The fastest growing market in fiber access today is for business service applications, particularly for backhaul to mobile base stations. The rollout of new wireless standards, such as LTE and WiMax, places extraordinary new bandwidth requirements on mobile backhaul to support both new services and higher mobile penetration. This desire for new bandwidth is driving an industry-wide transition from T1-only based backhaul to T1 and Ethernet. As a result, wireless operators are increasingly demanding fiber to their base stations.

Calix offers a wide range of ONTs specially designed to maximize revenue from emerging applications for fiber access.

The 765G ONT offers four 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, four TDM T1s, eight POTS ports, and four RF video ports, and is available in both wall- and rack-mounted models. The rack-mounted model is only 1½ RU and comes in -48 and +24 VDC versions.

The 766GX ONT is targeted at mobile backhaul applications. The 766GX is available in -48 and 24 VDC versions, with rack- and wall-mounted options. The 766GX supports both GPON and Active Ethernet. T1s can be backhauled as TDM or pseudowire (PWE3), enabling the transport of T1 services over an all-Ethernet network.

The 767GX is designed for mixed-use residential and business applications or for any business that desires two-way RF video. Available only in a rack- mounted configuration, this ONT supports four 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, eight T1s, eight POTS ports, and eight RF video ports, with an embedded SCTE standard RFOG micronode to support interactive RF services.

Calix also offers an ONT designed for small business applications, the 740G, which is available in a single family unit ONT form factor. The 740G has also been a popular choice for mobile backhaul applications when packaged with the 761 ONT cabinet.
