Calix unlocks monumental growth opportunities
for broadband service providers to scale their business offerings
in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom with the
evolution of SmartBiz and new advancements to its broadband
platform that enable the seamless delivery of managed business
services
Today, at its annual customer success and innovation conference,
Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) announced significant innovations to its
broadband platform that will enable broadband service providers
(BSPs) to quickly scale their business markets. Enhancements to the
Calix platform will allow BSPs to equip a wider variety of
businesses with the services they need to thrive. The evolution of
Calix SmartBiz™ will give BSPs more ways to simplify secure managed
Wi-Fi and network management for small business owners with
multiple locations, along with new monetization opportunities. The
company also announced a new business solution to streamline the
delivery of premium managed business services to corporate offices,
entertainment venues, and other mid-sized businesses.
The evolution of SmartBiz—launched earlier this year in the
United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom—will enable BSPs to
simplify network management for small businesses that are the
backbone of rural and suburban communities, including retailers,
restaurants, RV parks, and more. Over the past three decades, the
United States’ 33 million small businesses created 63 percent of
new jobs. Canada’s 1 million small businesses employ 64 percent of
its workforce. In the United Kingdom, 5.5 million “small-to-medium
enterprises” account for 61 percent of private sector
employment.
Off-network management capabilities allow BSPs to service small
businesses with locations in and outside their network footprint.
Small business owners can intuitively manage multiple networks and
oversee staff authentication through the customizable CommandWorx™
mobile app. Guest Wi-Fi analytics will give small business owners
insights to improve customers’ experiences, and a paywall will open
new revenue opportunities.
Calix also announced ManagedBiz™ to enable the delivery of
top-tier managed business services to mid-sized businesses like
corporate offices and entertainment venues. Businesses of this size
often grapple with multiple locations, remote workforces, limited
IT resources, and intricate cybersecurity requirements. ManagedBiz
will harness the power of the Calix platform and a BSP’s trusted
reputation to provide managed services and support for businesses.
Broadband teams will also have access to the Calix Cloud®
management portal to help business subscribers with deployment and
monitoring.
The Calix innovation roadmap includes plans to launch new Wi-Fi
systems for larger offices (Calix GigaPro™ p4) and expansive
outdoor venues (Calix GigaPro™ p6dx). The expanding systems
portfolio will also provide a managed firewall, Wi-Fi controller,
and local networking to meet the indoor and outdoor needs of
ManagedBiz subscribers.
“The Calix platform is helping us provide Oregon-based
businesses with the support they need—enabling us to address their
current problems so they can focus on operating and growing their
business,” said Michael Wynschenk, chief executive officer at
Hunter Communications. “We have a responsibility to provide a
dependable broadband network to our customers, and, with Calix, we
can fix business problems that we have not been able to in the
past. New developments from Calix announced today onstage at
ConneXions will help us be a better service provider so our
customers can focus on what they do best. The introduction of
ManagedBiz will also help us to expand the types and sizes of
businesses our team can support using the same tools and systems we
work with today. We look to Calix for innovation so we can provide
the level of service our customers want and should expect from
us.”
As they grow new markets, Calix customers are supported every
step of the way with Calix Services. Award-winning programs like
Premier Customer Success and Smart Start for Managed Services help
them rapidly plan and execute their go-to-market rollout, align
organizations, and launch new service offerings. Calix Education
Services provides enablement workshops and training courses
designed to help network engineering, operations, field
installation, and customer support teams quickly and successfully
bring new services to market.
“A community cannot remain healthy without sustained success for
its local businesses,” said Michael Weening, president and chief
executive officer at Calix. “In the past, serving business
customers was complex, as BSPs had to cobble together enterprise
technologies that were built by IT organizations—making it
inefficient to scale down for smaller customers. Innovative
customers and leaders like Michael Wynschenk have partnered with
our teams to ensure that our innovation expands the Calix broadband
platform so they can grow. With one platform, our customers and
their teams leverage the same cloud services, workflows, and
training to deliver world-class broadband to multiple markets and
meet the unique needs of each. That is the only way to win in
broadband today—one platform to service a long list of subscriber
needs and different use cases—from small to medium businesses. We
are excited by this massive market opportunity and will continue to
partner with our customers to give them everything they need to
scale their business market offerings and deliver even more value
to the communities they serve.”
ConneXions attendees can check out SmartBiz at the Innovation
Showcase at the Wynn in Las Vegas until October 17.
