Good to know. Thanks. I think we will follow suit from this point forward.

Late to this thread, but we have almost 1,000 844e and 200 804 mesh, Chuck,
we install the 803g and charge $10 for the 844e managed wifi solution and
include a free 804 mesh if we think they need it. Our take rate on the managed
wifi is above 80% and it looks like about 20% get a 804.

Were you providing different routers before, or customers were providing

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.

Hey guys,
I am trying to get started with them, but keep getting told them have no
equipment that they can sell us at this time. 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”
