SAN JOSE, Calif., June 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic
(NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced a suite of groundbreaking new
capabilities that are being added to its field-proven CableOS™
virtualized cable access solution, including:
- Low-latency mode, enabling significantly enhanced video game
quality of experience
- Double throughput performance with the latest 1-RU Intel
servers and 100G NIC
- Virtual segmentation with network-wide QoS capabilities
- Simultaneous support of centralized and distributed
architectures on a single core server
- Interoperability with standard-compliant, third-party Remote
PHY devices
- Integration of the CableOS Pebble-1 Remote PHY Device into
third-party nodes
"The next generation of CableOS software solidifies our market
leadership position, leveraging our powerful cloud-native
architecture to enable smarter, more flexible and more scalable
multi-gigabit broadband services," said Asaf Matatyaou, vice president, solutions and
product management, Cable Access Business at Harmonic. "Adding
cutting-edge virtual segmentation technology and other advanced
features to our CableOS offering, and riding the Intel curve to
deliver more bandwidth performance with less power, Harmonic is
again moving cable access technology a giant step forward.
Highlighting the agility of a true software architecture to address
new business opportunities, we will provide an industry-first
demonstration of low latency capabilities at ANGA COM 2019,
showcasing a dramatic improvement to the quality of experience for
online gamers."
CableOS software offers support for the latest generation of
1-RU Intel server CPUs and 100G NIC, providing a massive boost in
throughput. By running on state-of-the-art Intel servers, CableOS
software allows operators to keep pace with the latest developments
and performance improvements in IT, breaking out of the cycle of
waiting for and purchasing expensive and quick-to-be-obsolete
custom hardware-based CMTS platforms.
Further expanding deployment options for cable operators,
Harmonic has also added virtual segmentation with network-wide QoS
capabilities to the CableOS solution, allowing operators to
increase bandwidth on existing coaxial cable to feed Remote PHY
devices without deploying fiber to the new segmentation site.
The new CableOS software also supports hybrid Remote PHY
operations for centralized, remote shelf and node deployments. The
solution continues to benefit operators that need a boost in
capacity for low service group counts in constrained, as well as
large-scale environments, delivering flexible deployment options.
Recently, the CableOS solution was successfully deployed in a
traditional HFC architecture with the core server in one location
and compact 1RU CableOS Wave Remote PHY shelves deployed in remote
locations. Harmonic's CableOS Wave Remote PHY shelves use less than
130 Watts, bringing further power, space and cost savings to the
operator.
Building on the value of the unique telemetry capabilities
featured in previous versions of CableOS software, the solution now
provides operators with access to Harmonic's managed network
services and a web-based dashboard to simplify network monitoring.
Offering a complete picture of network performance to speed up
issue resolution, CableOS software ensures superior QoS for
subscribers.
Harmonic will demonstrate the latest capabilities of its CableOS
solution at ANGA COM 2019, June 4-6
in Cologne, Germany, hall 7, stand
G20. Further information about Harmonic and the company's solutions
