CommsDesign Week in Review

Calix is buying FTTH from Ericsson We don’t know the amount of cash (or stock) changing hands in this deal, but Ericsson’s FTTH optical product line will now belong to Calix and Calix’s access equipment portfolio will be resold by Ericsson. Calix gets the global reseller channel; Ericsson puts more emphasis on 4G IP and mobile broadband. Sounds cozy. The deal should close in Q4 2012.
