The premier cOSTM virtualized broadband platform from Harmonic, announced by the company, is helping Bluepeak Fiber, a U.S. service provider, future-proof its broadband network. Bluepeak has demonstrated its dedication to providing clients with dependable, fast internet by demonstrating its ability to support DOCSIS 4.0, 10G, and fiber through the use of Harmonic’s virtualized core software and adaptable edge devices.
“A critical step for us is to have a broadband platform that is fiber-ready and software upgradeable to DOCSIS 4.0. According to Cash Hagen, Bluepeak Fiber’s chief operating officer, “by investing in a flexible solution, we are evolving with industry advancements and eliminating the need for major infrastructure changes.” “Our customers will benefit from unparalleled speeds and dependable connectivity thanks to Harmonic’s cOS virtualized core, which will also lower our operating costs.”
Bluepeak will deploy Harmonic’s cOS virtualized software and DAA solutions, including the Pebble Remote PHY Device and Ripple DAA node, to streamline operations by consolidating hubs and improving efficiency. This deployment will enable Bluepeak to leverage BoostD 3.1 for fiber-like speeds exceeding 8 Gbps downstream. Additionally, Harmonic’s cOS Central service will enhance network visibility with real-time data insights, ensuring a superior subscriber experience.
According to Jeffrey Glahn, senior vice president of worldwide sales for broadband at Harmonic, “Bluepeak is committed to building modern infrastructure for fast, reliable internet, and we’re excited to support their efforts in connecting communities throughout the Great Plains and Midwest.” “We will optimize the value of Bluepeak’s current DOCSIS 3.1 network and increase broadband speeds with our virtualized core software and adaptable edge devices.”
