SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic
(NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced that Comporium, a leading cable
operator in South Carolina, is
powering its DOCSIS 3.1 Gigabit broadband services with a
virtualized cable access solution from Harmonic. Featuring a
scalable, software-based architecture, Harmonic's CableOS™ solution
provides Comporium with a cost-effective solution for delivering
cutting-edge internet and video services through a distributed
access architecture (DAA).
"Improving our subscribers' quality of experience is a key
initiative, and traditional CMTS solutions fall short of providing
the flexibility, scalability and efficiency we need to
cost-effectively launch multi-gigabit DOCSIS 3.1 broadband
services," said Mike Deller, vice
president of engineering and planning at Comporium. "Harmonic's
CableOS solution saves us significant space, power and legacy
hardware costs, enabling an easy migration from older CMTS
platforms to new virtualized DOCSIS 3.1 networks that will give us
a competitive edge in the market."
Deployed at Comporium in a DAA, Harmonic's CableOS solution is
the industry's first and only field-proven, software-based Cable
Modem Termination System (CMTS) and end-to-end Remote PHY system.
In addition, Comporium is using Harmonic's Electra® XT
high-density transcoder to maximize bandwidth efficiency for IPTV
service delivery.
"Speed is a major determining factor in consumer satisfaction
with broadband services today, and that's why Comporium is joining
a host of other cable operators in North
America and globally to deploy Gigabit internet services
powered by our CableOS solution," said Yaniv Ben-Soussan, vice president of sales,
North America cable at Harmonic.
"The CableOS solution enables continuous improvements in upstream
and downstream bandwidth capacity plus all of the flexibility and
scalability that comes from having a virtualized cable access
solution, positioning Comporium for tremendous business
growth."
Harmonic will showcase its groundbreaking CableOS solution at
the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo, Oct. 1-3 in
New Orleans at booth 247. Further
