Field techs can easily connect to Calix Cloud and gain end-to-end visibility across subscribers, systems, and services. These actionable, data-driven insights help simplify troubleshooting and enable white glove treatment. Subscriber insights also equip technicians to offer recommendations that personalize and enhance the experience, such as additional SmartHome and SmartBiz managed services or mesh units.

Comprehensive speed testing
Comprehensive speed testing

Field techs can easily validate the service experience with speed and latency tests to the GigaSpire System (residential gateway) and/or to the ONT* to verify the quality of the fiber connection. Additional speed tests (up to 10 Gbps**) throughout the residence allow field techs to identify weak areas, optimize device placement inside and outside the home, and if needed, recommend additional mesh units to ensure an optimal experience.

With insights similar to those in Service Cloud, the Wi-Fi analyzer helps field teams review service quality and troubleshoot connectivity issues. Powerful capabilities enable teams to pinpoint and solve problems proactively—reducing escalations and costly follow-up truck rolls.

These include:

  • Topology that provides a network visualization, allowing techs to drill down to each device
  • The quality of experience (QoE) score that measures the subscriber’s experience and helps field teams identify and resolve issues quickly
  • Speed and latency test results, bandwidth utilization, WAN status, and configuration
  • Insights into the wireless gateway and any associated mesh units
  • Site scans that provide detailed information on radio frequencies and channels to identify potential congestion or interference

The Field Service App provides a detailed summary of the onsite visit, documenting every aspect of the installation, repair, or upgrade. This timestamped summary—the field certificate—is captured as a PDF, uploaded to Service Cloud, and can be emailed to the field tech and other recipients. This information gives support and operations teams an important reference point and comparison to speed future troubleshooting and improve quality.
