Flashback to our first logo in 2000! Founded in August 1999, Calix’s initial aim was to serve as a hardware company, enabling rural broadband service providers in the U.S. and Canada to build fiber networks and succeed against national competitors. In 2011, Calix began a 12-year transformational journey and $1.2 billion investment to build a unique and comprehensive broadband platform. As a result, Calix moved from a hardware company to platform, cloud, and managed services company, leveraging the power of software and the benefits of the cloud for our customers. Today, broadband service providers leverage the Calix Broadband Platform and SmartLife® managed services to: 👌 Simplify their operations, subscriber engagement, and services 💡 Innovate for their consumer, business, and municipal subscribers. ⬆️ Grow their value for members, investors, and the communities they serve.
