Hilliary Communications in Oklahoma has deployed Harmonic's CableOS virtualised cable access solution to upgrade to DOCSIS 3.1 and create a new 1 Gigabit service tier, to better support delivery of cutting-edge internet and streaming video services.



"To cost-effectively grow our service offering and fully exploit the power of broadband, we needed the ability to support DOCSIS 3.1, as well as legacy DOCSIS 2.0," said Mike Rowell, director of operations at Hilliary Communications . "Harmonic's CableOS solution features incredible scalability, allowing us to increase broadband capacity and launch new features easily, with the flexibility to deploy R-PHY in the future."

Harmonic's CableOS solution centralises the CMTS software core on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers at Hilliary Communications' main headend site, while locating simpler PHY shelves in remote hub facilities.

"Our CableOS solution has created a ground-breaking new approach to cable access, dramatically improving scalability, agility and operational savings for any operator looking to move to DOCSIS 3.1 or introduce new Gigabit services," said Nimrod Ben-Natan, SVP and GM for the cable access business at Harmonic . "Looking ahead, CableOS also simplifies the migration to a fibre-deep network, which can further unlock new areas of business growth for Hilliary Communications."
