Calix’s New Offerings for Enhanced Connectivity
In a strategic move to bolster service offerings for small businesses and multi-dwelling units (MDUs), Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) has announced significant upgrades to its SmartBiz™ and SmartMDU™ platforms. These innovations are designed to streamline operations and foster growth within two of the telecommunications industry’s most rapidly expanding sectors. The introduction of advanced technologies, including plug-and-play 5G access points and cutting-edge Wi-Fi 7 systems, aims to empower service providers in meeting the increasing demands for reliable connectivity and efficient service deployment.
The latest enhancements to the SmartBiz platform include the GP5G access point and GPS8P/GPS24P managed switches, which are engineered to provide automatic cellular backup and robust network management capabilities.

Advancements in Multi-Dwelling Unit Connectivity
Calix’s new Wi-Fi 7 systems, specifically the GigaPro® 7p6 ceiling-mounted and GigaSpire® 7u4 compact units, are designed to deliver high-performance connectivity in residential settings, ensuring that residents can access reliable internet services from the moment they move in. These systems support modular designs and intelligent management through Calix Cloud, allowing for efficient property-wide deployment and management as portfolios expand. The ease of self-service activation for residents further simplifies the move-in and move-out process, enhancing the overall resident experience.
Customer-Centric Approach and Support
The Calix Success organization plays a crucial role in assisting customers with tailored support, including network design and optimization for MDU communities. This initiative helps service providers minimize the time required to launch new services like SmartBiz. Furthermore, customers benefit from round-the-clock support and access to comprehensive training resources, ensuring they can effectively utilize the platform’s capabilities to drive their business forward.
According to Shane Eleniak, the chief product officer at Calix, every enhancement to the Calix Broadband Platform is crafted to facilitate innovation and growth for service providers of all sizes.
