“We’ve made it our mission to demystify the funding process for BSPs, regardless of their size,” said Jase Wilson, founder and chief executive officer at Ready.net. “Since the inception of Ready.net, our core focus has been to connect all communities to better broadband services and safeguard families, regardless of geography and socio-economic status. Our partnership with Calix allows us to scale the impact of the solutions we have innovated specifically for the broadband industry. It is about amplifying our impact to ensure BSPs have access to funding opportunities extending to 2030 and beyond. It is an exciting journey ahead, and we are just warming up.”

“Ready.net saved us hundreds of hours, streamlining our path to secure millions of dollars in state funding,” said Darren Farnan, general manager at United Fiber. “We are thrilled to see Calix and Ready.net collaborate to make the funding process significantly easier for customers like us. It comes at a perfect time. When you run a rural broadband business, the partners you choose to work with are crucial to your success. Both Calix and Ready.net exemplify the innovative partnerships that help United Fiber deliver exceptional value to our Missourian communities.”

“Calix was founded 24 years ago with the vision to support the success of rural American BSPs,” said Michael Weening, president and chief executive officer at Calix. “We have maintained our unwavering commitment for decades, as evidenced by BSPs like ALLO Communications, Midwest Energy & Communications, SCTelcom, Tombigbee Fiber, and United Fiber, who leverage the power of the Calix Platform to succeed for their members, investors, and the communities they serve. BEAD is a complex program. Calix believes that complexity should not prevent local BSPs from securing the funding essential to living their values and enabling their subscribers with services that are transforming lives for the better. Together, Calix and Ready.net will simplify the funding process so even the smallest BSP can win with BEAD to create vital communities across rural America.”
