I assume some of the folks on this list who are doing fiber use Calix ONTs and routers?
If I go to the Calix website, maybe as a provider thinking of using them as a vendor, I am totally confused. It is not clear what products they sell or how I would use them. It all seems to be glossy marketing stuff about their agentic AI cloud and market insights. I don't see a single picture of a piece of hardware. Is this how a lot of ISPs are making money despite charging low prices? Do they have an "agentic workforce" monitoring how their customers use the Internet, cross referencing it to demographics, and mining that data for ads, upselling, etc.? It seems they have special cloud features for MDU managers as well. It seems a lot of cable companies use Amazon's eero, I wonder if service provider eero is like Calix, or if it's just the retail eero with a few remote management features added.
