Vectra Powers Broadband Transformation With Harmonic

News Image
Harmonic today announced that Vectra, one of the largest internet providers in Poland, has selected Harmonic's industry-leading cOS™ virtualized broadband platform to accelerate its multigigabit broadband service expansion, enable selective migration to deep fiber infrastructure and power its new wholesale fiber and DOCSIS offerings.

This deployment marks the world's first implementation of Harmonic's PTP-less capability for distributed access architecture (DAA), setting new standards of excellence for broadband deployments with increased reliability, simplified operations and cost savings.

"Partnering with Harmonic aligns perfectly with our strategy to lead Poland into the new era of multigigabit broadband connectivity," said Bartlomiej Irzynski, CTO of Vectra. "The flexibility of the Harmonic cOS platform will enable us to offer outstanding broadband experiences that subscribers expect today while allowing for seamless future migration to fiber and next-generation DOCSIS networks. The Harmonic platform also empowers us to create new revenue streams with bitstream access and wholesale-over-DOCSIS services."

Vectra will deploy Harmonic's cOS platform in combination with Reef Remote PHY (R-PHY) Shelves, Oyster DAA nodes and a range of remote OLT devices. Vectra will also enable fiber connectivity to lower-density brownfield MDUs leveraging existing in-building coax wiring through Harmonic's newly launched SeaStar Optical Node.

Adopting a PTP-less Virtualized Core allows Vectra to eliminate the complexities of traditional timing networks and increase reliability, simplifying rollouts and accelerating time to market for advanced broadband services.

The cOS platform will enable Vectra's selective DOCSIS-to-PON migration for the delivery of high-speed fiber connectivity to targeted areas utilizing existing infrastructures, significantly reducing the operator's capital expenses. In addition, the cOS platform will allow Vectra to offer wholesale services over DOCSIS and PON to broadband partners in Poland, opening up additional revenue streams across its nationwide network.

"Our partnership with Vectra underscores the industry's growing momentum toward flexible, future-ready broadband architectures that are empowering next-generation broadband service delivery," said Nimrod Ben-Natan, president and CEO at Harmonic. "By adopting our cOS platform and its unique capabilities, Vectra is paving the way for multigigabit broadband services that scale with demand and drive new revenue opportunities."

Netceed, Harmonic's value-added solutions provider, will play a key role in facilitating smooth deployment for this project, accelerating the supply chain for broadband services and enabling efficient scale-up of the cOS platform. "Our mission is to simplify and accelerate broadband expansion for our partners and ultimately their customers," said Arek Zawada, managing director at Netceed Poland. "By ensuring our partners have fast, reliable access to the right technology and support, we're helping them deliver high-speed connectivity to more communities more quickly. It's about empowering people and businesses with the digital infrastructure they need to thrive."

Harmonic is the market share leader in cable broadband equipment, virtual CMTS and DAA, according to Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks and data centre IT industries. The company's market-leading cOS platform powers next-gen broadband services through more than 33 million customer premises equipment (CPE) devices worldwide for leading operators in North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia.

Harmonic will demonstrate its cOS broadband platform at ANGA COM, June 3-5 in Cologne, Germany, in hall 8, stand C35.
