Harmonic To Display Broadband Access Innovations

Harmonic is to showcase its latest broadband access innovations for fibre and DOCSIS networks at ANGA COM in Germany.

These advancements empower operators with increased speeds and enhanced network reliability, unlocking new revenue opportunities and improving subscriber retention.

"In the fiercely competitive broadband landscape, reliability, speed and optionality are levers for broadband service providers to sustain long-term growth and profitability," said Nimrod Ben-Natan, senior vice president and general manager of Harmonic's Broadband Business, and CEO-designee of Harmonic. "At ANGA COM, we'll showcase how our broadband solutions enable operators to enhance quality of subscriber experience and achieve multigigabit internet speeds with greater flexibility."

At ANGA COM, Harmonic will highlight the following broadband access innovations, enabling operators to:

• Maximise broadband speeds and enhance service quality: Harmonic will demonstrate its new Beacon intelligent speed maximiser (ISM) application for DOCSIS networks running on the cOS™ virtualised broadband platform that maximises upstream and downstream speeds, mitigates network impairments and drives subscriber retention.

• Facilitate fiber migrations and service delivery: Harmonic will unveil a new remote Optical Line Terminal (R-OLT) device powered by the cOS platform supporting GPON, XGS-PON, ComboPON and more to economically address multiple use cases, market needs and broadband access architectures.

• Experience the freedom of an Open ONU: With an Open ONU strategy, Harmonic will show how its cOS platform integrates with a broad range of operator-selected ONUs, that allows operators to break free from vendor lock-in, benefit from competitive ONU pricing and simplify network evolution.

• Gain flexibility to address diverse market needs: Harmonic solutions leverage fiber and DOCSIS technologies simultaneously to boost speeds, increase quality of subscriber experience and ease network evolutions for a variety of scenarios.

• Enable future readiness: Harmonic's cOS platform with DOCSIS 4.0 extended spectrum DOCSIS (ESD) achieves record downstream speeds of over 9Gbps, significantly increased upstream speeds and improved security.
