DAY 2 14 WISPAMERICA SHOW I MARCH 24 - 27, 2025 www.bekabusinessmedia.com Calix Enables Brightspeed’s Multi-gig Services Women of WISPA Welcomes Women Leadership Series Founder Brightspeed’s technological innovation rollout powered by the Calix Broadband Platform, enables secure multi-gigabit services, enhances the in-app customer experience and offers a self-managed network solution for business owners. The rapid infrastructure deployment, completed in weeks rather than months or years, demonstrates the efficiency and scalability of the Calix Broadband Platform in accelerating experience providers’ time to market. “When we launched Brightspeed in late 2022, we committed a multi-billion-dollar investment across our footprint to deliver blazing-fast connectivity and improve our customers’ experience — and we are delivering on it,” said Brightspeed CEO Tom Maguire. “Our investment today will support the deployment of advanced technology well into the future — evolving to meet the needs of our customers as new technologies are introduced in our hyper-connected world. “Calix innovation has already helped accelerate our progress while simplifying our business so we can continue to stay ahead for our customers,” he added. Calix President and CEO Michael Weening stated, “The norm in the broadband industry used to be that launching a new service takes up to two years, with complex IT integration and operational cost. The Calix Broadband Platform disrupts the old model by enabling broadband leaders like Brightspeed to deliver powerful, secure Wi-Fi connectivity in homes and businesses without cumbersome and lengthy back-office integrations.
