Calix Industry-First ONT Speed and Latency Testing Delivers Broadband Performance Insights So Providers Can Differentiate Through Amazing Customer Support

In an industry breakthrough, Calix expands the
cloud capabilities for the Calix Broadband Platform by introducing
the first on-demand ONT speed and latency testing—providing
broadband performance insights that service providers can leverage
to accurately diagnose and address subscriber issues with a simple
click of a button
Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) unveiled groundbreaking capabilities
for broadband service providers (BSPs) with the industry’s only
on-demand optical network terminal (ONT) speed and latency testing.
This innovation further advances the testing capabilities currently
available for Wi-Fi gateways on the cloud-and-software-enabled
Calix Broadband Platform. With the click of a button, BSPs can
utilize the platform to run speed and latency tests to streamline
issue resolution for subscribers—easily deciphering a subscriber
equipment issue versus a network issue without dispatching a
service technician to the subscriber’s home. Additionally, ONT
speed and latency testing on the Calix Platform allows open access
network operators to quickly verify network performance for their
retail internet service provider (ISP) customers.
This industry milestone extends the full set of broadband
service testing capabilities in Calix Cloud®, the cloud insights
engine on the Calix Platform. This robust portfolio began with
support for FCC Performance Testing in partnership with Ookla and
expanded to include multi-gig speed and latency testing based on
the Broadband Forum TR-143 standard. The newly supported on-demand
ONT speed and latency testing capability gives BSPs more visibility
into the quality of service they provide so they can continue to
prove the value of their offerings. With a diverse range of testing
capabilities on one platform, BSPs can more easily ensure
exceptional subscriber experiences that earn a remarkable Net
Promoter Score℠ (NPS®) in the 70s, 80s, or even 90s.
With the latest updates to the Calix Platform, BSPs can simplify
the complexity of support and network operations while improving
the subscriber experience with:
- On-demand ONT-based speed and latency testing to quickly
diagnose issues. By leveraging a fully integrated solution,
this industry-first innovation simplifies speed and latency testing
for the latest generation of Calix ONTs, allowing operations teams
to validate network performance and improve first call resolution.
It also enables faster, more accurate problem isolation during
real-time troubleshooting by providing historical testing over the
past 90 days. Critically, speed and latency tests can be performed
by both customer support and network operations teams directly at
the ONT without requiring access to additional dedicated test
equipment.
- Automated subscriber alarm reporting and high-value
classification for higher CSAT. Network operations and customer
support teams can now identify issues with automated alarm
reporting and scheduled traffic reports to proactively understand
trends and eliminate manual processes. Additionally, BSPs can
streamline troubleshooting for high-value subscribers to better
prioritize issues. The results are reduced trouble calls, quicker
time to resolution, and improved customer satisfaction (CSAT).
- Multi-server capabilities enabling speed testing up to 10
Gbps for geo-diverse markets. BSPs can easily expand multi-gig
(up to 10 Gbps) speed and latency testing coverage to
geographically diverse markets with multiple servers. This helps
mitigate latency during testing, increases accuracy, and validates
service performance.
Calix Cloud has earned significant accolades for its customer
support and network operations capabilities. Calix Service Cloud
recently won the Call Center Award from the 2024 BMMA Best in Class
Marketing Awards and was named a 2024 Customer Product of the Year
winner by TMC. Calix Operations Cloud was also recognized as a 2022
Cloud Computing Product of the Year by TMC.
“There has been a significant lack of industry innovation using
the ONT for speed and latency testing,” said Shane Eleniak, chief
product officer at Calix. “Leveraging our previous innovations in
FCC CAF testing and the more than $1 billion we invested to build
our cloud-and-software-enabled platform, we were well positioned to
achieve this industry milestone for our customers. Our platform
enables BSPs to conduct every test needed—be it to secure funding,
comply with FCC regulations, or now pinpoint and diagnose
subscriber issues at the ONT with just one click. Calix customers
can simply and easily decipher a subscriber equipment issue versus
a network issue without rolling a truck or spending more resources.
As a result, our customers can continue to grow in crowded
broadband markets by differentiating on the customer support they
provide and the exceptional subscriber experiences they
enable.”
