Broadband Providers Are Streamlining Operations, Resolving Network Issues Faster Than Ever and Dramatically Reducing Costs With New Calix Operations Cloud Capabilities

New Calix Operations Cloud innovations enable broadband service providers to transform their network, support, and marketing operations with the End-to-End Solution Strategy of Revenue EDGE, Intelligent Access EDGE, and Calix Cloud

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) today launched new network insights and automation capabilities for Calix Operations Cloud (Operations Cloud) to enable broadband service providers (BSPs) to transform their network operations. Now BSPs can aggregate alarms in logical groups, whether that is by service tier, geography, or network technology/topology, to help rapidly isolate and diagnose issues and resolve service disruptions efficiently. The latest Operations Cloud enhancements enable BSPs to reduce service calls, minimize repair times, and optimize network performance. With Operations Cloud, BSP teams now have complete visibility across the entire subscriber-facing network. The new Operations Cloud capabilities further enhance the Calix End-to-End Solution Strategy that brings the Revenue EDGE and Intelligent Access EDGE solutions together with Calix Cloud to simplify network operations, support, and marketing functions.

Operations Cloud leverages machine learning and actionable insights to automate workflows, reduce truck rolls, lower support costs, and increase subscriber satisfaction. The solution offers an end-to-end view of network health by providing visibility into the critical systems and operations in the access network as well as the subscriber experience inside the premises. This end-to-end view significantly increases operational agility for BSPs, enabling them to dramatically slash OPEX by proactively identifying potential network issues and solving them before they occur. The latest enhancements enable BSPs to achieve three key benefits:

• Rapid first call resolution. Network Operations can proactively and rapidly resolve service-impacting issues, such as fiber cuts, with new intelligent alarm management and correlation capabilities. This enables BSPs to avoid unnecessary truck rolls, reduce the volume of inbound support calls, and increase subscriber satisfaction.
• Reduce repair time. Network Operations can quickly identify and repair outages with detailed PON utilization and ONT health alerts. These insights, also available to their peers in Customer Support through Calix Support Cloud, allow NetOps and Support to collaborate—using the same data—to find the root causes and quickly fix them. Now BSPs can realize the benefit of end-to-end visibility and increase subscriber satisfaction by addressing the most significant issues impacting network uptime and speed.
• Optimize network performance. Network Operations can create the ultimate subscriber experience by leveraging new traffic analysis and playback capabilities to optimize network performance. This enables BSPs to automate the collection of traffic flow data to precisely track, analyze, and address network issues that take place over time or within a specific window.

Together, these enhancements create a more intuitive user experience for BSPs that enable Network Operations to efficiently identify and address key service issues.

“Subscriber satisfaction is a huge priority for us, which is why we are eager to proactively address potential issues before they affect service. Operations Cloud has played a key role in helping us do so by enabling us to replace seven disparate legacy systems with a single platform,” said Chad Boyce, network manager at SCTelcom. “With Operations Cloud, we are significantly increasing subscriber satisfaction, reducing truck rolls, and cutting OPEX. We are looking forward to further transforming our Network Operations with new Operations Cloud enhancements that will intelligently group actionable network alarms—enabling us to accelerate first call resolution, reduce repair time, and optimize network performance.”

“By providing an end-to-end, 360-degree view of the access network and subscriber health, Calix Operations Cloud is delivering actionable insights that BSPs can leverage to identify usage trends, quickly spot high-bit error rates, and detect traffic anomalies,” said Shane Eleniak, executive vice president of products at Calix. “Increased operational agility and automation enabled by new Operations Cloud capabilities means BSPs can shift their focus to adding subscribers and quickly turning up new services.”
