Calix Expands North American Broadband Access Leadership.

Multiple Research Firms Give Calix Fastest Growth Rate and #1 Share in Key Markets

PETALUMA, Calif. -- Calix today announced that recent reports from industry research firms broadbandtrends.com, DelleIUOro Group, and Infonetics Research name Calix as the growth leader in the North American DSL and worldwide GPON markets. Critical market measurements include:

    1.   broadbandtrends.com shows Calix DSL port shipments increasing
         17% sequentially, top among all suppliers, while the overall
         DSL market declined by 34% sequentially. According to Teresa
         Mastrangelo, principal analyst with broadbandtrends.com, "A
         strong third quarter allowed Calix to expand market share and
         take the #1 position in the global broadband loop carrier
         market."

     2.  Dell'Oro Group has Calix showing the highest sequential
         growth rate among all North American DSL suppliers. Dell'Oro
         Group also places Calix as the #1 global supplier for gigabit
         passive optical network (GPON) optical line terminals (OLTs)
         and optical network terminals (ONTs).

     3.  Infonetics Research places Calix #1 among North American DSL
         suppliers in terms of sequential growth. As it has throughout
         2006, Infonetics also places Calix in the #1 market share
         position for North American multiservice access platform
         (MSAP) revenue. Said Jeff Heynen, directing analyst for
         broadband and IPTV for Infonetics Research, "Calix continues
         to turn in strong numbers, especially in the critical and
         rapidly-growing MSAP category."

Becoming the "broadband provider of choice" has become increasingly important for local exchange carriers (LECs) in their ongoing competition with cable operators. Among the 400 North American service providers relying on Calix for their access network requirements, fully 160 are delivering advanced video services to over 150,000 subscribers, dramatically enhancing their competitive posture. With DSL net additions exceeding those of cable for the eighth straight quarter (broadbandtrends.com), Calix is helping to shift the balance of power in favor of LECs.

"These reports confirm that Calix is well positioned to take advantage of market trends in the DSL and PON access markets," said John Colvin, Calix vice president of field operations. "Our highly integrated solutions enable service providers to rapidly and cost effectively deliver compelling IP-based service bundles over any combination of DSL and fiber access media."
