Calix Innovation Awards Recognize Outstanding Achievements from Six Broadband Service Providers

Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) today announced the winners of the 2018 Calix Innovation Awards. The Calix Innovation Awards winners, who represent six broadband leaders from three different countries, were honored at the sold out Calix ConneXions Innovation and User Conference earlier this week. Now in their eighth year, the Calix Innovation Awards recognize Calix customers who demonstrated outstanding creativity to deploy best-in-class services over the last 12 months. The awards showcase innovation in the use of cloud and software platforms, systems, and services to transform businesses models, networks, and the subscriber experience.

 

The 2018 Calix Innovation Award winners are:

Innovations in Next Genration Networks

  • CityFibre
  • Gibson Connect
  • HDC

Innovations in Subscriber Experience

  • ALLO Communications
  • ITS Fiber
  • Nex-Tech

“Our partnership with Calix has been at the heart of our thriving business for many years, and it is an honor to be recognized as one of the 2018 Calix Innovation Award winners,” said Jeff Leslie, president and CEO of ITS Fiber. “Through our deployments of Calix Support Cloud, the Calix GigaCenters, and 804Mesh units, our Whole Home Wi-Fi service has taken off, not only driving new service revenues, but also enabling a differentiated subscriber experience in the home. As we look ahead to Calix Smart Home and Business, we can’t wait to take that service to the next level and cement our place as the smart home experts for our subscribers.”

 

“Calix ConneXions 2018 once again showed the event is the industry’s premier educational conference with record-setting attendance from broadband service providers around the world,” said Michael Weening, executive vice president of field operations of Calix. “The Calix Innovation Award winners were a highlight of the conference as they serve as examples for others to take concepts that were once imagined and make them real, with exceptional results. Each of these broadband leaders have taken control of their future success by building next generation networks and showing a commitment to the subscriber experience that sets the pace for the rest of the industry to follow.”

 

More information and insights from Calix ConneXions, including video recordings of many of the keynote presentations, will be posted on the Calix ConneXions site in the coming days. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more information about the 2019 Calix ConneXions, to be held October 26-29 in Las Vegas.
