Deliver Differentiated Experiences Your Subscribers Need, Simply

It’s a message worth repeating: Faster and cheaper are no longer differentiators. Your competitors focus on low prices because that’s all they can offer. While they promote inexpensive broadband, you can leverage your strong community connections and focus on experience.
 

Understanding subscribers’ wants and needs is invaluable, but information alone is not enough. To take your business to the next level, you need a comprehensive solution designed to help you expand your service offerings and improve the subscriber experience.
 

Broadband service providers (BSPs) are using Calix solutions to revolutionize how they deliver internet services. The complement of the Calix Broadband Platform and Calix SmartLife™ managed services help BSPs offer new services across different markets—driving differentiated and meaningful subscriber experiences.

 

The SmartLife Opportunity

You already know what your subscribers want: safe browsing for their children; a secure, robust, and reliable network both in and out of their homes; and access to tools and functionality to help them build their businesses and improve their communities. SmartLife enables you to enhance the subscriber experience by providing tools to expand and deliver value-based offerings.
 

SmartLife offers a range of service options to cater to every subscriber combination through its four distinct offerings:

  • SmartHome™ delivers remarkable broadband experiences for residential subscribers tailored to their needs.  

  • SmartBiz™ offers a purpose-built solution for small businesses prioritizing security and productivity along with a branded Wi-Fi experience.

  • SmartTown™ extends the Wi-Fi experience throughout your subscribers’ communities.

  • SmartMDU™ builds personalized Wi-Fi for MDU residents and streamlines operations for property managers.
     

Taken together, SmartLife offers a comprehensive solution to enhance customer satisfaction, boost revenue, and prepare your organization for future competition.

 

Calix Broadband Platform—A Scalable Growth Engine

But how do you efficiently launch and manage SmartLife solutions across multiple business lines?

The Broadband Platform allows end-to-end service delivery solutions through:

With their hallmark modular architecture, Intelligent Access systems meet the needs of high-capacity data centers and scale down to the most remote subscriber locations.
