Expert Statements

Leonard Dauphinee, president of the prpl Foundation

“Open platforms give operators greater freedom to innovate across a broad device ecosystem. Bringing Calix subscriber applications to the prpl ecosystem gives operators more flexibility to differentiate their services while extending the value of an open platform. We are excited to welcome Calix to the prpl ecosystem.”

Stephen Wilson, senior principal analyst at Omdia

“Global providers have historically faced a tradeoff between maintaining multi-vendor infrastructure and quickly introducing differentiated subscriber applications. Combining the openness of prpl with Calix SmartLife subscriber applications can eliminate that tradeoff and accelerate service innovation. Calix brings a mature portfolio shaped by years of real-world use across millions of subscribers, giving providers a more proven path to differentiated services on prpl-compliant platforms.”

Shane Eleniak, chief product officer at Calix

“Global providers should not have to spend years building, integrating, and refining new applications to deliver differentiated subscriber experiences. We have done the work evolving SmartLife through real-world use and feedback from millions of subscribers—continually making these applications more intuitive, useful, and valuable. That maturity gives providers a faster, simpler path to deploying market-leading services. Supporting SmartLife on prpl extends the vision we established with EXOS on Calix One: an architecture designed to give providers choice and flexibility while making it easier to bring differentiated experiences to subscribers.”
