Calix Expands Wi-Fi Installation Portfolio With a New Field Service App So Service Providers Can Delight Subscribers While Turbocharging Growth

Calix delivers a new Field Service App,
enabling field technicians to leverage data to optimize subscriber
installations—the third data-driven installation option Calix
offers service providers seeking to accelerate growth and
subscriber satisfaction
Today, Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) unveiled the Calix Field Service
App for the Calix Broadband Platform. This app optimizes home
visits, equipping field technicians with cloud automation and
insights to deliver excellent installation services and facilitate
upselling. With the launch of the app, broadband service providers
(BSPs) partnering with Calix now have three data-driven residential
Wi-Fi installation options: “do-it-yourself” subscriber
self-installation via the CommandIQ® subscriber app,
assisted subscriber self-installation with remote BSP support using
Calix Cloud, and field technician onsite visits fully optimized by
the Field Service App. In this way, BSPs can leverage the power of
the Calix Platform to impress subscribers from the first touchpoint
with customized, data-driven installation experiences. At the same
time, the platform allows BSPs to enhance the efficiency of their
support teams while continuing to differentiate their offerings
with Calix SmartHome™ managed services.
Residential Wi-Fi system installation options are critical to
BSP growth, as the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) market is expected to
continue steadily expanding for the next decade. While subscribers
are increasingly comfortable with installing their own Wi-Fi
systems, field visits are sometimes necessary. Accordingly, Calix
now makes three seamless installation options available so BSPs can
deploy the strategy that best suits the needs of their
subscribers:
- “Do-it-yourself” subscriber self-installation via the
CommandIQ app. Calix recently enhanced the CommandIQ
mobile app, allowing BSPs to offer subscribers a self-installation
option for Calix GigaSpire® and Calix GigaPro™ systems. This gives
BSPs a powerful way to elevate the subscriber experience without a
truck roll. Using Calix Cloud, BSPs can pre-configure the Wi-Fi
system so that it automatically provisions and syncs with the
subscriber’s CommandIQ app when plugged in. The app then
guides the subscriber through the setup so they can start enjoying
secure broadband experiences immediately.
- Assisted subscriber self-installation with remote BSP
support using Calix Cloud. Earlier this year, Calix released
upgraded customer support insights in Calix Cloud that enable
assisted subscriber self-installation with the guidance of a remote
BSP customer service representative (CSR). For subscribers who
prefer convenience with added support, this assisted option
combines the flexibility of self-installation through the
CommandIQ app with help from their CSR. With deep visibility
into the subscriber experience accessible via Calix Cloud, CSRs can
seamlessly jump in to support a subscriber through a successful
installation.
- Field technician onsite visits, fully optimized by the Field
Service App. When a home visit is necessary, the Field Service
App empowers field technicians to deliver white glove service while
reducing operating expenses (OPEX) by consolidating tasks and
speeding up resolutions. It also captures data for backend
automation, streamlining workflows and enhancing service
efficiency. The app integrates cloud automation, including the
Wi-Fi analyzer capability for automated diagnostics and
recommendations, further boosting operational efficiency.
“We expect the Field Service App to significantly improve our
installation processes,” said Troy Mack, network operations manager
at West Carolina. “Its flexibility and usability allow it to
efficiently guide our technicians, standardize best practices, and
deliver critical insights into the subscriber’s home network. With
the app in hand, I’m confident new technicians can easily follow
the same workflow as our seasoned leaders, resulting in streamlined
installations, reduced manual tasks, and enhanced operational
efficiency and service quality.”
As they embrace new installation options to ensure they can meet
the needs of every subscriber, all Calix customers can access the
award-winning Calix Success organization for more personalized,
hands-on support. Calix success managers help BSPs streamline the
transition from truck rolls to subscriber self-installation,
optimize customer support workflows, and more. They are also
rolling out additional installation enablement materials and
guidance to complement the launch of the Field Service App.
“Customer support is a major competitive edge for BSPs,” said
John Durocher, chief customer officer at Calix. “We continuously
improve the Calix Platform and Success organization to help our
customers meet their subscribers’ changing needs. The Wi-Fi system
installation is a crucial first step to make a lasting impression.
Our success managers are dedicated to helping BSPs get the most out
of every installation. By providing data-driven insights and
flexible installation options, BSPs can offer the best experience
to their subscribers, driving growth while upholding their brand’s
high standard of support.”
