SAN
JOSE, Calif., Sept. 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT)
today announced that U.S. service provider Bluepeak Fiber is
taking a major step toward future-proofing its broadband network
with Harmonic's industry-leading cOS™ virtualized
broadband platform. Using Harmonic's virtualized core software and
versatile edge devices, Bluepeak has the flexibility to support
DOCSIS 4.0, 10G and fiber, solidifying its commitment to delivering
high-speed, reliable internet to customers.
"Having a broadband platform that is software upgradable to
DOCSIS 4.0 and fiber-ready is a crucial step for us. By investing
in a flexible solution, we are evolving with industry advancements
and eliminating the need for major infrastructure changes," said
Cash Hagen, chief operating officer at Bluepeak Fiber. "Harmonic's
cOS virtualized core will enable our customers to enjoy unrivaled
speeds and reliable connectivity while reducing our operational
expenses."
Bluepeak will deploy Harmonic's cOS virtualized software in a
distributed access architecture (DAA) with Harmonic's Pebble Remote
PHY Device and Ripple modular DAA node. The solution will
streamline Bluepeak's operations by consolidating multiple hubs
into one or two hubs per region, boosting operational efficiency
and resolving space and power constraints.
Harmonic's solution will allow Bluepeak to unlock the full
potential of BoostD 3.1, a specialized capability on the cOS
platform that delivers fiber-like speeds at over 8 Gbps downstream.
In addition, Harmonic's cOS Central service will boost Bluepeak's
network visibility, providing real-time, high-volume data insights
to proactively address service issues and ensure a superior
subscriber experience.
"Bluepeak is committed to building modern infrastructure for
fast, reliable internet, and we're excited to support their efforts
in connecting communities throughout the Great Plains and Midwest,"
said Jeffrey Glahn, senior vice
president, global sales, broadband at Harmonic. "Our virtualized
core software and versatile edge devices will boost broadband
speeds and maximize the value of Bluepeak's existing DOCSIS 3.1
network."
