SAN JOSE, Calif.: $CALX #calix--Today, Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) announced significant updates to Calix SmartHome™ that will help broadband service providers (BSPs) meet every home internet need with enhanced security and comprehensive offerings. Unveiled at Calix ConneXions, these SmartHome innovations make it easier for BSPs to support the growing demands of residential subscribers, seamlessly handling online work, play, and more—all on one network. The redesigned Calix CommandIQ® app lets subscribers manage advanced network settings, ensuring a smooth experience for everyone in the home. Critical security services—ProtectIQ® network-level cybersecurity, ExperienceIQ® advanced content controls, and new ScamWatchIQ™ for dark web identity monitoring—will come standard in SmartHome. These offerings will help BSPs defend subscribers from increasing cyberattacks projected to cost $10.5 trillion by 2025. Additionally, new premium SmartHome managed services will allow BSPs to further tailor offerings for unique subscriber needs like HomeOfficeIQ for mobile backup or GamerIQ™ for optimized gaming performance.
SmartHome transforms BSPs into experience providers, enabling them to succeed in a market where speed alone is insufficient. Because SmartHome is integrated with the Calix Broadband Platform, BSPs can leverage real-time insights to quickly launch new services with minimal operating expense (OPEX). This enables them to deliver exceptional experiences that enrich family time, support growing remote work careers, and power thrilling online entertainment. Premium managed services like anti-cyberbullying monitoring and property protection with connected cameras will further set Calix customers apart while addressing the growing responsibility to safeguard their subscribers. In 2024, cyber threats from state-affiliated, criminal, and ideologically motivated actors have escalated, increasingly targeting U.S. residents.
With the evolution of SmartHome on the Calix Platform, BSPs have the tools to create safe, value-based broadband offerings that address every residential need, thanks to:
“The expanded SmartHome managed services portfolio will enable us to better serve our customers with critical services to help them be safe and have a better online experience,” said Marcus Bott, vice president of operations at Rally Networks. “Since these services are integrated with the Calix Platform, our team can easily launch them while keeping OPEX low. This enables us to swiftly implement new services that protect all our residential subscribers from rising cyber threats while empowering remote workers, supporting students, providing families with peace of mind, and keeping gamers engaged with seamless and safe connectivity.”
Calix customers can access Calix Success for support deploying SmartHome managed services. The Success team offers help with everything from network design and optimization (Success Delivery) to tailored guidance for launching new services and reducing time to revenue (Success Guidance). Customers also benefit from 24/7 support for network and service availability (Success Support) and access to top-tier training and certification (Success Education).
“Community-focused broadband service providers now have the opportunity to protect even the most vulnerable subscribers, like the elderly, who are frequently targeted by sophisticated cyberattacks,” said Michael Weening, president and chief executive officer at Calix. “With the latest SmartHome enhancements, we’ve listened to our customers and made it simpler for them to meet their growing responsibility to protect residential subscribers from increasing security threats. After investing over a decade and more than $1 billion into our platform, Calix customers remain agile and can quickly incorporate new innovations to meet evolving household broadband needs—all backed by advanced security. This is the future of residential broadband, and Calix customers are leading the way.”
SmartHome is part of the Calix SmartLife™ portfolio of purpose-built managed services, enabling BSPs to quickly and seamlessly deliver tailored Wi-Fi services for different subscriber segments using the same cloud-enabled broadband platform. The portfolio also includes SmartTown® (community), SmartBiz™ (small business), and SmartMDU™ (multi-dwelling units).
Calix ConneXions attendees can stop by the SmartHome booth at the Wynn in Las Vegas, October 14 and 15.
