Enhance your BEAD Networks with Services that Transform

With over $40 billion in funding, the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program offers an unparalleled opportunity to finance a BABA-compliant network infrastructure.

But building the infrastructure is only the beginning. The networks of tomorrow must be more than just pipelines for connectivity. They need to serve as platforms for growth, innovation, and safety. This is where the real transformation begins.

The most forward-thinking providers will leverage BEAD funding to evolve from Broadband Service Providers (BSPs) into Broadband Experience Providers (BEPs). BEPs do more than deliver high-speed internet; they empower communities with meaningful services that protect families, enhance daily life, and generate long-term revenue streams.

So, the question isn't just how you'll build your network. But rather, how you'll use it to create lasting value-for your subscribers, your community, and your business. Will you stop at connectivity, or will you rise above to deliver an unparalleled broadband experience?

Three Ways to Empower Your Community While Driving Sustainable Growth

1. Safeguard Homes and Families with Network-Level Cybersecurity: Protecting your community starts with ensuring their digital safety. With ProtectIQ®, you can deliver robust, always-on network-level security to shield homes from evolving cyberthreats like malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks. Subscribers gain peace of mind knowing their devices are protected, while the Calix CommandIQ® app keeps them informed with real-time notifications whenever a threat is blocked. By prioritizing security, you not only foster trust within your community but also create a premium service offering that drives loyalty and long-term revenue.

2. Foster Safe Online Spaces for Children and Teens: Families need more than connectivity-they need tools to navigate the digital world responsibly. Bark Social media monitoring empowers parents to protect their children from risks like cyberbullying, online predators, and harmful content, all while respecting their privacy. Parents receive timely alerts for potential issues and can set screen time limits, filter websites, and track their child's location. By offering Bark, you position your network as a vital resource for family safety, meeting a deeply personal need that subscribers are willing to pay for.

3. Strengthen Neighborhoods with Community-Centric Security: Empower subscribers to take control of their safety and build stronger neighborhoods with Arlo Connected Cameras. These advanced devices offer real-time AI-driven alerts, video monitoring, and integration with local emergency response systems. Whether it's helping prevent package theft or monitoring public spaces, Arlo cameras provide peace of mind. By focusing on safety, you're not just connecting homes-you're helping protect what matters most.

From Connectivity to Community Transformation-Set Yourself Apart and Build a Lasting Legacy

Smart BSPs know the value of layering managed services on top of their networks. The Calix Broadband Platform uniquely enables BSPs to deliver these services at scale, creating a foundation for ongoing growth and innovation.

Don't stop at building the network, take the next step and transform into a BEP. Don't just connect-deliver personalized, experience-driven solutions that improve lives, protect communities, and build loyalty. Subscribers will reward this approach by staying longer, using more services, and increasing your average revenue per user (ARPU).

While others settle for being infrastructure providers, you can stand out as a true innovator.

The choice is yours: Will you follow the conventional path, or will you redefine what's possible with your BEAD investment? With the right strategy and the Calix Broadband Platform, you can go beyond the network, ensuring your success-and your community's prosperity-for years to come.
