Harmonic will showcase transformative innovations at SCTE TechExpo25 that empower operators to:

• Unlock next-gen broadband with DOCSIS 4.0

Harmonic's cOS broadband platform enables Unified DOCSIS 4.0 broadband services supporting both Full Duplex (FDX) and Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) technologies for industry-leading delivery of ultra-high-capacity throughput. Together with Harmonic's Ripple and Oyster DAA nodes, Unified DOCSIS 4.0 on the cOS platform empowers operators to deliver blazing-fast speeds and improved quality of service, gain deployment flexibility and realize significant cost savings.

• Leap forward to fiber service delivery

Harmonic's cOS broadband platform with Pearl R-OLT device, Jetty remote switch and Pier OLT shelf offers an evolutionary path from GPON to XGS-PON and up to 100G PON, helping operators cost-effectively address the demand for high-speed fiber service delivery. Harmonic's Open ONT approach gives operators the freedom to choose the CPE device that best meets their needs, eliminating vendor lock-in and reducing fiber deployment costs.

• Offer brilliant experiences with AI-powered network insights

At SCTE TechExpo25, Harmonic will showcase the new AI Assistant capability for cOS Central that enables smarter, self-healing networks for operators and brilliant broadband experiences for subscribers. Harnessing rich telemetry data from the cOS platform, Harmonic's new AI Assistant helps operators improve network reliability, enhance subscriber satisfaction and reduce operating costs through data-driven decision-making.  

•  Deliver game-changing broadband experiences

Featuring field-proven L4S capabilities, Harmonic's cOS platform delivers ultra-low-lag experiences in congested environments. This is a game changer for latency-sensitive interactive applications such as online gaming, video conferencing and AI responsiveness, allowing operators to deliver real-time connectivity to subscribers. Additionally, Harmonic's Beacon ISM application enhances spectrum efficiency and maximizes bandwidth while reducing truck rolls and subscriber calls, helping operators deliver faster, more reliable services to subscribers.

• Accelerate fiber-like speeds to MDUs

Harmonic's SeaStar™ optical node redefines broadband connectivity for lower-density MDUs by enabling cost-effective, rapid deployment of fiber-grade connectivity in brownfield environments. Powered by the cOS platform, the SeaStar node successfully addresses the challenge of delivering multi-gigabit connectivity to MDUs without costly infrastructure changes — reducing capital expenses for operators while enabling revenue expansion.
