Executive Vice President, Customer Engagement and Services, Calix
When I think of what goes into delivering an outstanding subscriber experience, my mind automatically turns to football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. No matter what the sport, it takes the entire team—players, coaches, trainers, and support staff—working together for the win. As a broadband service provider (BSP), your entire “team” is dedicated to delighting subscribers, and it starts on the front line with your install and repair (I&R) technicians.
As your trusted partner, Calix is continually innovating to provide the platforms, solutions, and services that will help you:
The Power of Calix Support Cloud—Right in Your Hand
We’ve listened to what you—our customers—wanted, and we’ve delivered with a responsive UI that puts the full power of Calix Support Cloud in the palm of the I&R tech’s hand. Mobile devices are nearly ubiquitous in our daily lives, and we’re continuing to leverage mobile technology to strengthen the customer support process, bringing the critical information and insights in Support Cloud directly to your frontline workers.
Support Cloud empowers your I&R techs, whether they’re on a new subscriber install or responding to an issue, delivering the instant insights that streamline the install process, reduce trouble tickets, speed response times, avoid unnecessary truck rolls, and drive greater support efficiency. We complement this by giving subscribers easy-to-use self-service capabilities, right at their fingertips, through the CommandIQ® mobile app.
We’re making it even easier for customer support teams to offer a concierge-level subscriber experience that will increase satisfaction, reduce churn, and build loyalty. Now that’s the power of partnership.

Learn How West Carolina Tel Field Techs Are Faster and More Efficient With Calix Support Cloud
Christina Wilson
I recently connected with Troy Mack, manager of network operations at West Carolina Tel, a telecommunications cooperative serving members across eight counties in South Carolina and Georgia. The recipient of the 2020 Calix “Innovations in Revenue EDGE” Award for Customer Experience, West Carolina Tel prides itself on ensuring subscriber satisfaction at every step of the journey. We discussed the critical role that field technicians (field techs are also known as installation and repair (I&R) techs) play in creating an outstanding subscriber experience, how innovative tools and technologies enhance field techs’ day-to-day work, and best practices that have changed how they support subscribers in the COVID era and beyond.

Ask any broadband service provider (BSP) customer support team what they want in a Wi-Fi 6 system, and you’re likely to receive a long list. They want a system that will help streamline installation, enable seamless upgrades, reduce inbound trouble calls, simplify troubleshooting, ensure a long lifespan, and lower CAPEX and OPEX. And of course, the systems also need to deliver unbelievable performance and offer a range of services that will excite subscribers, build loyalty, and reduce churn.

Everyone across your organization—sales, marketing, operations, finance, and, of course, customer support—is committed to ensuring your subscribers are thrilled with their broadband service. Frequently that fantastic subscriber experience starts with your field techs (or installation and repair (I&R) technicians); they are the first point of subscriber contact and the face of your brand.
