Harmonic Brings New Edge Cloud Innovations With Its Powerful New Edge Cloud Extension

Recently, Harmonic, a company that develops and markets video routing, server, and storage products for other companies, has announced a powerful new edge cloud extension to its CableOS access platform.  

For the first time ever, these technological advances will enable cable operators to deploy compute resources. they will be able to leverage IP access networks and distributed cloud-native applications such as flexible DOCSIS MAC, 5G OpenRAN, and video CDN. The company is trying to combine its new capabilities with its cloud-native DOCSIS.  

The company has recently announced fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) XGS and 10G EPON applications.  

Over the years, CableOS solution has continued to raise the bar as the most powerful and transformative access platform in the broadband industry.
