Re: [AFMUG] Calix or others 802.11ac Home Gateways
I have a love hate relationship with Calix. The gear is solid and my sales/engineering people are great but their compartmentalization of data and pricing is ridiculous. I get the feeling that they make up pricing based on what they think they can get you to pay and what region you are in. I'd love to know other peoples street prices for Gigacenters and Gigapoints.

We have asked them to put POE on that pair so the 844E could POE the Gigapoint. Then it would be a killer combo.

Re: [AFMUG] Calix or others 802.11ac Home Gateways
There is no version with SFP port, at least not as in a port that you can change the optic and use it with any kind of uplink. The 844G (fibre version) can only work (for now) in GPON environment (Calix E7). I believe they will release the AE version sometime this year. There is no generic SFP version planned, from what I know. > On 30 Apr 2016, at 19:38, David Kunat wrote: > > On the wan side. > > On Apr 30, 2016, at 8:33 AM, David Kunat <mailto:m...@davidkunat.com>> wrote: > >> Do they have one with a SFP port? >> >> On Apr 30, 2016, at 7:29 AM, mailto:ch...@wbmfg.com>> >> mailto:ch...@wbmfg.com>> wrote: >> >>> There is a version of it that has an optical GPON interface too. >>> >>> From: Josh Baird <mailto:joshba...@gmail.com> >>> Sent: Friday, April 29, 2016 5:46 PM >>> To: af@afmug.com <mailto:af@afmug.com> >>> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Calix or others 802.11ac Home Gateways >>> >>> So.. are most people using the GigaCenter 844E? >>> >>> On Fri, Apr 29, 2016 at 7:40 PM, Paul Stewart >> <mailto:p...@paulstewart.org>> wrote: >>> Ahh.. interesting .. thanks for that … >>> >>> >>> >>> From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com <mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com>] On >>> Behalf Of Craig Schmaderer >>> Sent: April 29, 2016 6:10 PM >>> >>> >>> To: af@afmug.com <mailto:af@afmug.com> >>> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Calix or others 802.11ac Home Gateways >>> >>> >>> All routers do have this default Admin that the home owners can use to do >>> some settings.

Re: [AFMUG] Calix or others 802.11ac Home Gateways
I'd suggest that the question is related to volume as well . if you perhaps only have 50-100 customers paying the $7/month then it's not going to pay for one person, let alone a fully staffed call center. If you 1000 or 10,000 customers willing to pay then it might be a different story. A lot of companies I have seen get into this similar service already have people sitting in a call center with idle time and they are looking to maximize those folks they have already invested in.

We have to pay the tech support people, may as well give them extra tools so they can help satisfy the customer, even when it is not the fault of the company.

Experience with > them or others? All of our fiber is pretty much Calix. Their support is absolutely excellent. During one point in our startup they actually sent a tech here and he worked with us for about three days showing us how to program the ONT's, manage the system and such. They are a bit expensive, but just plain work really well. -- Larry Smith lesm...@ecsis.net
Re: [AFMUG] Calix or others 802.11ac Home Gateways
I have an Ethernet GigaCenter I'm about to do some testing with, but a colleague of mine said the GUI of it isn't as mature as traditional residential AC/GigE routers because Calix really wants you to manage it via Consumer Connect - their cloud-based ACS system (TR069). Hopefully know more next week.
