Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced that Cablenet Communication Systems plc ("Cablenet"), the second largest fixed network operator in Cyprus and a leading converged fixed and mobile operator, is modernizing its broadband access network with Harmonic's market-leading cOS™ virtualized broadband platform. The deployment strengthens Cablenet's gigabit service capability, simplifies network operations and enhances subscribers' quality of experience (QoE).
A Platform Built for the Next Generation of Broadband
With Harmonic's virtualized cOS platform in a DAA with low-power Oyster nodes, Cablenet can introduce significantly higher speeds across its footprint and efficiently scale services as subscriber needs evolve. The cOS software-based platform also preserves flexibility for Cablenet's longer-term multi-technology network strategy.
Consolidating Infrastructure and Reducing OPEX
The cOS platform supports Cablenet's approach to consolidating data centers and simplifying hub-site infrastructure as part of the operator's cost-optimization initiative. By moving network functions from legacy hardware to Harmonic's software-based platform, the operator can reduce space, power and wiring requirements and lower OPEX while streamlining operations.
