Equipment availability is definitely a huge problem right now. Maybe less so for operators that buy a years worth in advance which I think is how Calix prefers. Shipping 50 at a time is not their style.
The 15-20k will be integrations with your billing system and API, plus the setup of the cloud and on boarding for your techs and support people. If you don’t plan on doing any integrations you can probably negotiate that number down. The price is high but it’s high quality set and forget type infrastructure. Our support calls went way down when we started getting these routers in.
