Platform details
Complete, end-to-end AI-optimized innovation creates greater value at scale
Calix Broadband Platform’s modern Large Language Model (LLM) application architecture utilizes Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and agents to connect LLMs to external data and tools.
Pioneering agentic AI for the service provider industry, the AI-enabled Calix Broadband Platform improves accuracy with current, domain-specific knowledge and enables complex, multi-step actions.

Trusted, scalable AI infrastructure revolutionizes how service providers compete and win
- Trust and security
- Orchestration
- Knowledge
- Data
Trust and security
Facilitates data privacy and access control to ensure AI systems are reliable, safe, ethical, and compliant.
- Core function: answer questions such as “Who can do what, where and when, ” and governs agent behavior and decision-making authority
- Defines agentic autonomy and business logic enforcement
- Data retrieval security, audit trails, and human-in-the-loop supervision
Orchestration
Coordination of multiple AI agents, with distinct skills, to work together toward a shared, complex goal.
- Breaks complex into workflows of many steps
- Limits knowledge required for each incremental task
- Drives cross-domain outcomes
Knowledge
Structured information and learned patterns enable Agents to reason, plan, and make decisions.
- Knowledge graphs, machine learning, embeddings
- Rich RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) based architecture ensures that Large Language Models (LLMs) understand context and are accurate.
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers enable real-time contextualization and correlation of business data sources like campaign management, trouble ticketing and workforce management systems into the knowledge layer.
Data
Aggregation of subscriber, premises and network data as the foundation for knowledge.
- It acts as a single, governed source of truth
- Calix, BSP, OSS/BSS and trusted partner data
Tech stack
The Calix Broadband Platform is built on a secure, scalable foundation using Google Cloud’s AI and data infrastructure.
Calix is building a robust, secure and scalable platform for modern cloud-native applications, leveraging Google Cloud's Kubernetes Engine (GKE) for deploying, managing and scaling containerized applications.
At the core of this platform is Calix’s proprietary data layer that provides deep 360-degree insights about our customer’s network and their subscriber base. Built on Google’s strong data stack comprised of DataStreams and BigQuery, the data layer serves as the backbone for key AI implementations.
Building a robust knowledge layer, especially for Generative AI applications including techniques like RAG, Graph RAG using various VertexAI solutions, BigQuery and Cloud Spanner for real time transactional consistency.
Calix’s system integration layer allows robust management of network traffic and telemetry information across our customer’s premises and access devices in near real time through an industry standard secure NATS gateways integrated with Kafka and a real time Store via Google Spanner.
Calix’s next generation platform enables smart workflows that allow complex orchestration and real time insights for a myriad of customer services including Wi-Fi management on RGs, subscriber onboarding on ONTs, network provisioning via OLTs, via Google Workflows backed by an Alloy DB operational store and Looker analytics.
Calix’s AI Agent Work Force, built with ADK framework using Gemini and other specialized LLMs, will be a game changer allowing broadband experience providers (BXPs) to deliver service faster and achieve hyper scale efficiency.
Calix’s AI platform follows a multi-layered security approach using Cloud Armor, NGFW for perimeter protection and depth in observability with Google’s integrated SecOps Suite to secure our infrastructure in its entirety, following basic principles of least privilege and industry standard encryption to secure our customer networks and data.
The Calix Agent Workforce embeds sophisticated agents directly into a broadband service provider’s (BSP) day-to-day workflows, delivering automation of complex tasks. The result is secure, trusted, and actionable AI that empowers BSPs to simplify marketing, operations and customer support.
