SAN JOSE - Calix, Inc. (NYSE:CALX), a $3.88 billion market cap company whose stock has surged nearly 79% over the past six months, announced new capabilities for its SmartHome and SmartTown services aimed at helping broadband service providers (BSPs) deliver differentiated experiences and increase revenue streams. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong financial position with more cash than debt on its balance sheet.
The company introduced HomeOfficeIQ, which provides cellular backup connectivity for remote workers, and enhanced security features including ScamWatchIQ for email monitoring and ScamPRO for identity theft resolution support.
