CommandWorx is a self-service mobile app that enables small business owners to monitor and manage their network from anywhere.
Business owners can quickly set up and share Wi-Fi networks, create a brandable customer Wi-Fi portal, manage staff device connectivity, enable network resilience with another cellular device, and more.
CommandWorx can be easily stylized within Calix Cloud to display your logo and match your brand color scheme.
SmartBiz enables business owners to easily setup and manage up to four business-oriented Wi-Fi networks. Each network is isolated and prioritized, keeping business-critical traffic—such as point-of-sale transactions—separate and protected from customer Wi-Fi traffic.
Wi-Fi is an essential service for small businesses, contributing to employee productivity and creating a memorable customer experience. Business owners can customize their customer Wi-Fi portal splash page, which optionally doubles as a marketing tool.
Network resilience helps ensure critical systems stay online by using a cellular device or secondary wired backup connection in the event of a fiber disruption. SmartBiz automatically handles switching between the primary and backup networks, providing business continuity.
Employees can be onboarded onto the staff Wi-Fi network using CommandWorx, enabling improved network security and productivity.
By creating staff profiles with unique passwords, owners have more granular control over content restrictions, internet access, and device management. When a staff profile is removed, only its associated devices will lose network access, eliminating Wi-Fi password changes.
SmartBiz network security protects businesses from cyberattacks and costly downtime. The integrated firewall provides network-level protection from unauthorized traffic and malicious websites, viruses, and intrusions.
Business owners can create and customize content restrictions for each of the networks. SmartBiz provides business owners peace of mind by protecting their business, staff, and customers from inappropriate or harmful content.
