In recent announcements, Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) solidified its position as a leader in the broadband industry, showcasing its commitment to global industry standards and providing innovative solutions to broadband service providers (BSPs). The company’s GigaSpire BLAST portfolio on the Calix Broadband Platform has become the world’s only system to achieve both the TR-369 and TR-398 Broadband Forum certifications. This achievement firmly establishes Calix as the go-to provider for advanced, standardized broadband infrastructure.
With TR-369 certification, Calix joins an exclusive group of just four systems to have met the stringent requirements set by the Broadband Forum. Simultaneously, the company is actively driving the evolution of connectivity standards, as it owns nearly half of the TR-398 certifications. This remarkable feat exemplifies Calix’s dedication to maintaining cutting-edge technology that adheres to global industry standards.
In addition to its certification achievements, Calix recently unveiled enhancements to its Calix Broadband Platform. This comprehensive platform, consisting of Calix Cloud, Access, and Unlimited Subscriber solutions, equips BSPs with powerful tools to simplify operations and maximize service efficiency. By leveraging these platform enhancements, broadband providers can streamline their processes, reduce costs, and establish sustainable, environmentally-friendly networks.
One BSP that experienced firsthand the benefits of the Calix SmartBiz business solution is DirectLink, a cooperative based in northwestern Oregon. DirectLink is set to more than double its subscriber base in the first quarter of 2024, thanks to the seamless integration of Calix SmartBiz into the Calix broadband platform. Designed specifically to address the network management needs of small businesses, SmartBiz offers purpose-built features, intuitive user experience, and flexible scalability, making it an ideal choice for DirectLink and its business customers.
Calix’s commitment to industry standards, continuous innovation, and end-to-end platform solutions positions the company as the leading provider of broadband infrastructure for an ever-evolving digital landscape. As the demand for reliable and high-performing internet connectivity grows, Calix remains at the forefront, driving transformation and empowering BSPs to meet consumer expectations efficiently.
