Harmonic Transforms Cable Access Market With Industry's First Software-Based CCAP Solution - Seite 2

Beyond streamlining the migration to the new DOCSIS 3.1 specification over existing cable access infrastructure, the CableOS solution offers breakthrough RF port density for centralized architectures, affording operators dramatic cost savings over traditional cable access architectures.

"At SCTE, we believe that the trend toward network virtualization and moving cable access functionality onto software offers great benefits for cable operators," said Chris Bastian, SCTE chief technology officer. "The ability to have a much smaller footprint in the headend while maintaining reliability, security and service levels is an important step forward in the industry, and Harmonic is taking a lead role in this endeavor."

The CableOS software-based CCAP solution is currently in trials at multiple tier-1 cable MSOs in North America and Europe. The first commercial deployments are expected to commence in Q4 2016.
