Harmonic has plans to help cable operators balance the needs to offer ever-faster broadband speeds, while reducing space, power and other cost constraints.
At this year’s ANGA COM, Harmonic will demonstrate the power and benefits of its virtualised cable access solution CableOS and VOS 360 video SaaS solutions, already deployed by operators and media companies around the globe.
“The dynamic nature of software is breathing new life into cable access and video delivery workflows,” said Nimrod Ben-Natan, senior vice president and general manager, Cable Access Business at Harmonic. “With software-based and cloud-native solutions, operators and service providers can realize greater operational efficiency, increased agility and scalability. With our flexible, future-forward solutions, operators can deliver gigabit internet and OTT video much faster than ever before, which we are excited to showcase at ANGA COM.”
Harmonic will showcase next-generation capabilities for CableOS, the industry’s first software-based Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) and end-to-end Remote PHY system, designed to support both centralised and distributed architectures. CableOS offers market-leading broadband access speeds to consumers and enterprises, while simultaneously overcoming space, power and other legacy hardware technology constraints.
The on-stand demo includes a sneak peek of a new low-latency feature for CableOS that drastically improves gamers’ quality of experience.
Harmonic also has the answer to launching OTT channels faster using SaaS (Software as a Solution). Hosted in the public cloud, VOS 360 SaaS unifies the entire media processing chain, allowing operators to launch video streaming services faster, be more agile and simplify operations. By supporting a wide range of business models, VOS360 SaaS enables operators to create and deliver revenue-generating, broadcast-quality OTT streaming services.
