U.K. altnets now have everything they need to move beyond speed and differentiate themselves with a suite of subscriber managed services from Calix—from Wi-Fi at the premises to online protection for the network and family members
Calix, Inc. 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 fibre 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.
