Flamingo TV Bonaire Embraces Harmonic's cOS™ Virtualised Broadband Platform

Harmonic has announced that Caribbean internet service provider Flamingo TV Bonaire is embracing Harmonic's industry-leading cOS™ virtualised broadband platform to completely modernise its broadband infrastructure.

Powered by software, Harmonic's cOS broadband platform significantly boosts high-speed broadband connectivity for Flamingo TV subscribers while ensuring greater network efficiency, scalability and a seamless future migration to fibre for the operator.

"High-speed broadband is a lifeline to island residents. Partnering with Harmonic, we are transforming our network to deliver faster internet speeds and improving the subscriber experience," said Patrick Dowling, general manager at Flamingo TV. "Harmonic's cOS broadband platform enabled us to migrate to a distributed access architecture with minimal disruption and deliver next-generation broadband services to our subscribers."

Flamingo TV has deployed Harmonic's cOS platform as virtualised core software along with the company’s Pebble Remote PHY Device and Ripple modular DAA node. Harmonic’s broadband solution provides Flamingo TV with a single platform for DOCSIS 3.1 today and PON in the future, reducing hardware while providing significant power and space savings. The flexibility and scalability of the cOS platform will allow the operator to adapt and grow as subscriber demands evolve in the future.

Additionally, Harmonic's cOS Central provides Flamingo TV with powerful network analytics, improving real-time network visibility and enabling proactive resolution of issues to ensure reliable broadband service availability.

"Flamingo TV's decision to modernise its network with our cOS virtualised broadband platform and DAA technology positions them as a broadband innovator in the Caribbean region," said Asaf Matatyaou, senior vice president, product, broadband business at Harmonic. "By adopting the Harmonic platform, Flamingo TV is maximising the value of their current DOCSIS network and paving the way for future fibre offerings. Their forward-thinking approach demonstrates that broadband infrastructure modernisation and fibre optionality is achievable for operators of any size."

Harmonic's market-leading cOS platform powers next-gen broadband services to more than 33 million homes worldwide for leading operators in North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia.
