SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic (NASDAQ:
HLIT) today announced CableOS™ Central, a new AI-enabled service
that features data analytics, 24/7 operational support and
engagement tools for cable operators. Designed to complement
Harmonic's CableOS virtualized CMTS solution, CableOS Central
provides operators with an intelligent and customizable way to
proactively identify and address technical issues and network
capacity opportunities, enabling delivery of superior-quality
internet, voice and video services.
"While we were originally drawn to Harmonic's CableOS solution
because it enabled faster broadband while addressing critical space
and power requirements, access to the network data provided by this
solution has been a real game-changer for our operations," said
Rick Mlcek, president of shared
services at Buckeye Broadband.
"CableOS deployments continue to gain momentum, and Harmonic is
once again breaking barriers with its new CableOS Central service,"
said Gil Katz, senior vice
president, Cable Access Business Operations, at Harmonic.
"Leveraging the rich data analytics available through our platform,
CableOS Central is a powerful new service enabling operators to
predict and address issues before they become service-affecting. As
operators continue to roll out scalable gigabit broadband services
and provide advanced entertainment, business and home-security
service offerings, CableOS Central is essential for delivering
exceptional quality of service."
Harmonic's CableOS Central service is composed of three service
pillars: Data Analytics, Operations and Engagement Portal.
CableOS Central Data Analytics service continuously
collects, synthesizes and presents network data through a modern
set of real-time dashboards, smart alerts and notifications,
enabling unprecedented service visibility. Unlike legacy cable data
monitoring systems that periodically report the health of only a
few network elements, the CableOS platform provides rich real-time
data spanning the network physical layer, from data-center servers
to remote devices, access network performance parameters and
application traffic patterns.
CableOS Central Operations features a 24/7 team of
cable access and networking experts, augmented by an innovative AI
toolset. This team complements operators' existing network
operations centers by continuously analyzing data from CableOS
Central Data Analytics, detecting and diagnosing issues, predicting
future problems and assisting with configurations and upgrades.
CableOS Central Engagement Portal enables operators
worldwide to quickly and efficiently engage directly with Harmonic.
It is a state-of-the-art connected platform that provides operators
with powerful tools for case planning, calendars, software
downloads, product and deployment documentation and event
management.
Harmonic will demonstrate its CableOS Central service at the
SCTE Cable-Tec Expo, Oct. 1-3, in
New Orleans at Booth 247. Further
