Brightspeed Seamlessly Modernizes Network; Creates Secure, Agile, Future-Proof Experiences for Homes and Businesses
Brightspeed announces the launch of multi-gig-speed services and SmartBiz, enabled by the Calix Broadband Platform
Brightspeed's technological innovation rollout powered the Calix Broadband Platform, enables secure multi-gigabit services, enhances the in-app customer experience, and offers a self-managed network solution for business owners. This rapid infrastructure deployment, completed in weeks rather than months or years, demonstrates the efficiency and scalability of the Calix Broadband Platform in accelerating experience providers’ time to market.
“When we launched Brightspeed in late 2022, we committed a multi-billion-dollar investment across our footprint to deliver blazing fast connectivity and improve our customers’ experience—and we are delivering on it,” said Brightspeed CEO Tom Maguire. “Our investment today will support the deployment of advanced technology well into the future—evolving to meet the needs of our customers as new technologies are introduced in our hyper-connected world. Calix innovation has already helped accelerate our progress while simplifying our business so we can continue to stay ahead for our customers.”
“The norm in the broadband industry used to be that launching a new service takes up to two years, with complex IT integration and operational cost,” said Michael Weening, president and CEO of Calix. “The Calix Broadband Platform disrupts the old model by enabling broadband leaders like Brightspeed to deliver powerful, secure Wi-Fi connectivity in homes and businesses without cumbersome and lengthy back-office integrations. We are thrilled to see Brightspeed leveraging our platform to launch their 2-gig service in days versus months or years. We look forward to partnering with the Brightspeed team to launch new services and experiences at a record rate for the consumers and businesses across the 20 states they serve—growing ARPU, reducing churn, and attracting new subscribers at a rapid pace.”
