Calix Conducts Twenty Millionth FCC Broadband Performance Test With the Most Scalable, Trustworthy, and Simple Solution for Compliance in the US - Seite 2

“We were rapidly approaching the April 7th pre-test reporting deadline and needed to find a new testing solution to ensure that we were adhering to FCC performance standards or possibly risk losing funding,” said Monte Hagge, general manager of Van Buren Telephone. “With a robust, tightly integrated testing solution, Calix came highly recommended by other service providers. Working with Calix Professional Services, we moved from install to actually conducting tests in just over two weeks, which is absolutely phenomenal. More importantly, not only did the Calix solution address our immediate, urgent requirement for performance testing, it has positioned us to begin offering managed Wi-Fi services to our subscribers in the future.”

Pre-testing reporting deadlines currently loom for participants in the Alternative Connect America Cost Model (A-CAM I), A-CAM I Revised, Alaska Plan, and Rural Broadband Experiment programs. Combined with the USDA ReConnect and state funds, this series of government programs accounted for a $4.5 billion budget in 2020.

“Calix was first to market with our FCC testing service two years ago, and we have extended that market lead as we gained deep operational experience supporting our customers through the FCC broadband performance testing process, starting with the broadband providers that had to complete the USAC pre-tests in January 2020,” said Martha Galley, senior VP of customer engagement at Calix. “Our solution makes testing simple and painless. Calix customers have run 20 million speed and latency tests—nearly half of them in the last 30 days. This tremendous figure underscores just how scalable and field-proven the Calix solution is and reinforces the integral role that our services team plays in helping customers navigate and successfully complete the FCC testing process.”
