Company Overview

Calix was founded in 1999. We develop, market and sell our appliance-based platform, cloud and managed services that enable service providers of all types and sizes to innovate and transform their businesses. For our customers to successfully become Broadband Experience Providers, or BEPs, of the future, they require actionable data for critical business functions such as network operations, customer engagement and service. However, this data is often trapped in disparate systems or departmental silos. Our platform, which includes Calix Cloud, Intelligent Access, and Unlimited Subscriber, gathers, analyzes and applies machine learning to deliver real-time insights seamlessly to each key business function. Our customers utilize these data and insights to simplify network operations, customer engagement and service and innovate for their consumer, business and municipal subscribers with a growing portfolio of SmartLife managed service experiences that grow their businesses and the communities they serve. This partnership enables BEPs to grow their brand through increased subscriber acquisition, loyalty and revenue while reducing their operating costs.

This is our mission: to enable BEPs of all sizes to simplify, innovate and grow.

We believe our platform offers a competitive edge to BEPs at a critical time of increasing competition. With the increase in both private and public funding of broadband access, we anticipate at least two fiber-to-the-home providers vying for subscribers in every market. These providers have a choice: become a speed provider focused on offering the fastest speeds at the lowest price, or become an experience provider focused on delivering innovative, value-added services that improve the lives of their subscribers. Our platform enables these service providers to build next generation networks and offer higher-value managed service experiences that enable them to grow revenue, increase subscriber loyalty and monetize their network investments for generations.

BEPs, who embrace our platform, understand this competitive threat and that their brand’s central position in the home, the business and the town is their most valuable strategic asset. As such, they must protect and expand continually. Our Intelligent Access network solution and Unlimited Subscriber solution are designed to allow BEPs to simplify their businesses and reduce operating costs, while launching innovative new services in a matter of days and weeks instead of months and years. Our role-based cloud enables BEP teams, such as marketing, operations or customer support, to leverage real-time behavioral analytics to anticipate the subscriber’s needs, whether they are in the home, roaming across the town or managing a small business. Our platform is built to enable BEPs to quickly and easily deploy a growing portfolio of SmartLife™
