We have a purchase agreement with them and have 150 routers ship every 2 months. This way inventory is guaranteed and ships on time. We don't have the same agreement for the 804Mesh so they're telling me 4-6 weeks out on that order since I did that on demand.
So with Calix, I would highly recommend placing orders at least 2 months in advance or do a large purchase order and schedule X amount to ship every month or two.
