JUNE 20, 2007, PETALUMA, CA—Calix today announced that its customer Greenfield Communications was named a 2007 NXTComm Eos Award winner for its fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) networks in California and Arizona. Greenfield, along with 12 other category winners, will be recognized tonight at a reception at NXTComm in Chicago.
