Harmonic says it has made “significant advances” on a unified DOCSIS 4.0 solution that delivers multigigabit symmetric speeds over existing infrastructure using the new unified D4.0 chipset.
The tech firm intends to 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 (Atlanta, Georgia 24-26 September) in a joint demonstration with Comcast.
The 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.”
The cOS platform powers an intelligent ecosystem of network edge devices, allowing operators to provide multigigabit speeds, regardless of the physical wiring or current infrastructure.
“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 platform is powering next-gen broadband services to more than 30 million homes worldwide for leading operators in North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia.
