Mediacom Communications Leads Broadband Innovation

News Image
Harmonic has announced that Mediacom Communications, the fifth-largest cable operator in the U.S., has chosen Harmonic's industry-leading cOS™ virtualized broadband platform to modernize its network.

The cOS platform allows Mediacom to offer multigigabit and symmetrical speeds and an enhanced subscriber experience with DOCSIS 4.0 broadband services as well as gain the optionality to add fiber services. This strategic deployment supports Mediacom's shift to a distributed access architecture (DAA) with Harmonic’s Unified DOCSIS 4.0 solution, providing faster and lower-latency internet experiences for consumers.

"As we prepare our network to embrace the future of broadband, we needed a partner with deep DOCSIS 4.0 expertise and a proven track record," said JR Walden, CTO at Mediacom. "We chose Harmonic for their clear leadership in innovative technology, unparalleled scalability across diverse deployments and robust installed base. Partnering with Harmonic will enable us to deliver ultra-fast broadband connectivity and outstanding quality of experience leveraging DOCSIS 4.0 technology."

With this deployment, Harmonic continues to expand its broadband industry leadership. Mediacom joins a growing number of top-tier service providers leveraging Harmonic’s cOS platform — making Harmonic a technology partner of choice for eight of the 10 largest cable broadband operators in the U.S.

Mediacom is deploying Harmonic's cOS virtualized broadband platform and Ripple modular DAA nodes. By adopting this approach, Mediacom is among the first North American operators to launch DOCSIS 4.0 broadband services leveraging a Unified DOCSIS 4.0 architecture that supports both Full Duplex (FDX) and Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) technologies. The future-ready solution enables Mediacom to significantly enhance the performance and lifespan of its existing DOCSIS infrastructure while maintaining a clear path to fiber evolution. A key differentiator of Harmonic’s cOS platform is its innovative PTP-less virtualized core, which allows Mediacom to launch DAA services without a timing network — increasing reliability, simplifying deployments and accelerating the rollout of broadband services.

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 center 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.
