Harmonic Unveils Innovative Solutions for Next-Gen Broadband at SCTE TechExpo25

Harmonic Showcases Game-Changing Broadband Innovations at SCTE TechExpo25

Harmonic, a leader in broadband and video delivery, is all set to present its groundbreaking solutions at SCTE TechExpo25. Scheduled from September 29 to October 1, 2025, this event marks a pivotal moment for the company as it unveils strategies and technologies that empower operators to enhance connectivity and subscriber experiences.

At the core of Harmonic's offering is the cOS™ virtualized broadband platform, which combines advanced technologies including Unified DOCSIS 4.0. This platform enables ultra-high-capacity throughput, allowing service providers to meet the surging demand for reliable, high-speed connectivity while navigating the pressures of tight budgets and increasing competition.

According to Asaf Matatyaou, Vice President of Broadband Business at Harmonic, "Today’s broadband operators face a unique challenge of balancing demand for high-speed internet with operational efficiency. At SCTE TechExpo25, we aim to showcase real-world solutions and innovative strategies that prepare operators for the future of broadband networks."

Key Innovations to Be Showcased

1. Unified DOCSIS 4.0: With this feature, operators can deliver braking-fast speeds and high-quality service. The cOS platform incorporates both Full Duplex (FDX) and Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) technologies, offering unparalleled delivery capabilities for ultra-high-capacity networks. Coupled with the Ripple and Oyster DAA nodes, the platform promises significant deployment flexibility and cost savings.

2. Fiber Service Delivery Advancements: Harmonic is also presenting its Pearl R-OLT device, Jetty remote switch, and Pier OLT shelf, each designed to provide a cost-effective transition from GPON to XGS-PON, which can reach up to 100G PON. These advancements aim to reduce vendor lock-in by allowing operators to choose the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) that best suits their needs, thereby lowering deployment costs significantly.

3. AI-Powered Network Insights: Harmonic will introduce its new AI Assistant in cOS Central, which leverages data to create self-healing networks. This innovative tool enhances network reliability and subscriber satisfaction while keeping operational costs in check, offering insights through a rich telemetry data set.

4. Low-Latency Experiences: With L4S capabilities built into the cOS platform, operators can provide ultra-low-lag experiences, critical for applications like online gaming and video conferencing. This makes the service more appealing and reliable for subscribers in congested environments.

5. Innovative Solutions for MDUs: The SeaStar™ optical node represents a significant leap forward in delivering fiber-grade connectivity to lower-density Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs). This platform enables quick, cost-effective deployments of multi-gigabit connectivity without extensive infrastructure changes, easing capital expenses while opening new revenue streams for operators.
