Calix ranked 11th on Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list

Calix, Inc. has earned the 11th position on the Fast Company 2025 list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies in enterprise. This recognition underscores Calix's ability to enhance the success of broadband service providers (BSPs), enabling them to deliver value to their communities and achieve sustainable profitability.

The latest ranking highlights Calix's focus on customer impact, stemming from a commitment that has seen the company invest $1.3 billion over the last 13 years to transition into a comprehensive cloud-and-software platform. This platform allows BSPs to differentiate themselves by providing secure and exceptional user experiences.

Through its Calix Broadband Platform and SmartLife managed services, the company is helping BSPs transition to becoming broadband experience providers (BXPs). A growing number of customers are broadening their services beyond residential broadband, reaching into business markets and enhancing connectivity within entire communities.

Recognition from Fast Company also points to Calix's ongoing initiatives to drive community improvements through managed services like SmartTown, which connects citizens and first responders while providing reliable Wi-Fi services during public events. In addition, Calix has continually engaged with customers to refine its offerings, ensuring the solutions align with their evolving needs.

Michael Weening, president and CEO of Calix, emphasized the company's commitment to transformation, stating, “We knew our customers needed more than faster speeds—they needed innovation to drive value across residential, business, and community markets.”
