Empower Networks, Drive Returns: Unlocking Growth With the Calix Broadband Platform

As the broadband industry surges forward with unprecedented funding opportunities like the $42.5 billion BEAD program, Broadband Service Providers (BSPs) face a pivotal choice: Will you simply build the network, or will you transform it into a platform for sustainable growth, innovation, and community empowerment?
 

At Calix, we enable BSPs to evolve into Broadband Experience Providers (BEPs)—a transition that not only benefits subscribers but also drives meaningful business outcomes. With the Calix Broadband Platform, you can deliver measurable results that maximize returns for investors and BSPs alike.

Proven Results: A Platform That Delivers

The Calix Broadband Platform is engineered to optimize network performance while enhancing the subscriber experience. These efficiencies translate into reduced costs, increased subscriber retention, and stronger financial performance. Some examples include:

• 40%+ reduction in truck rolls
• 80%+ improvement in First Call Resolution (FCR)
• 35%+ reduction in Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
• 45%+ faster installs
• 40%+ reduction in network alarms

These results demonstrate how operational excellence can directly improve margins and create sustainable growth. For BSPs, these efficiencies mean lower operational expenses (OPEX), higher average revenue per user (ARPU), and better long-term ROI.

Beyond Infrastructure: Creating Value Through Transformation

While funding programs like BEAD provide the capital to build networks, the real opportunity lies in transforming these networks into platforms for growth, innovation, and community impact. The Calix Broadband Platform empowers BSPs to deliver innovative managed services that:

• Build subscriber loyalty which leads to lower churn
• Generate new revenue streams to produce “stickier long-lasting" customers
• Differentiate their brand in competitive markets and increase market share
