Green Broadband
Helping BSPs deliver broadband to all,
while also doing our part for the planet

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 green broadband networks with:
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:
"With our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Office and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Initiatives, Calix is committed to the design and delivery of the highest quality solutions that exceed sustainability requirements.

What does sustainability mean for you as a broadband service provider (BSP)?
How can you build an access network that will last for decades?
Is sustainability the missing piece in your future-proof network design?
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.
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.
