Software-defined Access Networking: XGS-PON

Calix Intelligent Access

The Intelligent Access solution redefines the access edge of the network, enabling BSPs to build a network capable of delivering and maintaining many subscriber services for decades to come. It’s truly the last network any broadband provider ever needs to build. Intelligent Access simplifies the architecture and operation of the network while eliminating nearly 40 percent of initial CAPEX and as much as 95 percent of recurring fees. This is done by consolidating service-enabling network functions into optional specialized software modules—boosting productivity and reducing both TCO and time to market for new services. From a single point in the network with one common service model, the Intelligent Access solution enables BSPs to maintain all subscriber-facing services.

Intelligent Access provides:

  • Enhanced analytics and automation to optimize network planning, automate critical tasks and accommodate future capabilities and services
  • The ability to provision and manage existing EXA and AXOS networks with a single model
  • An integrated diagnostics toolbox to diagnose subscriber issues remotely, eliminating truck rolls
  • A virtual integration and testing sandbox environment that eliminates the need to build large labs to train personnel and integrate solutions into the network and BSS/OSS systems

The Intelligent Access solution includes three key components: Intelligent Access Foundation, Calix Cloud, and Intelligent Access Software. To experience the full benefit of the Intelligent Access solution, BSPs must utilize all three—but simplifying operations with an autonomous network begins with the Intelligent Access foundation.
