Through a new series of commercials for Calix’s new Wi-Fi products, Canadian celebrity, Gerry Dee, once again plays his role as a father who’s just trying to get the best internet experience and protect his family. This year’s commercials take Gerry from the house to the soccer field to the local coffee shop as products like SmartBiz and SmartTown deliver amazing Wi-Fi experiences far from home. In these comedic shorts, Gerry gives broadband service providers the highlights and benefits of each new product that will help them become giants of their communities.
