Melita will continue to upgrade its HFC DOCSIS network to a distributed access architecture with Harmonic’s CableOS Platform, virtualized CMTS software and Ripple Remote-PHY node. Driving core functions and fiber deeper into the network will ensure faster, more reliable internet access for subscribers, lower energy consumption and significantly reduce the operator’s space and power costs. Melita will also use Harmonic’s CableOS Central analytics with AI and streaming telemetry to ensure its broadband service quality and network performance.
“We’re excited to add Melita to a growing list of global operators that have embraced the CableOS Platform to enable multi-gigabit services,” said Nimrod Ben-Natan, senior vice president and general manager, broadband business at Harmonic. “Using the CableOS Platform and virtual CMTS deployed with Harmonic’s Ripple R-PHY node for DAA, Melita will gain network agility and improve sustainability as it moves ahead on the path to 10G.”
