Ready to build the most efficient networks possible?

Building the most efficient network isn’t just about reducing the management and maintenance efforts required to operate the network. It’s also about reducing the total footprint—space, power and cooling resources required.  ​

Giant of Sustainability Award

We can all be good stewards of our environment while growing our business. Allo set the stage for others when, in May 2023, ALLO unveiled their Sustainability Financing Framework.

Based on public guidelines—known as The Principles—set out by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA), ALLO’s Framework successfully demonstrated that their broadband expansion on the Calix platform would meet criteria around energy efficiency, renewable energy, and the ability to provide access to essential services to underserved customers. ALLO’s commitment to ubiquitous fiber service, supporting nonprofits, and energy efficiency helped them achieve an S2SQ Sustainability Quality Score of “very good.” 

 Success Metrics:

  • 73% reduction in broadband network power consumption
  • 50% less power needed to deliver superior Wi-Fi experience
  • 40% reduction in truck rolls

While helping you build green broadband networks, we’re also doing our part for the environment

Calix has consolidated all of our labs into one Calix Virtual Innovation Lab, enabling our workforce to access needed equipment from anywhere.

This has enabled us to:

  • Eliminate one office building​
  • Reduce the footprint of four other office buildings​
  • Reduce power consumption of our facilities by 3 million Kilowatts of power per year or 52% of our previous usage​
  • Eliminate the impacts of commutes on our environment since our teams can work from anywhere

 

Future generations will appreciate that we are all doing our part!

Calix BSPs are doing their part to ensure a greener future for us all​

Building the most efficient network isn’t just about reducing the​ management and maintenance efforts required to operate the​ network. It’s also about reducing the total footprint—space,​ power, and cooling resources required. Calix BSPs are​ deploying greenest broadband networks.​

Reduce home Wi-Fi energy consumption AND maintain Wi-Fi performance

Energy prices are rising and consumers are under pressure to reduce energy consumption—that applies to electronic appliances as well, including home Wi-Fi gateways and mesh systems.
