DAY 2 2 0 WISPAMERICA I MARCH 6 - 9, 2023 www.bekabusinessmedia.com Calix Adds IPv4 Address Management Capability WISPAMERICA Premier Sponsor Calix Inc., announced new capabilities its Calix Intelligent Access EDGE solution that enables broadband service providers (BSPs) to simplify their networks, their operations and grow their businesses. Calix-partnered BSPs deploying the simplified network architecture can use the Automated Access Network Gateway capability, a broadband industry-first solution that automates the allocation and assignment of IPv4 addresses. To support subscriber growth as the industry faces the challenges of IPv4 address exhaustion, BSPs are forced to implement multi-netting to allow for address assignments from different subnets. Manually configuring and tracking these subnets can become overwhelming – creating a need for an automated solution. In addition, using multi-netting leaves valuable IP address resources stranded. The Automated Access Network Gateway capability on Intelligent Access EDGE eliminates timeconsuming tasks of implementing, managing and configuring the network that materialize when using complex multi-netting solutions. Intelligent Access EDGE is part of the Calix end-to-end platform that enables BSPs to support exceptional subscriber experiences by eliminating potential subscriber impacts during service delivery. These subscriber experiences are built on Calix SmartLife managed services, purposebuilt for three distinct market segments: residential (SmartHome), community (SmartTown), and small businesses (SmartBiz). By deploying the Automated Access Network Gateway capability on Intelligent Access EDGE, BSPs can: • Reduce the complexity of managing multiple subnets. By automating IP address allocation, BSPs can eliminate the major pain point of manually implementing and managing complex IPv4 subnets. • Preserve the valuable IPv4 address pool. By sharing and optimizing the utilization of IPv4 addresses, BSPs can eliminate instances of “stranded” and “wasted” IPv4 addresses that become unavailable during the subnetting process. This ensures a maximum return on investment in IP addresses. • Free up network engineering resources. Automating IP address management allows BSPs to move away from manually tracking and managing IP addresses. This frees network engineers to focus on more critical network tasks that enhance business growth. • Eliminate the impact of the human factor. Manual oversight and configuration of the IPv4 address allocation process leads to the possibility of human error and can result in subscriberimpacting outages. Automation speeds up the process and guards against human error. In February, Intelligent Access EDGE was recognized as the best FTTx product at the Lightwave Innovation Reviews for the XG801 line card, a vital component of the solution that helps BSPs future-proof their networks. The award is the most recent recognition reflecting the power of the Calix platform to reduce OPEX by up to 40 percent, accelerate time to market and time to revenue for new managed services by up to 80 percent, and ensure zero downtime during network upgrades. m For more information, visit with Calix at booth 201 or Meeting Room 1 positronaccess.com/extend-wireless Positron‘s G.hn Access Multiplexer (GAM) operates like an Ethernet Switch that takes full advantage of a 10 Gbps XGS-PON feed to deliver Gigabit services to each subscriber over the existing in-building wiring (800 feet on telco pairs, 2,600 feet on coax). The GAM is carrier friendly and offers native XGS-PON (OMCI) integration to extend Gigabit services and subscriber pro les over the telco pairs or coax infrastructure allowing the OSS and BSS to be used seamlessly “as is”. The GAM supports uplink over FWA and active ber backhaul technologies. The GAM installs in hours and enables the lowest CAPEX and highest ROI. 24 port Coax GAM 24 port MIMO GAM IP68 Outdoor GAM 8 port MIMO GAM was chosen as: “One of the Top Products available” Save the cost and time to rewire! Extend FWA Gigabit Services with Positron’s GAM The looks like an ONT with Subscriber Gigabit Ethernet Ports The 2023 version of WISPAMERICA, meeting through Thursday In Louisville is expected to break attendance records, according to Nathan Stooke of Wisper IP, who chairs the WISPA Agenda Committee. During Tuesday’s opening session, Stooke said 1,168 people had registered, at that time. He said he expected to surpass 1,200 attendees sometime during the day. Other significant numbers included: • 23 WISPAMERICA sponsors • 139 WISPAMERICA vendors • 48 WISPAMERICA sessions • 8 of the sessions are Deep Dives • 150-plus speakers Another significant number was shared by WISPA Vice President of Policy Louis Peraetz who said the organization is addressing more than 55 issues of interest to WISPs before the FCC, NTIA and other federal agencies.
