Calix, Inc. is now shipping the fourth member of its GigaSpire indoor optical network terminal (ONT), the GigaSpire BLAST u6x. The ONT supports WiFi 6 as well as the delivery of up to 10-Gbps internet services via a variety of fiber to the home (FTTH) access architectures. The GigaSpire BLAST u6x supports five different WAN SFP connections: 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet and GPON as well as Active Ethernet and XGS-PON, with these latter two available later this year. The modular system enables upgrades by swapping optical modules, obviating the need to replace the entire system or recreate or re-establish the SSID and other settings. Operators can upgrade the WiFi 6 capabilities to WiFi 6E with equal flexibility, according to Calix.
