Calix will
demonstrate advanced new IPTV and video service quality management solutions, including
the latest Microsoft Mediaroom features, across the Calix Unified Access Infrastructure
at TelcoTV 2008 (booth #501). Highlights will include delivery of high-definition
video over Active Ethernet, GPON, VDSL2, and bonded ADSL2+, all transported via redundant
10 Gbps Ethernet rings, as well as multiple demonstrations of advanced video error-correction
technologies, rapid problem-isolation tools, and TR-69 remote management solutions.

The home entertainment experience will be a focal point of the Calix booth. Calix
will showcase a demonstration of the latest Microsoft Mediaroom platform, which includes
differentiating features like fast channel zapping and multiview capabilities that
allow consumers to see multiple channels and programs on one screen. This demonstration
provides a clear vision of the differentiated user experience that IPTV can provide
and of the deployment flexibility that the Calix Unified Access Infrastructure can
provide across any media type or protocol.

Additional enabling technologies being highlighted by Calix include the following:

• Set-top boxes from Cisco and Motorola that support MPEG-4 AVC and VC-1 SD and HD content
• Video service quality management solutions from Broadcom and Comtrend, including the
  PhyR video error correction solution, delivered over VDSL2
• Advanced network management solutions from ClearAccess and Xangati that provide key
  operational efficiency enhancements in conjunction with the Calix Management System
  through enabling TR-69 and rapid problem isolation functionality
• A comprehensive solutions environment enabled via the Calix C7 and the Calix E5 family
  of platforms that makes possible the delivery of the most advanced IP services over
  any protocol and any physical media

The end-to-end ecosystem delivering the IPTV and advanced network management demonstrations
will include products from a number of Calix Compatible interoperability partners
and industry leaders including Broadcom, Cisco, ClearAccess, Comtrend, Microsoft Corp.,
Motorola, and Xangati. Service providers seeking to establish clear services differentiation
are increasingly looking to these leaders for a superior IPTV user experience, and
to fiber to the premises and advanced DSL solutions delivered via the Calix Unified
Access Infrastructure to provide the bandwidth and quality of service required to
deliver such applications.
