Calix 700GE optical network terminals (ONTs) are 2.5 Gbps GPON and 1.0
Gbps Active Ethernet (AE) ONTs that deliver a wide array of information,
communication and entertainment services over fiber. These high-
performance ONTs set the standard with two or four Gigabit Ethernet (GE)
interfaces that provide unmatched IPTV video and data services. The
versatile 700GE line of ONTs also features optional 1 GHz RF video with RF
return and two or four POTS lines via integrated VOIP or TDM gateway.
Calix 700GE ONTs incorporate extensive Internet protocol (IP) functionality
into seven ONT models that can be deployed indoors or outdoors.
The 700GE ONTs are designed for the industry-leading Calix C-Series, E-Series and B-Series platforms. Calix 700GE ONTs
terminate a GPON or AE fiber link at the subscriber's location and provide industry-standard interfaces for the customer
premises equipment. The ONTs enable subscribers to receive broadband data, IP or RF video, and VOIP or TDM gateway
voice on a single fiber. At the ONT, the optical signal is converted to the appropriate electrical signals for transmission over
the residence’s existing twisted pair, CAT5, and coaxial cables.
700GE ONTs are easy to install, activate, and maintain. Innovative software management tools allow the service provider to
quickly configure, activate and upgrade the ONTs from a remote location. Extensive troubleshooting capabilities, remote
software downloads, and easy-to-use service profile menus ensure that services are delivered and ONTs are maintained
without needless truck rolls and hardware upgrades.
The Calix 725GE ONT offers an RF return feature for GPON deployments that allows two-way communication between the
video headend and the consumer set-top box. RF return path signaling enables many advanced features such as Video on
Demand, Impulse Pay-Per-View, and Internet gaming over an RF overlay network. Calix RF return operates in the 5 to 42
MHz RF frequency range and supports set-top boxes meeting Out-of-Band SCTE 55-1, SCTE 55-2, and DOCSIS Set-Top
Gateway (DSG) return path standards.
Remote ONT Activation (RONTA) is an innovative software management tool from Calix. RONTA simplifies ONT
installation and turn-up by using a basic handset to configure and activate the ONT at the customer premises. The craftsperson
can install and turn up an ONT without assistance from the central office or use of special equipment.
Calix is also expanding the reach of GPON beyond the traditional 20 km boundary. Extended reach GPON supports links
between the ONT and OLT of up to 40 km. This additional coverage allows service providers to edge-out their GPON
networks and economically serve sparsely populated outlying locales without adding remote cabinets.
Calix ONTs are hardened to withstand a full range of outdoor temperatures. When placed outside, the ONT is housed in an
environmentally sealed enclosure that protects it from the elements. For an indoor installation, the ONT can be mounted on a
bracket specially designed for wall-mount and structured wiring enclosure applications.
Outdoor and indoor installations use a 120 Volt, 60 Hz AC power supply that provides battery backup of lifeline POTS in the
event of local AC power loss. Battery charge and battery life are monitored and reported through the Calix Management
System (CMS).
