Companies mentioned

Calix, Inc. secured the 11th position on Fast Company's 2025 list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies within the enterprise sector. This recognition underscores Calix's focus on empowering broadband service providers (BSPs) to enhance their profitability and create sustainable value for communities. In recent years, Calix has transitioned from a hardware provider to a comprehensive cloud-and-software platform, investing $1.3 billion over 13 years. This strategic pivot allows its customers to differentiate themselves in the broadband market and to avoid challenges associated with industry commoditization. The Calix Broadband Platform and SmartLife managed services enable BSPs to evolve into broadband experience providers (BXPs) and extend exceptional offerings beyond residential broadband to businesses and communities. This approach helps drive economic growth and improve quality of life in various areas by implementing solutions like “smart towns,” which enhance citizen connectivity and support first responders during critical situations. Michael Weening, Calix's president and CEO, emphasized the company's commitment to innovation to meet the evolving needs of its customers, affirming that the recognition from Fast Company speaks to their dedication in transforming the broadband landscape.
