Calix One Delivers Agents and Agentic Workflows To Securely Scale Service Provider Revenue Growth While Reducing OPEX and Churn

SAN JOSE, Calif.—May 21, 2026—Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) today announced the launch of secure, private agents and agentic workflows at scale, with all 1,200+ customers live on the third-generation, AI-native Calix One™ platform, powered by Google Cloud. Delivered through Calix Agent Workforce Cloud, these capabilities span the full Calix portfolio, including Service Cloud, Engagement Cloud, and Operations Cloud—to optimize marketing, customer support, and network operations functions—and SmartLife™ across access and subscriber solutions. Service providers regardless of size can now deploy these capabilities as a unified platform or as individual components to scale their success.

After 15 years and more than $2 billion in investment, Calix One is now processing over a petabyte of data daily and executing more than 4.3 billion workflows and operations annually—as the industry’s only AI-native platform. Unlike isolated AI agents, agentic workflows on Calix One orchestrate end‑to‑end execution using unified context, spanning network conditions, subscriber experience, service history, and operational state. This enables service providers to move from static, rules-based workflows to dynamic, context-rich, real-time workflows that adapt situationally and execute against unique goals to accelerate business outcomes. Calix One securely extends this foundation through model context protocol (MCP), integrating third-party data from business systems and ecosystem partners to further extend agentic workflows. Over time, Calix One will expand to deliver secure agent-to-agent (A2A) capabilities—enabling agents to securely determine the right action, sequence tasks intelligently, and carry execution with even greater precision and speed.

The release of Calix agents and agentic workflows began on May 12 and will continue at a rapid pace. Key workflows include:

• Acquire subscribers: Agentic workflows dynamically coordinate targeting, engagement, conversion, and onboarding—enabling service providers to accelerate subscriber growth through differentiated, experience-led journeys across residential, business, and multi-dwelling unit (MDU) markets. Supporting agents include high-value prospect identification, personalized offers, collateral recommendations, campaign performance monitoring, and optimization recommendations.
  
  
• Grow revenue: By connecting diagnostics, subscriber context, and experience benchmarks, workflows identify unmet needs and execute next-best actions in real time, in one coordinated motion—turning service moments into revenue opportunities that increase average revenue per user (ARPU) and lifetime value. Supporting agents include segment recommendation and creator, collateral recommendation, and campaign performance monitoring.
  
  
• Reduce churn: Continuous analysis of network, service, and experience signals enables earlier issue detection and proactive intervention—improving quality of experience, increasing loyalty, and reducing churn before issues escalate. Supporting agents include churn prediction signal indicator, home network optimization, competitor offering, pricing and promo monitoring with recommended response, and high-risk customer offer campaigns creator.
  
  
• Lower network operating costs: Agentic workflows coordinate detection, impact analysis, prioritization, and remediation across domains—reducing time to resolution, preventing outages, and lowering operational costs through faster, more precise execution. Supporting agents include anomaly detection, home network fix, network health, diagnostics and optimization, and monitoring compliant with Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD).
  
  
• Reduce subscriber support costs: Automated diagnostics, guided troubleshooting, and personalized self-service streamline support operations—improving first-contact resolution, reducing repeat interactions, and lowering cost-to-serve at scale. Supporting agents include subscriber self-service and troubleshooting, anomaly detection, diagnostics, issue validation, and measurement.

The agentic phase of the Calix platform builds on the first two generations of platform innovation, which have driven 15 years of customer success by helping service providers transform their operations and accelerate delivery of differentiated experiences—so they can compete and win in any market. Calix customers have long demonstrated industry‑leading outcomes, including Net Promoter Scores℠ (NPS®) in the 70s, 80s, and even 90s, higher ARPU, and lower operating costs.

Michael Weening, president and chief executive officer at Calix, said: “Since November 2023, when we began investing to evolve the platform and integrate AI natively into everything we do, we have been building toward this moment to position every customer for success in the AI era. Calix One, our AI-native platform, safeguards the privacy and security of our customers and their subscribers in ways that bolt-on solutions cannot achieve. That deliberate investment has put in place a foundation that allows us to move fast—delivering new agentic capabilities that help our customers accelerate outcomes across their business.

“We have already proven that the platform approach delivers innovation at a pace that siloed technology cannot match, scaling from 77 features in 2017 to more than 900 in 2024, delivering highly differentiated managed services like SmartHome™, SmartTown®, SmartMDU™, and SmartBiz™ that enabled our service provider customers to compete and win in the markets that they serve, with Net Promoter Scores as high as 92. This next phase builds on the experience gained from evolving our second-generation platform and partnering with customers to create new opportunities. Calix is best positioned to translate over 4.3 billion annual workflows and a petabyte of data daily into further reductions in OPEX and even faster subscriber acquisition and revenue growth for our customers. In addition, we will create new market expansion opportunities for customers in the MDU market and help them win—with the highest margins and NPS—in multi-family, hospitality, venues, student housing, and senior living.

“We are building on more than 26 years of trusted partnerships to help our customers maintain and grow their leadership position in the AI era.”
