How Harmonic is advancing the fiber broadband opportunity
Harmonic is well known in the cable industry as a key supplier of DOCSIS equipment. However, as the cable and telecom industry continues to expand its fiber reach, Harmonic has been taking a more active role in developing fiber-based broadband products.
With many of its cable operator customers being in a transition phase, Harmonic is offering products that enable a DOCSIS-to-PON migration. One example of this move is the SeaStar Optical Node, which allows broadband connectivity for lower-density multi-dwelling units (MDUs). The node converts existing in-building coax cabling into a high-speed broadband conduit.
We recently caught up with Hy Huynh, vice president of fiber products at Harmonic, to talk about the evolving fiber broadband landscape.
