With this new release, Calix is delivering mesh-enabling software upgrades to its Gigacenter solutions and adding the new 804Mesh satellites. These enhancements are aimed at transforming home Wifi coverage and enabling GigaCenter solutions to intelligently adapt to today’s increasingly complex home Wifi environments. Now service providers can exploit the burgeoning mesh Wifi opportunity by delivering a mesh-enhanced more efficient Carrier Class Wifi experience.

The upgraded Gigacenter solution allows streaming video, gaming, and other online applications to run at their optimal performance throughout the home. By complementing this solution with Calix Cloud, service providers can easily manage the subscriber experience via remote troubleshooting features that provide unprecedented visibility into the entire home network. Finally, the 804Mesh was designed for self-install to ensure that subscribers get up and running at the lowest cost possible.

One innovative service provider who is ready to separate itself from the competition with mesh-enhanced Carrier Class Wifi solutions from Calix in this manner is Nebraska fibre innovator ALLO Communications (ALLO). With ubiquitous all-fibre networks in seven communities including a rapidly expanding subscriber base in the state’s capital of Lincoln, ALLO has demonstrated a long commitment to delivering the ultimate business and residential subscriber experience. As a continuation of that commitment, ALLO is taking the next step to ensure that this unique experience extends through their managed Wifi service. Their existing GigaCenter deployment will now be enhanced with 804Mesh satellites, allowing them to stay ahead of growing broadband needs and easily expand the reach and performance of Wifi for their subscribers on demand.

“Our expansive fibre network has provided a unique foundation for our customer service focus at ALLO, giving us the ability to quickly grow our business and deliver services that go above and beyond our subscriber’s expectations,” said Brad Moline, ALLO President. “Providing a managed Wi-Fi service is key to that service portfolio, as our subscriber’s wireless experience is becoming more important in their daily lives. Gigacenters combined with 804Mesh satellites and Calix Cloud will enable ALLO to efficiently serve our subscribers’ Wifi demands in larger homes with more devices, and even in their outdoor spaces. ALLO looks forward to delighting our subscribers with this new offering and keeping the ALLO brand closely associated with the best broadband service available anywhere.”
