Harmonic's cOS™ Virtualized Broadband Platform
is the Industry's First Solution Unifying FDX and FDD DOCSIS
4.0
SAN
JOSE, Calif., Sept. 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT)
today announced significant advances on a unified DOCSIS 4.0
solution that delivers multigigabit symmetric speeds over existing
infrastructure using the new unified D4.0 chipset. Together
with Comcast, Harmonic will showcase the cOS™
virtualized broadband platform, the industry's first solution to
unify both variants of DOCSIS 4.0 — Full Duplex (FDX) and Frequency
Division Duplexing (FDD) — at SCTE TechExpo24. This breakthrough
solution enables operators to deliver unprecedented multiple
gigabit symmetrical speeds of up to 9Gbps.
"In less than a year, with Comcast we've transformed the concept
of unified DOCSIS 4.0 into a real-world solution ready for
implementation," said Nimrod
Ben-Natan, President and CEO of Harmonic. "Leveraging both
unified DOCSIS 4.0 and PON fiber technologies, this solution plays
a critical role in enabling the future of broadband service
delivery."
With the cOS platform powering an intelligent ecosystem of
network edge devices, operators are empowered to provide
multigigabit speeds, regardless of the physical wiring or current
infrastructure. The cOS platform accelerates the time to market for
new, high-value broadband services, while ensuring a smooth
evolution to a robust network.
"We're providing our customers the best connected experience no
matter the wire that serves their home," said Elad Nafshi, Chief Network Officer, Comcast.
"This groundbreaking solution from Harmonic continues to enhance
our ability to deliver our next-generation network — with
symmetrical multigigabit internet speeds, lower latency, and even
better security and reliability — to millions of people and
businesses across our network."
Harmonic's cOS fiber solutions will also enable the use of
Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) funding in
alignment with Build America, Buy America (BABA) requirements, as
both companies continue to work together to bring reliable,
high-speed broadband to more subscribers in rural communities.
Harmonic's market-leading cOS platform powers next-gen broadband
services to more than 30 million homes worldwide for leading
operators in North America,
Europe, Latin America and Asia. To learn more
