Harmonic and Comcast Collaborate to Revolutionize Broadband
Harmonic and Comcast Team Up for Broadband Enhancement
Harmonic's Converged Broadband Solution Supports Internet Provider's Expansion Efforts
Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) and Comcast are collaborating to advance the availability of fiber broadband as Comcast enhances its network into new regions. The company has made significant strides, expanding its network to over one million new locations, with a further 1.2 million locations on the horizon. The integration of Harmonic's industry-leading cOS™ virtualized broadband platform and advanced network edge devices plays a crucial role in delivering multi-gigabit symmetrical broadband with minimal lag to both residential and commercial users.
“Our network is growing rapidly, and thanks to Harmonic's cOS platform, we have the flexibility to deploy fiber or enhance our existing DOCSIS infrastructure. This will provide essential connectivity to a vast number of homes and businesses,” stated Dan Rice, Vice President of Access Engineering at Comcast. “By introducing multi-gigabit Internet with low latency, we are unlocking new possibilities for communities, and our partnership with Harmonic is vital for achieving this goal.”
The growth of Comcast's network facilitates the efficient rollout of fiber-based services that can operate alongside coaxial offerings on the shared virtualized broadband platform. This not only supports cost-effective installations in rural areas but also includes projects funded through BEAD. Harmonic's cOS platform empowers Comcast with a unified solution for multi-gigabit services, streamlining operations, cutting costs, and making it easier to deploy node-based remote switches and optical line terminals (OLT) that connect customers directly to Comcast's network. These technological innovations are complemented by Harmonic's virtual Broadband Network Gateway (vBNG) and Jetty Remote Switch featuring Fin Remote OLT in Harmonic's Ripple DAA node.
“Our collaboration with Comcast is consistently pushing forward industry innovation. We are setting benchmarks in the broadband sector by implementing solutions that enable rapid and large-scale network expansions,” remarked Asaf Matatyaou, Senior Vice President of Product at Harmonic. “Together, we illustrate how DOCSIS technology and fiber can work together harmoniously on a virtualized broadband platform to deliver ultra-low latency and highly reliable connectivity to wider communities.”
Recognized as the leader in cable broadband equipment, virtual CMTS, and DAA by Dell'Oro Group, Harmonic's market-leading cOS platform fuels next-gen broadband services for over 35 million customer CPE devices across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
Harmonic will showcase the newest advancements in their cOS virtualized broadband platform during SCTE TechExpo25. Meetings can be scheduled with Harmonic representatives during the event.
