Regional Projects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>PVT and
La Jicarita move Fiber Forward to deliver advanced broadband to rural New
Mexico</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>PETALUMA, CA―June 20, 2011―Calix, Inc. today announced that
two New Mexico Broadband Stimulus award winners –Penasco Valley
Telecommunications(PVT) and La Jicarita Rural Telephone Cooperative (La
Jicarita) – have each selected the Calix Unified Access portfolio to bring
advanced broadband services to their rural subscribers in southern and
northeastern New Mexico respectively. <span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>Both PVT and La Jicarita are moving Fiber Forward in
their networks, pulling fiber deep into "unserved" communities to
bring extremely fast broadband services and new opportunities to their
subscribers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In aggregate, these
awards amount to more than $21.4 million in overall funds and consist of $13.1
million in grants and $8.4 million in loans which include plant engineering,
materials, labor, and other costs, including access equipment. The awards to
PVT and La Jicarita bring the total number of Calix awarded Broadband Stimulus
projects in the state of New Mexico to five projects, totaling approximately
$64.8 million in overall funds.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>La Jicarita will use its $11.9 million award, which consists
of a $8.3 million grant and a $3.6 million loan, of which only a portion is for
access equipment, to offer ultra high-speed broadband services to subscribers
in Mora, New Mexico and the surrounding area. The Ethernet Extensible
Architecture (EXA) Powered E7 Ethernet Service Access Platform (ESAP) and 700GE
family of ONTs will utilize Active Ethernet technology to deliver broadband
speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) to subscribers. 10 gigabit Ethernet
(10GE) transport technology will interconnect this network with other La
Jicarita facilities. Approximately 3,000 people, 40 businesses and eight
community institutions stand to benefit from this broadband project. La
Jicarita will also be deploying the E7 and 700GE ONTs for a non-Broadband
Stimulus fiber access build-out in its exchange in Wagon Mound, New Mexico.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>"Advanced broadband services are critical to the
quality of life and economic development of the rural communities that we
serve," said Danny Gray, manager at La Jicarita. "Our Fiber Forward
initiatives will allow us to bring a world-class broadband infrastructure to
parts of northeastern New Mexico that, in some cases, only have access to
dial-up. Calix is helping us to bring new opportunities to our rural
subscribers, and we expect these projects to be truly transformative to each of
these communities."</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>PVT will use its $9.6 million award, which consists of a
$4.8 million grant and $4.8 million loan, of which only a portion is for access
equipment, to provide advanced high-speed broadband to "unserved"
areas of its incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) territory. PVT is also
moving Fiber Forward, pulling fiber deeper into its network to deliver advanced
broadband services over asynchronous digital subscriber line two plus (ADSL2+)
technology. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The Calix E5-111
Ethernet Service Access Nodes (ESANs) will deliver the ADSL2+ technology to
subscribers over the last mile copper infrastructure, while E7-2 ESAPs will
provide aggregation and 10GE transport and the C7 Multiservice Access Platforms
(MSAPs) will provide both Gigabit Ethernet transport and voice gateway support.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The Calix Management System (CMS)
will provide Unified Access management across the entire portfolio.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>"We are excited for the opportunity that this Stimulus
award provides us to bring advanced broadband services to previously 'unserved'
portions of our network," said Glenn Lovelace, chief executive officer at
PVT. "These new services will provide a host of new opportunities to the
citizens of southern New Mexico. As the leader in enabling rural broadband
services, we are confident that our partnership with Calix is the right choice
in making our vision a reality."</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>John Colvin, vice president of field operations at Calix
said, "Calix is proud to be a key partner to these service providers in
bringing the opportunity for advanced broadband services to over 750,000 New
Mexicans, and we look forward to bringing each of these critical projects to
fruition."</p></div><br><div>
