support high availability software, with a targeted feature set designed for mission critical networks. With its dual independent chassis archi- tecture, CTR 8740 has unique capabilities to ensure no single point-of-failure, including dual protected power supplies, best-in-class hitless software upgrades to eliminate traffic disrup- tion, IP/MPLS segment routing for fast network convergence and strong-security capabilities, said Aviat executives. CTR 8740 supports a mix of high availability routing features such as graceful restart, non-stop forwarding and segment routing, which is ideally suited for deployment at both fiber and wireless transport sites in critical networks of all kinds. “With the addition of high availability routing, CTR 8740 now supports highly resilient back- haul networks and is a compelling choice for operators seeking an affordable routing solution that is reliable, scalable and secure,” said Peter Smith, CEO of Aviat Networks. “The complexity and high costs of typical routers have resulted in customers overpaying for features and capa- bilities they don’t use. The CTR 8740 is a smart buying decision that safeguards customer investments and provides a scalable platform as network demands increase.” In conjunction with this new software, Aviat also has released a major update to its ProVi- sion Plus software platform to enable point-and- click management of even the most complicated IP/MPLS networks. With cloud and premises deployment options, the new Provision Plus release simplifies operations, lowers costs, accel- erates troubleshooting and allows for the auto- mation of network functions, said the company. Aviat is currently taking orders for this product, which is now shipping in volume production. m Visit Aviat Networks at WISPAPALOOZA 2021 booth #618 or go to www.aviatnetworks.com.
