Harmonic announced that it is offering a powerful new fiber solution for cable operators in collaboration with Hitron Technologies. The joint offering combines Harmonic's CableOS® FTTx solution with Hitron's NOVA-2002 and NOVA-2004 optical network units (ONUs), creating a flexible, cloud-native infrastructure for sustainable delivery of 10G symmetrical services. Nelson Cable in Virginia has successfully deployed the solution for next-gen broadband delivery.

The CableOS Platform converges multiple access technologies including HFC DOCSIS and XGS-PON with a unified software, provisioning and management system to enable higher speed symmetrical data transfer. By enabling precision PON deployments, the CableOS Platform makes it easier for operators to scale and adapt to changing network requirements and bandwidth demands. As an open solution, the CableOS Platform allows operators to select the ONU that best fits their business and service requirements while avoiding vendor lock-in.

Interoperability between the CableOS Platform and Hitron's ONU solutions empowers operators to deliver speeds up to 10G downstream and upstream.
