Calix Wi-Fi 7 Innovation Powers Managed Service Delivery Across Any Use Case—Giving Customers Greater Flexibility To Outpace Competitors
Calix launches the GigaSpire 7u6m and announces four more Wi-Fi 7 systems coming soon to its robust portfolio, enhancing the flexibility of the singular Calix Broadband Platform so customers can easily and quickly deliver advanced services to residential, small business, commercial, and MDU markets
Today, Calix, Inc. (NYSE:CALX) launched the GigaSpire® 7u6m mesh Wi-Fi 7 extender, expanding its industry-leading Unlimited Subscriber™ portfolio. The 7u6m joins top-performing Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6/6E systems, giving broadband service providers (BSPs) greater flexibility to deliver advanced managed services that meet growing subscriber demands. Later this year, Calix will release four additional Wi-Fi 7 systems designed for residential, small business, commercial, and high-density multi-dwelling unit (MDU) environments. Each system integrates with the Calix Broadband Platform, enabling BSPs to mix and match solutions across their networks to grow revenue by delivering differentiated SmartLife™ experiences—like fully connected and immersive smart homes, low-latency connectivity for cloud-based business applications, and reliable managed Wi-Fi for tech-savvy MDU residents.
Leveraging the complete Calix Platform—including Unlimited Subscriber, Intelligent Access™, and Calix Cloud®—BSPs of all sizes are transforming into broadband experience providers, competing on subscriber experience rather than speed and price alone. Every Wi-Fi 7 system from Calix is backward compatible, allowing seamless mixed deployments while protecting previous investments. Each system is Wi-Fi Alliance certified and integrates with Calix Cloud for rapid service activation, streamlined operations, and scalable growth. Optional XGS-PON ONT integration also ensures frictionless deployment and readiness for Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD)-funded expansion.
Following today's launch of the 7u6m, Calix will add four additional Wi-Fi 7 systems to the Unlimited Subscriber portfolio later this year:
- GigaSpire 7u6: Expanded access to multigigabit services for homes and small businesses. The forthcoming 7u6 will give BSPs a cost-effective and easy path to extend Wi-Fi 7 into residential and business segments. Compact and powerful, it is ideal for homes, businesses, and apartments—elevating connected living with SmartHome™, boosting small business productivity with SmartBiz™, and delivering high-performance experiences for apartment dwellers through SmartMDU™. Its space-saving design fits neatly in structured wiring enclosures while effortlessly supporting streaming, video calls, voice services, and more.
- GigaSpire 7u10t.2 and 7u10txg.2: Optimized performance for gamers, streamers, and remote workers. The upcoming 7u10t.2 and 7u10txg.2 are performance and deployment-optimized next-generation Calix Wi-Fi 7 solutions. These systems are designed to strengthen the stickiness of SmartHome managed services with extreme performance for demanding home applications—from gaming to 4K/8K streaming and cloud computing. With full 10G fiber connectivity, BSPs can deliver ultra-responsive experiences for remote workers, content creators, and power users. These systems support Wi-Fi, voice, Ethernet, and more, so BSPs can meet the growing needs of connected homes and businesses with unmatched performance and reliability.
- GigaPro 7p6: Wired-like speeds via wireless connectivity for small businesses, commercial spaces, and MDUs. Launching later this year, the GigaPro® 7p6 will support high-density, low-latency connectivity. For BSPs deploying SmartMDU, the 7p6 can support shared amenities like security systems, tenant Wi-Fi, and back-office networks. Plus, BSPs can reduce wiring costs and simplify deployment using Power over Ethernet (PoE). For business environments like office buildings, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities, the 7p6 extends SmartBiz capabilities like cybersecurity and simplified network segmentation to power advanced digital displays, real-time automation, and more.
Calix is dedicated to helping BSPs solve resource and talent gaps with comprehensive support and training. The award-winning Calix Success team provides hands-on guidance, workshops, onsite training, educational materials, and much more to ensure that BSPs can upskill their workforce and maximize the benefits of the Calix Platform.
"We've become a top-rated provider in the Florida and Georgia communities we serve by boldly pursuing our mission to deliver advanced internet experiences," said Michael Shorey, product manager at LiveOak Fiber. "Adopting Wi-Fi 6 was a turning point in how we serve subscribers—so the move to Wi-Fi 7 had to be just as seamless. Thanks to the Calix Platform, we're expanding our managed Wi-Fi offerings with ease, supporting everyone from serious gamers to local businesses relying on cloud computing. The new systems announced today can be seamlessly integrated into our network, providing yet another powerful option to enhance our impact with subscribers."
