Calix Help Silver Star Deliver Advanced Broadband Services
By Anuradha Shukla, TMCnet Contributor
Wyoming-based communications service provider Silver Star Communications has deployed the Calix Unified Access Infrastructure across its network.
Silver Star reportedly has deployed the Calix (News - Alert) C7 multiservice access platform (MSAP), the Calix E-Series multiservice over Ethernet platforms, and the Calix P-Series customer premises solutions. The company is also using the Calix Management System (CMS), which provides end-to-end visibility across the entire Unified Access Infrastructure.
“Silver Star is no longer just a phone company. We are a broadband company,” said Ron McCue, Silver Star Communications vice president and chief operating officer and chair of USTelecom (News - Alert).
Silver Star provides a wide array of traditional and broadband services, and sees broadband as the lifeline technology of tomorrow. McCue explained that they picked Calix as their primary access partner for technology reasons, and also because they see its business vision aligned with Silver Star’s goal of remaining their region’s preferred broadband solutions provider.
The Calix C- and E-Series, as well as the Calix family of 700G Optical Network Terminals (ONTs), are helping Silver Star to deliver advanced services independent of media type. The company appreciates the flexibility of the Unified Access Infrastructure, which allows them to deploy the best-suited technology and form factor across a mountainous service area. Silver Star has been able to reach high-speed data penetration rates of over 70 percent throughout much of its subscriber base.
John Colvin, vice president of field operations at Calix appreciates Silver Star that also offers services like IPTV (News - Alert), in-home network support, and a full host of business services.
Colvin pointed out that the communications service provider is providing its customers with a rich portfolio of broadband services by leveraging both copper and fiber and using a variety of product form-factors to bring the highest speeds to residential and business subscribers alike.
“The Calix Unified Access Infrastructure perfectly aligns with Silver Star’s vision and will help the company remain the dominant service provider in its region.”
