The Calix 844E GigaCenter is a next generation residential premises
service delivery platform that extends the access network into the home
and acts as a strategic location for control of the gigabit experience.
Supporting broadband connectivity within the home and distributing
subscriber voice, data and video services, this intelligent, high-
performance service platform integrates an Ethernet interface with
switching and routing functions that support speeds up to 1 Gbps
symmetrically. The GigaCenter service interfaces include: carrier class
wireless networking with 802.11ac Wi-Fi and four Gigabit Ethernet (GE)
ports for IPTV video and data services, two integrated voice lines
supporting carrier grade VoIP and a USB port for home networking
services.

GIGABIT SUBSCRIBER EXPERIENCE: The 844E GigaCenter is an unique gateway solution that delivers advanced software
features to unleash the gigabit experience throughout a subscriber’s home. The GigaCenter service delivery platform uses an
Ethernet link at the subscriber's premises to provide carrier-class Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for customer multi-
media devices. The 844E GigaCenter enables residential subscribers to receive gigabit broadband data, IP video, and SIP
based VoIP. Using the latest 802.11ac 5GHz technology incorporating 4x4 multi-user multiple-input and multiple-output
(MU-MIMO) and beamforming, the 844E GigaCenter allows service providers to extend the access network inside the home
and establish a strategic location for the delivery and control of broadband services. A USB port is available for home
networking with other Ethernet appliances.

Calix engineered the 844E GigaCenter for optimal whole-home coverage with simultaneous dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz
operation and dynamic beamforming at 5GHz. For maximum performance, the GigaCenter supports 2x2 MIMO spatial
diversity at 2.4GHz and 4x4 MU-MIMO at 5GHz. The 844E GigaCenter supports the entire 5GHz band including DFS
channels and can be provisioned to support 80MHz channel bandwidth at 5GHz. The GigaCenter solution easily delivers HD
and UHD video and data throughout a subscriber’s home in an increasingly video-rich and mobile broadband environment.

EASY TO INSTALL, ACTIVATE, AND MAINTAIN: With the 844E GigaCenter, Calix has redefined how to install and
activate residential services at a subscriber’s premises. Using the Calix Smart Activate feature and a phone or laptop, a field
technician can install and apply the subscriber’s service profile without special equipment or assistance from the central
office. Calix also provides the innovative Compass software portfolio, including Consumer Connect, which allows the service
provider to configure, activate and upgrade the GigaCenter quickly from a remote location using in-band management or
TR-069. Extensive troubleshooting capabilities, remote software downloads, and easy-to-use service activation features
ensure that services are delivered and maintained without needless truck rolls and hardware upgrades. Employing GigaCenters
allows service providers to reduce their operational expenses while effectively delivering the gigabit experience to their
subscribers.
