LAS VEGAS, Oct. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) today, from the main stage at ConneXions 2018, launched the Calix GigaSpire™ smart home system powered by EXOS™, the Experience Operating System. Subscribers are spending more than $2 billion each year with consumer electronics retailers in a quest to improve their Wi-Fi and smart home connectivity. Now, communications service providers (CSPs) can be the first to market with a system that delivers the most powerful mesh Wi-Fi in the world, universal IoT support and Amazon Alexa built-in. By seizing the initiative in the smart home, CSPs can elevate their revenues by capturing subscriber spend while delivering an unmatched subscriber experience.

Both GigaSpire models will provide:
While every GigaSpire smart home system is powered by the EXOS operating system, the GigaSpire MAX takes full advantage of the modular, industry-standard architecture of EXOS. Thanks to this architecture, the GigaSpire MAX is the ultimate smart home system as it adds:
With the launch of the GigaSpire, CSPs now have a smart home system that will give them the upper hand in the battle for the smart home and the means to deliver an unmatched subscriber experience.
“The Calix GigaSpire smart home systems include all of the advanced features and functionality service providers need to respond to changing subscriber demands,” said Shane Eleniak, SVP of Platforms for Calix. “The unprecedented combination of Wi-Fi 6 and universal IoT connectivity with voice services built-in—all powered by EXOS—allows service providers to elevate both their brand and the subscriber experience. The ability to add new subscriber services without complex deployments, make this far and away the best smart home solution on the market. The fact that it’s only available to service providers will allow them to elevate their position in the subscribers’ lives and deliver a solution that is future-proof. Instead of a capital expense, their smart home systems will become a strategic weapon and a platform for growth.”
