With Wi-Fi being the de facto wireless data communication technology of choice for
consumers, Calix engineered the GigaSpire BLAST u4 for optimal whole-home coverage
with simultaneous dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operation and dynamic beamforming.
Leveraging the latest Wi-Fi 6 features, the BLAST u4 provides longer range, higher
efficiency and less interference compared to earlier generations of Wi-Fi technology. The
BLAST u4 also supports the 5 GHz band, The BLAST u4 easily delivers HD and UHD
(ultra-HD) video and data throughout a subscriber's home in an increasingly video-rich and
mobile broadband environment.
Ensuring consumers can achieve ultra-fast Wi-Fi throughout their premises, the BLAST u4
provides the latest generation of redundant mesh via the Calix Wi-Fi 6 BLAST u4m
GigaMesh. With the BLAST u4 as the hub, and the u4m as the satellite, consumers can truly
gain the whole home/smart home experience. For even higher mesh performance, multiple
u4m systems can be connected to the BLAST u4.

With the GigaSpire BLAST u4, Calix has redefined how to install and activate residential
services at a subscriber's premises. Using the Calix Smart CommandIQ App 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 CSC (Calix Support Cloud (CSC), which allows the service provider to configure,
activate and upgrade the GigaSpire BLAST u4 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 GigaSpire BLAST u4
systems allows service providers to reduce their operational expenses while effectively
delivering the Gigabit experience to their subscribers.
EXOS is the world's only hardware independent, modular, standards-based, always-on smart
home operating system. With EXOS, service providers can use the containerized architecture
to quickly deploy new services that leverage a range of pre-integrated smart home solutions
and thousands of smart devices (for example, enhanced parental controls or network
security).
