Calix announced the addition of end-to-end Internet Protocol Version 6 support within the Intelligent Access EDGE solution, enabling broadband service providers to eliminate the high costs and challenges of expanding their networks using IPv4 addresses to meet accelerating subscriber demand.

The combination of AXOS and the enhanced E9-2 Intelligent Edge System brings new benefits to BSPs:. Simplified migrations from IPv4 to IPv6: Support for existing IPv4 networks in combination with IPv6 and enable an easy migration to an all-IPv6 network in the future.

Secure network: Support for IPv6 enhances network security from the access edge all the way into the subscriber premises thanks to the inherent security benefits of IPv6 such as integrated encryption and integrity-checking.

Intelligent, scalable routing: Layer 3 routing using IPv6 enables BSPs to keep up with subscriber demand by rapidly and cost-effectively expanding their networks.

Working with the Calix Professional Services Network Consulting team, Ciello determined the E9-2 system was the ideal choice for the upgrade, as it would integrate seamlessly into its existing network, built with the E7-2 Intelligent Modular System.
