SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic
(NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced that 1Tennessee, a broadband
internet, TV and telecomm cooperative in Tennessee, has deployed Harmonic's CableOS™
virtualized cable access solution for DOCSIS 3.0 and 3.1 broadband
service delivery. As the industry's first fully virtualized Cable
Modem Termination System (CMTS), the CableOS solution enables
1Tennessee to cost-effectively deliver 1 gigabit internet
speeds to its growing subscriber base today, while also creating a
flexible foundation for further speed enhancements in the
future.
"We're always striving to deliver the fastest broadband speeds
to our subscribers and looking for ways to bring the most value to
our member-owners. Harmonic's CableOS virtualized cable access
solution fulfills both of those requirements for us," said
John Warmath, president and CEO at
1Tennessee. "Finding a cutting-edge cable access technology that
will work with our existing plant while providing a cost-effective
migration path to distributed R-PHY nodes was our top priority for
this project. The CableOS solution greatly reduces the complexity
of our network operations and met our tight deployment schedule for
introducing next-generation gigabit services."
1Tennessee's architecture is powered by a centralized CableOS
solution with a software-based CMTS core and dense PHY shelves
located in remote facilities. Relying on COTS servers and switches,
the CableOS solution enabled 1Tennessee to quickly launch a 1Gbps
tier offering to its customers.
"Our CableOS offering offers the easiest path to DOCSIS 3.1
service delivery," said Yaniv
Ben-Soussan, vice president of sales, North America cable, at Harmonic. "As smaller
sized operators like 1Tennessee look for ways to increase their
broadband capacity, they can exploit a centralized virtualized CMTS
Core connected to dense PHY shelves in multiple hubs to enable
seamless transition to remote PHY nodes in the future."
