In addition, MLGC is delivering 10-Gigabit services with Calix Revenue EDGE solution, a value-added, managed service that delivers advanced analytics with customized solutions. It is better known for opening up new avenues for revenue generation. With this, the collaboration is expected to address the evolving networking requirements on the back of superior broadband performance, thereby boosting Calix’s position amid a challenging market scenario.
