The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program is a $42 billion federal investment designed to enhance broadband infrastructure across the United States, ensuring equitable access and supporting connectivity improvements. Each state and territory will have specific deadlines; check in with your local broadband office for more details.

Ready.net provides custom-built software solutions that streamline every stage of the broadband funding process. Founded in 2020, the company specializes in network planning and analysis tools that help broadband service providers (BSPs) estimate costs and project revenues efficiently. Ready.net’s solutions streamline the planning, challenge, and application phase, making participation easier for BSPs.

After concluding its previous partnership, Ready.net became exclusively associated with Calix. This partnership focuses on simplifying the complex BEAD application process, making it more accessible for local BSPs to secure funding and remain competitive with large providers.


This partnership seeks to address the challenges of the BEAD program by equipping BSPs with resources and assistance to guarantee successful funding submissions. The collaboration uses Ready.net’s software solutions to make the funding submission and compliance processes easier and faster.

Through this partnership, BSPs gain access to powerful tools that help assess the viability of a robust BEAD application and streamline the application/challenge process. Calix’s funding team integrates these tools into our Funding Consult Program to assist customers in crafting winning applications and managing compliance efficiently.
