Press Release – COS Systems and Calix Expand PON Networks in the Nordics

COS Systems and Calix Expand PON Networks in the Nordics

 

The Nordics have long been at the forefront of fibre rollouts, and while Active Ethernet has historically dominated the region, the global shift towards PON (Passive Optical Network) technology is gaining momentum. As a market leader in FTTH solutions across North America, Calix is now introducing its innovative PON solutions to the Nordics in collaboration with COS Systems, enabling operators to seamlessly modernise and scale their networks.

“The Nordics have always led the way in broadband innovation, and we’re excited to bring our cutting-edge PON technology to Sweden and beyond. Together with COS Systems, we are making it easier than ever for operators to deploy smarter, more sustainable fibre networks,” says Patricia Öien Ingemarsson, Sales Manager Nordics at Calix.

Why Calix PON?

Active Ethernet networks provide a dedicated fibre connection to each user, ensuring consistent bandwidth and high performance. However, they require energy-intensive switches distributed throughout the network footprint. PON, on the other hand, utilises a shared fibre infrastructure with optical splitters (mirrors) to distribute signals, making it more cost-efficient and less vulnerable.

While traditional concerns around PON have centred on potential bandwidth contention, advancements from industry leaders such as Calix now enable multi-gigabit speeds on XGS – PON, 50G Pon and beyond. Compared to Active Ethernet, PON technology from Calix delivers several key advantages:

  • Lower energy consumption – A greener, more cost-efficient network
  • Scalable capacity management – Seamlessly meets growing demand
  • Optimised operations & maintenance – Automation streamlines network management
  • Simplification – Easy and quick setup for fast roll-out
  • IP/MPLS enabled platform, with integrated BNG capabilities
  • Modular, Compact (1RU) High-density OLTs

A Seamless Transition with COS Systems  and Calix

With a long-standing global partnership, Calix and COS Systems provide a fully integrated solution to support network owners and operators. COS Systems offers a comprehensive broadband management platform (BSS/OSS), ensuring a smooth, automated migration to PON.

The deep integration between COS Systems & SMx SDN Controller – an advanced network Manager with a REST based API and NetConfYANG configuration model enables:

  • Automated provisioning – Simplifies service activation for new customers
  • Network Sync & Registry – Ensures seamless operation and accurate element tracking
  • 24/7 Monitoring & Diagnostics – Detects disruptions, analyses ONT status, and enables remote troubleshooting with real-time visibility into connected devices

With this integration, operators benefit from a scalable, automated solution that maximises efficiency, minimises downtime, and provides unparalleled flexibility.

“Our collaboration with Calix has been incredibly successful, and we’re thrilled to expand it further. By integrating our solutions, we empower operators with a seamless transition to PON, optimising everything from service activation to troubleshooting,” says Mikael Philipsson, CEO of COS Systems.

About Calix

With a 25-year legacy of empowering broadband service providers, Calix delivers an end-to-endbroadband platform—from the access edge to in-home Wi-Fi networks. Our solutions integratehardware, software, and cloud-based analytics while upholding the highest standards for energy efficiency and sustainability under the EU Code of Conduct. With over 1,600 customers worldwide, including more than 600 providers operating 10G XGS-PON networks, Calix continues to transform broadband across North America and beyond.

About COS Systems

COS Systems delivers cloud-hosted software to plan, build, and manage broadband networks worldwide.

Press Release Joint White Paper by SNG, VALO and COS Systems

COS Systems, SNG, and Valo Publish Joint White Paper on Options to Bridge Broadband Gaps 

 

November 9th, 2023, Umeå Sweden — Strategic Networks Group (SNG), Valo, and COS Systems today announced that they have published a white paper exploring the challenges that bridging broadband gaps in unserved and underserved areas entails, as well as presenting possible approaches to address them.

This whitepaper explores the challenges faced by localities (communities, regions, etc.) and presents four potential options to address their broadband gaps: do nothing, subsidize an ISP, become an ISP, or develop a digital infrastructure public-private partnership.

After thorough evaluation, the digital infrastructure public-private partnership (PPP) approach emerges as the most recommended solution because it leverages the strengths of both public and private sectors to ensure affordable broadband access is available to all.

The release of the white paper “Leaving No One Behind in an Increasingly Digital World–Options for Unserved and Underserved Areas to Bridge Broadband Gaps” is the outcome of a long partnership between SNG, COS, and Valo to enable stewardship of localities’ digital future that is sustainable, inclusive, and cost-effective.

Ensuring that no one in your locality is left behind in an increasingly digital world means that everybody can access reliable and affordable high-speed internet. This broadband connectivity has become an essential infrastructure for localities. However, there are still areas where broadband services are non-existent (unserved) or inadequate (underserved).

This joint whitepaper compares the various options available to localities seeking to bridge their broadband gaps and ensure equitable access to digital opportunities. Recognizing that a one-size-fits-all solution does not exist, the paper analyzes the advantages and drawbacks of each proposed option to help decision-makers make better-informed choices about their locality’s digital future.

“We are delighted to jointly announce this white paper highlighting different options to solve broadband gaps,” said Mikael Curri, founder and President of SNG. “We will continue to work with localities and the private sector to build a sustainable broadband and digital inclusion ecosystem.”
