Calix and Astound Complete Successful 50G-PON Trial, Demonstrating a Path to Rapid Growth Without Network Overhauls
Calix says Astound completed a trial of the Calix 50G-PON access solution that delivered 50 gigabits per second downstream and flexible upstream speeds and that operated alongside existing XGS-PON infrastructure using the same AXOS-powered operational model. Calix frames the result as a way for providers to scale capacity and pursue new revenue without overhauling networks.
