Calix launches Revenue EDGE in the U.K. to boost altnet revenue and scores

SAN JOSE, Calif. & LONDON – Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) continues its growth journey and brings the power of its subscriber experience platform, Calix Revenue EDGE™ (Revenue EDGE), to the United Kingdom (U.K.) at this year's Connected Britain conference. Altnet internet service providers are reshaping the future of fiber and now have an opportunity to transform their subscriber experience with Revenue EDGE. This turnkey solution has helped broadband service providers (BSPs) in the United States (U.S.) boost Net Promoter Scores (NPS) and reduce OPEX—with NPS in the 60s, 70s and in one case as high as 90. NPS measures subscriber experience and provides the best metric to anchor altnet customer experience management programs. Similarly, U.S. BSPs were able to reduce OPEX by a third.

The explosion of applications and devices at the subscriber edge represents the greatest opportunity for altnets to create managed experiences that generate new revenue streams.
