Calix Extends Incredible Outdoor Wi-Fi Range and Performance, Enabling Broadband Providers To Capture $7B Market With SmartLife Managed Services

Calix builds on robust outdoor Wi-Fi
innovations for its transformational broadband platform and
differentiating SmartLife managed services with new systems that
enable one-mile coverage and 6 GHz performance. Thanks to the Calix
Broadband Platform, providers can enable livestreaming at football
games, offer reliable broadband for campers, and deliver a new
value proposition for any business with an outdoor component in a
matter of weeks, not months or years.
Today, Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) unveiled additional outdoor
Wi-Fi capabilities for its broadband platform and SmartLife™
managed services, enabling customers to tap into a $7 billion
outdoor Wi-Fi market projected to grow 60 percent in the next five
years. The new long-range Calix GigaPro® p6dx extends outdoor
coverage up to one mile (1,600 meters). Meanwhile, a 6 GHz upgrade
for the Calix GigaPro p6he significantly enhances performance with
triple the capacity to support livestreaming, social media video
uploads, and other high-bandwidth activities at large outdoor
events. Both systems exist on the Calix Broadband Platform,
enabling broadband service providers (BSPs) to easily deliver
differentiating managed services to large outdoor areas like
campgrounds, city centers, fairgrounds, farms, marinas, and RV
parks. To accelerate time to market and revenue, Calix announced
the upcoming Calix GigaPro GPR4001XH optical network terminal (ONT)
with integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) to further streamline
outdoor installations.
As BSPs increasingly understand that competing on speed alone is
not enough to win markets, they are expanding their offerings with
SmartLife managed services from Calix. Many such managed services
incorporate exceptional outdoor Wi-Fi experiences. Tombigbee Fiber
earned an incredible 92 Net Promoter Score℠ (NPS®) for deploying
managed services like Calix SmartTown® community-wide Wi-Fi across
football fields, parks, and local neighborhoods in northern
Mississippi. They also provide free Wi-Fi for first responders in
areas with unreliable cell service, further demonstrating their
commitment to community. ALLO Communications, the first BSP to
deploy SmartTown, delivers safe, secure, and exceptional outdoor
experiences to enhance communities in Nebraska, Colorado, and
Arizona. Smithville Communications serves a growing number of
business subscribers in Indiana with outdoor Wi-Fi delivered via
Calix SmartBiz™, an all-in-one broadband solution purpose-built for
small businesses.
The latest innovations for the Calix Platform simplify service
expansion with SmartLife by enabling BSPs to:
- Differentiate with powerful outdoor Wi-Fi that extends one
mile. The GigaPro p6dx delivers long-range Wi-Fi—extending
managed services up to one mile across parks, campgrounds, farms,
marinas, and beaches. Supported by Calix Cloud® on the Calix
Platform, outdoor Wi-Fi opens new revenue opportunities for BSPs
and their subscribers. In Michigan, Allband Communications deployed
the GigaPro p6dx to provide Wi-Fi in tree-dense campgrounds,
achieving a 1,000 percent speed increase and greatly improving
campers’ experiences.
- Enable streaming and video calling for large outdoor
events. Updates for the GigaPro p6he enable 6 GHz functionality
for outdoor use, significantly enhancing bandwidth and tripling
system capacity without extra charges or fees. The system is
compatible with both Wi-Fi 6e and Wi-Fi 7 devices. Calix customers
can now support thousands of people streaming or video calling at
events like football games, state fairs, and rodeos. Using GPS
geolocation, the GigaPro p6he dynamically checks 6 GHz channel
availability with the Automatic Frequency Coordination (AFC) system
to protect nearby radar and emergency communications.
- Dramatically simplify and speed new managed service
deployments. All Calix Wi-Fi systems are easy to install and
activate. The upcoming GigaPro GPR4001XH temperature-hardened fiber
ONT will further simplify indoor and outdoor installation with
integrated PoE for SmartTown and SmartBiz deployments. This compact
XGS-PON ONT can fit into small enclosures to support outdoor Wi-Fi
hotspots, cameras, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. It
features four IEEE 802.3bt power-sourcing LAN ports with a 120-watt
power budget and is easily managed via the Calix Platform.
Cloud updates to the Calix Platform enable BSPs to instantly
access and utilize new Wi-Fi systems. They can also rely on
increased subscriber insights from new SmartTown reporting
capabilities. Meanwhile, the award-winning Calix Success
organization offers comprehensive support to ensure smooth service
deployment and management. With these assets from Calix, BSP
leaders can more effectively develop and execute strategies to
differentiate and grow their businesses.
“Delivering dependable Wi-Fi to the campgrounds in our network
was a challenge until we partnered with Calix,” said Ron Siegel,
general manager at Allband Communications. “The GigaPro p6dx
ensures reliable broadband experiences in even the toughest
campground spots. Plus, it is easy to manage thanks to the
efficiency of the Calix Platform and exceptional support from Calix
Success. The Calix team helped survey and analyze subscriber
experience insights to recommend optimal system placements. With
their help, we’ve significantly grown our outdoor Wi-Fi offerings
and look forward to delivering new experiences that will further
delight our subscribers.”
“We continue to see BSPs like Allband Communications, ALLO
Communications, Smithville Communications, and Tombigbee Fiber set
themselves apart from the competition with incredible outdoor Wi-Fi
experiences,” said Matt Collins, chief commercial operations
officer at Calix. “Leading BSPs are avoiding commoditization of
their services by moving beyond speed to deliver dynamic,
differentiated experiences. Calix customers are embracing new
managed services to provide experiences that benefit not just their
members, subscribers, and investors, but their entire community.
Thanks to the power of the Calix Platform, any BSP can add these
capabilities to power their managed services, including SmartTown
and SmartBiz, in a matter of weeks. With the industry’s most
comprehensive Wi-Fi appliance portfolio—now offering a one-mile
range and 6 GHz performance outdoors—BSPs have the tools to truly
transform their communities and lead their markets.”

services enable BSPs to easily deliver differentiating outdoor
Wi-Fi experiences that win markets.
