Award-winning SmartMDU on the Calix One platform is purpose-built to help service providers support property owners and managers in delivering better connected experiences at scale. Calix delivers new resident activation options, reliable connectivity for vehicles, and greater deployment control.

Today, at its annual innovation and customer success conference, Calix, Inc. (NYSE:CALX) announced new SmartMDU™ capabilities on the AI-native Calix One™ platform, giving service providers more ways to efficiently grow across multifamily markets.

Multifamily properties represent a significant growth opportunity for service providers as property managers seek to attract and retain residents. Increasingly, these residents expect secure, reliable connectivity from the moment they move in—both in their dwelling and property-wide—including historically hard-to-reach areas such as parking garages. Meeting those resident expectations means making Wi‑Fi available and easy to activate from day one, then sustaining that experience.

SmartMDU is purpose-built to simplify the delivery of move-in-ready connectivity across multifamily properties. Its ability to help service providers meet the needs of property managers and residents is reflected in industry recognition—including the 2026 Maravedis "Resident Experience Award" and Broadband Communities’ "Multifamily Technology Partner of the Year"—and service provider results, with resident satisfaction ratings as high as 95 percent.

With SmartMDU, service providers can now deliver a range of expanded capabilities for property owners and managers:

Planned property management system (PMS) integrations will further simplify resident onboarding and offboarding by enabling teams to provision and easily remove resident Wi-Fi access within existing property management workflows, helping reduce manual work and create smoother resident experiences.

All service providers deploying SmartMDU have access to Calix Success™ for expert guidance, training, and support to accelerate deployments and confidently scale across more multifamily properties.

Scott Coonfield, president and chief executive officer at VA SkyWire, said: "When MDU residents move into their new home, they want to get online right away, not schedule an installation or wait for support. SmartMDU on the Calix One platform makes that experience simpler for residents while giving our support team the visibility and tools to resolve issues quickly and efficiently. With Calix, we can serve more properties and continue growing our business without creating more work for our support team."

Shane Eleniak, chief product officer at Calix, said: "Residents do not think about broadband in terms of networks or technology. They think about whether everything works from the moment they walk through the door. For service providers, delivering secure broadband that simply works is how they stand apart. That’s why we are continuing to evolve SmartMDU on the AI-native Calix One platform—helping providers remove friction behind the scenes, scale exceptional resident experiences, and win more multifamily business without adding operational complexity."
