Calix (NYSE: CALX) announced that rural Missouri provider BOYCOM Cablevision is using its Calix One platform to improve subscriber experiences and operations.

Calix (CALX) released a communications language model on Hugging Face and plans to introduce specialized models for Calix One customers.
The planned models, called Calix Gems, are scheduled for introduction in 2027. Calix intends to tailor them to specific tasks and deployment locations, from subscriber endpoints and access networks to the cloud. Initial focus areas include security threat detection and mitigation, locally optimized subscriber experiences, and network troubleshooting. The company expects to deliver more capabilities in 2027 than it did in the previous two years.
Calix (NYSE: CALX) expanded SmartMDU on its Calix One platform with new connectivity and management capabilities for multifamily properties.
Residents can now activate service through a unique Wi-Fi network name or before moving in using a one-time code initiated by a property manager. A dedicated vehicle network provides managed Wi-Fi in parking facilities, with resident-specific access that ends at move-out. The expanded GigaPro managed switch portfolio also gives service providers more visibility and control across SmartMDU deployments.
Calix (NYSE: CALX) launched three GigaPro managed switches on its Calix One platform to support SmartBiz and SmartMDU service deployments. The new models are the GPS8P, GPS24P, and GPS10TP, designed for business, multifamily, and residential environments.
The portfolio offers different port densities, Power over Ethernet capacities, and multi-gigabit performance options. Providers can provision, monitor, and manage the switches alongside Calix indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi appliances and SmartLife services through the same cloud-based platform.
Calix (NYSE: CALX) launched Control Center and expanded AI workflows for its Agent Workforce offering on the Calix One platform. Control Center provides a conversational workspace personalized by role and permissions for marketing, service, and operations teams.

Calix (CALX) launched Subscriber Agent, a conversational AI assistant in its refreshed CommandIQ mobile app for residential subscribers to manage connected homes.
Built for the Calix One platform and Calix Agent Workforce, the assistant accepts voice and text requests for tasks such as diagnosing connectivity problems, creating guest networks and managing parental controls. Subscribers review household-management changes before they take effect. Calix said the experience is intended to reduce routine support calls and strengthen subscriber loyalty. Calix Success is also releasing customizable campaigns, launch resources and guidance to support provider adoption.
Calix (NYSE: CALX) unveiled updates to its Agent Workforce and SmartLife offerings at ConneXions 2026 for service providers.

The applications operate within existing prpl-compliant management environments on supported gateways, preserving providers' choice of gateway, chipset and infrastructure. SmartLife on prplOS also connects to the Calix One platform. Calix says the availability gives providers a faster deployment path without lengthy, custom integrations across individual hardware platforms.
Calix (NYSE: CALX) announced that its board increased its existing common-stock repurchase authorization by an additional $100 million.
Calix said the increase is intended to provide greater flexibility in capital allocation. Repurchases may use open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other methods. Timing, price and size will depend on prevailing stock prices, economic and market conditions, and capital allocation considerations. The authorization does not obligate Calix to buy any dollar amount or number of shares.

SmartBiz adoption exceeded BBT's initial subscriber goal. The service runs on the Calix One platform and lets business owners manage connected devices through the CommandWorx app. Using Calix Operations Cloud, BBT also identified subscribers affected by low optical light levels, resolved many issues within one week, and continued work on the remainder.
