Our third quarter results were above our guidance, reflecting strong performance in our customer base for the quarter," said Carl Russo, Calix President and CEO. "This performance contributed to revenues in the first nine months of 2015 increasing 4.4% compared to the first nine months of 2014. In addition, solid execution and favorable product mix led non-GAAP gross margins for the first nine months to increase to 49.8% compared to 46.1% in the same period last year," added Russo.

"Earlier this week the era of Software Defined Access began. During our Calix User Group, we introduced AXOS, the most important launch in our company's history. AXOS is a Linux-based network operating system and software application platform. AXOS was built from the ground up to mesh with the coming shift to Software Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization across all communications networks. Most importantly, AXOS enables our customers with a 'fast,' 'always-on' and 'simple' access infrastructure over which the flexible, real-time deployment of services to their subscribers becomes a reality. This is a watershed event in our industry and we are extremely excited by the benefits AXOS brings to our customers as well as to Calix," added Russo.
