Harmonic has announced that telecommunications service provider Claro Perú, of the América Móvil group, is extending Harmonic’s CableOS Broadband Platform for fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) to sustainably deliver next-gen broadband and 10Gbps speeds. Harmonic’s CableOS platform boosts next-gen broadband services for over 90 service providers worldwide, including operators in the US, Europe, Latin America and Asia.
“We’re excited to introduce a new FTTH offering that fuels faster, more reliable broadband experiences for customers while significantly reducing our space, power and cooling costs as we expand our service areas,” says Nelson Moscoso, deputy director of fixed services network at Claro Perú. “We have successfully trialed the FTTH offering utilising Harmonic’s CableOS platform in our Lima Hub, and we’re ready to go live by early next year.”
Claro Perú previously deployed Harmonic’s CableOS platform in a distributed access architecture (DAA) with virtualised CMTS (cable modem termination system) software, Reef Remote PHY (R-PHY) shelves and Ripple R-PHY nodes. By simply adding the CableOS Fin 10Gbps SFP+ OLT to Ripple, Claro Peru can offer both 10Gbps fibre and DOCSIS (data over cable service interface specification) from the same node to deploy fibre service into new markets and selected competitive areas.
“A growing number of forward-thinking broadband operators are choosing Harmonic’s CableOS platform for fibre-to-the-home services,” says Nimrod Ben-Natan, senior vice president and general manager, broadband business at Harmonic. “Our unique solution will allow Claro Peru to significantly enhance the broadband experience for subscribers while accelerating time to market for 10Gbps and minimising the capital investment needed to provide fibre services.”
