About

Calix, Inc. sells to communications service providers: telcos and telephone co-ops, cable operators, municipal and regional providers, and national and global carriers. Its pitch is a single platform rather than separate boxes — cloud software, systems and services covering the access network, the subscriber's home or business, and the managed services a provider can sell on top.

On the network side that means access technologies including GPON, 10G-PON, 50G-PON, Active Ethernet and 5G, plus Wi-Fi 7 in the premises. On the subscriber side it means the services a provider resells: home and network security, parental controls, smart-home automation, small-business connectivity, outdoor and public Wi-Fi, and internet for apartment buildings. Its marketing is organised by the role inside a provider it is selling to — general management, marketing, customer support, broadband operations, network engineering.

The company was founded in 1999, was formerly Calix Networks Inc., and is headquartered in San Jose, California, with facilities in Petaluma, Minneapolis, San Jose and Richardson, Texas in the United States and in Nanjing, China and Bengaluru, India.

Backers

Publicly traded on the NYSE; ownership is a matter of public record and the company reports quarterly.
