Calix announced the AXOS Intelligent Access Edge solution, giving service providers the flexibility to bring Layer 3 functionality—including MPLS routed networking—to their new or existing Layer 2 access network, drastically simplifying their architectures and reducing total cost of ownership. The offering also includes a new line card, which enables service providers to aggregate their existing Layer 2 Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) while easily reaping the benefits of a collapsed Layer 3 Access network.
The AXOS Intelligent Access Edge Solution, which is comprised of the new Advanced Routing Protocol Module (ARm), the Routing Protocol Module (RPm), the Subscriber Management Module (SMm), as well as the E9-2 Intelligent Edge System gives service providers the option of performing routing functions in their access networks with the RPm or having a full MPLS routed network with the ARm. The new [[Aggregation Services Manager]] line card for Calix’s E9-2 Intelligent Edge System runs with the ARm, providing 64 10G ports in a single system, aggregating Layer 2 OLTs, and delivering the benefits of the Layer 3 Access network. The existing Layer 2 access network is then connected to the service provider’s edge network with multiple MPLS-capable 40G/100G uplink ports.
“The AXOS Intelligent Access Edge Solution with the new Advanced Routing Protocol Module has been designed specifically to allow service providers to instantly realize the simplicity and cost advantages of software defining their access networks without undergoing a complete replacement,” said Shane Eleniak, senior VP of platforms for Calix. “The efficiency advantage from consolidating subscriber and service related functions onto the access network not only reduces operational cost but speeds time to deploy new services—both of which are key to our customers, who are tasked with delivering increasingly complex next-generation services to their subscribers.”
Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) is a fixed access technology that uses fiber optic cables to provide voice, data, and video services at gigabit speeds. GPON is the leading form of Passive Optical Network (PON), and it replaces the traditional Ethernet design with a two-tier optic network. GPON uses Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) to transmit data of different upstream/downstream wavelengths over the same ODN
In developed countries, nearly 85% of the population accesses the internet from home. This fact increases the need for more bandwidth.
Significantly increased bandwidth can result in slower downloads, choppy streaming, and interruptions during online activities. 10GPON technology enables consumers and businesses to avoid problems like lag and buffering.
Keep reading for a complete G PON guide and an introduction to 10GPON technology.
What Is XG(S)-PON?
XG(S)-PON is evolved from the existing GPON technology, the XG-PON is with the bandwidth of 10G for downstream and 2.5G for upstream, XGS-PON with the bandwidth of 10G for downstream and 10G for upstream. XGS-PON is a higher bandwidth, symmetric version of GPON. Again, the same capabilities of GPON and can co-exist on the same fiber with GPON.
Specification Differences Among GPON, XG-PON and XGS-PON
After bringing to market last year WaveRouter-13, a 48Tb/s coherent metro router, Ciena’s back at it again with two new form factors—a strategic move that will enable the company to serve a wide range of customer applications. The new 12Tb/s and 24Tb/s housings provide more choices to converge the metro and expand WaveRouter’s market penetration.
We went to work to help with that. Now you can pick your WaveRouter size (12Tb/s, 24Tb/s, or 48Tb/s) and interconnecting L2 services with L3 services across multiple regions can be accomplished with the click of a mouse.
Next, let’s look at mobility and fixed access services traffic. Mobile operators are often challenged having to connect multiple metro networks together with DWDM and connecting other vendors OTN cross-connects with high-performance transponders. WaveRouter can backhaul traffic from multiple remote access services to the metro using EVPN VPLS/VPLS for enterprises and L3VPN/VRF for mobility and fixed access services.
Again, simply pick your choice of our WaveRouter and you can have all the benefits of a coordinated multi-layer approach in a single device, removing the cost of maintaining multiple devices, while reducing footprint.

Arista CloudVisionⓇ Universal Network ObservabilityTM(CV UNOTM) is Arista’s modern, multi-domain network observability platform that integrates application visibility with CloudVision’s already powerful network telemetry base in providing unparalleled insights into application and workload performance across data centers, campuses, and wide area networks. It harnesses the power of NetDL architecture and AVA-driven proactive analysis and prescriptive recommendations, accelerating root-cause identification and propelling rapid issue resolution. This innovative solution proactively reduces human error, streamlines issue resolution for unforeseen events and provides precise root cause analysis of network events and their impact on application delivery.
SANTA CLARA, Calif.,— March 5, 2024 — Arista Networks, Inc (NYSE: ANET), an industry leader in data driven client to cloud networking, today announced a new network observability software offering merging network infrastructure performance and data from compute and server systems-of-record to deliver keen insights into application and workload performance across data center, campus, and wide area networks.
Arista’s CloudVisionⓇ Universal Network ObservabilityTM (CV UNOTM) system, available as a premium feature license on Arista CloudVision, enables the automation of network, systems, and application/workload visibility, coupled with AI-driven proactive analysis and prescriptive recommendations, which significantly reduces human error, accelerates issue resolution for unforeseen events, and provides precise root cause analysis of network events and their impact on application delivery.
“Bringing together multiple network domains with full application visibility and troubleshooting will streamline network operations and improve uptime and reliability. Disparate operating systems and lack of consistent data models across networks have made delivering systems with this degree of visibility previously impossible,” states Zeus Kerravala, Principal Analyst at ZK Research. “Moreover, in an era characterized by stringent regulatory compliance, cybersecurity, and observability throughout the enterprise—is no longer optional but rather an essential imperative.”
