SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- At SCTE
Cable-Tec Expo® 2017, Oct.
17-20 in Denver, Colorado,
Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT), the worldwide leader in video delivery
technology and cable edge virtualization, will demonstrate how its
virtualized CCAP and over-the-top (OTT) solutions are driving
next-generation gigabit broadband services and OTT deployments.
With Harmonic solutions, operators can launch revenue-generating
services faster, save CAPEX and OPEX, and deliver differentiated
high-quality OTT video offerings.
"The cable industry is responding to significant changes in
consumer expectations. As consumer demand for OTT streaming, video
on demand, time-shift TV and cloud DVR accelerates, operators are
looking to dramatically increase broadband capacity and flexibly
deliver these new video services while minimizing operational
complexity and cost," said Nimrod
Ben-Natan, senior vice president and general manager, Cable
Edge Business, at Harmonic. "At SCTE Cable-Tec Expo, Harmonic will
show how it is rising to meet these challenges with cable edge
solutions that virtualize CCAP environments, enabling a new
generation of compelling video services to be delivered via IP
infrastructure."
CableOS™ Virtualized CCAP Solution Now Deployed and Gaining
Market Momentum
Harmonic's CableOS virtualized CCAP solution
is the industry's only software-based Cable Modem Termination
System (CMTS) and the first end-to-end Remote PHY system,
delivering unparalleled scalability, agility and cost savings.
Announced a year ago, CableOS is now deployed with leading
operators in the U.S. and internationally. Supporting centralized
and distributed architectures, the CableOS solution resolves space
and power constraints in the headend and hub, eliminates dependence
on hardware upgrade cycles and reduces TCO.
Turnkey, Managed Service for Skinny TV Bundles Becomes Easy
to Launch
Harmonic is offering a completely new, end-to-end
turnkey service that makes it easy for tier 2 and 3 cable and telco
operators to launch their own OTT multiscreen service. The hosted
and managed white-label TV service will be branded for every
customer, and supports retail platforms such as Roku, Apple TV,
Amazon Fire, as well as iOS and Android devices. Live TV,
time-shift, VOD and nPVR capabilities are available and delivered
in pristine video quality, powered by Harmonic's VOS 360 cloud
service, ensuring a unified user experience on any device. Cable
and telco operators can now rapidly and cost-effectively launch
skinny bundles, or a full lineup, over their broadband network.
OTT QoE Reaches New Heights
OTT quality of experience
(QoE) is reaching new heights thanks to Harmonic
innovations. Utilizing one-of-a-kind analytics technology,
Harmonic's EyeQ™ content-aware video compression solution reduces
bandwidth up to 50 percent while maintaining superior video
quality, making it a game-changer for OTT delivery. Harmonic's OTT
solution helps operators in the cable market distinguish themselves
from the competition with lower latency, reduced buffering and
better QoE, all critical today for video services delivered in the
home via WiFi and outside the home on secondary devices such as
smartphones. This is achieved by leveraging Harmonic's cloud,
Docker or appliance-based solutions.
In addition to the demonstrations at the Harmonic booth,
Asaf Matatyaou, vice president,
solutions and product management, cable edge business, at Harmonic,
will give a presentation at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2017 on "Real-World
