MONROVIA, Calif., Oct. 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Calix, Inc. (NYSE:CALX), the world leader in Subscriber Driven Intelligent Access, announced Giggle Fiber is deploying Calix AXOS Gfast and GPON solutions with Calix GigaCenters as they expand the reach of their fiber-rich network in southern California. Currently serving the eastern Los Angeles county communities of Arcadia and Monrovia, Giggle Fiber is shaking up the market. Armed with unrivaled speeds and unmatched customer support, this fast-growing fiber innovator is unleashing a new and local option for high-speed data services in a market thirsting for a better broadband experience. By utilizing the Calix AXOS E5-16F for Gfast service delivery in both residential and business MDUs and the Calix E7-2 for residential broadband services over GPON, Giggle Fiber is bringing the ptential for gigabit speeds to these communities for the first time, and laying a solid foundation to continue to outpace their competition as they expand into new areas.



“We have seen the demand for over-the-top services skyrocket in recent years, and the subscribers in this area need a service provider with a reliable network that can deliver those services without fail. Enter Giggle Fiber,” said Herbert Villalobos, vice president of engineering at Giggle Fiber. “With our Calix-based network in place and our local presence in the community, we know we have a competitive advantage over the other national providers who serve the area.
