Harmonic's cOS platform provides unified support for XGS-PON, EPON, COMBO-PON, DOCSIS 3.1, and DOCSIS 4.0, enabling operators to seamlessly manage both fiber and coaxial networks. This convergence facilitates the deployment of 10G fiber services over existing coaxial infrastructure and ensures compatibility with third-party Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) and Optical Network Units (ONUs).
The platform's virtualized core software reduces the need for physical hardware in headend and hub sites, significantly cutting space, power, and cooling costs. High-density deployment options, such as outdoor cabinets and hardened nodes, further enhance network capacity while minimizing construction and maintenance expenses.
By integrating advanced fiber and DOCSIS technologies, the cOS platform accelerates the deployment of new services, shortens time-to-market, and provides operators with the agility needed to meet evolving market demands.
