Calix has recently announced that 12 communications service providers had chosen the Calix Unified Access portfolio to provide support to about $153 million of Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP) Stimulus projects in the US.
With this announcement, aggregate Calix vendor selections by Broadband Stimulus winners for "last mile" and "middle mile" awards have reached 87 projects for more than $1.65 billion in Stimulus-related grants, loans, as well as private investment for materials, plant engineering, labor and other costs.
The projects will use fiber access and DSL across the Calix B6, C7, and E7 platforms in order to deliver some of the advanced broadband services to businesses, residences and community institutions across 11 states.
Calix officials commented that “since the Broadband Stimulus program was announced, we have been committed to helping our customers through every step of the process, from drafting applications through rolling out networks and turning up services. With 87 announced Stimulus projects underway across the country, we remain focused on assisting our customers with their network and community transformations. The real winners, however, are the over 2.7 million citizens and businesses of the mostly remote and rural areas that will be served by these advanced broadband networks."
