Were you providing different routers before, or customers were providing their own routers?

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.

Been going on for quite a while now. Looking for the Gigaspire U6’s and or U4’s. Have been through the presentation including where they told us it was about $ 15K to $ 20K to get onboarded and utilize their “success team” required. Just trying to get going with them, but having access to the equipment is kinda “a thing” Paul From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com <mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> > On Behalf Of Ryan Ray Sent: Friday, October 16, 2020 3:37 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Calix users We have about 700 844e and 100 804Mesh deployed so far since August 2019.
