"At least part of Midwest-focused Midco's $500 million Fiber Forward Investment will bring multigigabit connectivity to subscribers on the Midco network via Harmonic's AI-enabled cOS virtualized broadband platform. "Harmonic's virtualized broadband platform supports DOCSIS and fiber from the same solution, while offering outstanding uptime and proven performance - making them the clear choice," Midco Senior Vice President of Technology Bill Chatwell said in a press release about the network upgrade. "Our partnership with Harmonic aligns seamlessly with our vision and roadmap for growth, empowering us to expand broadband services and deliver high-speed connectivity to our customers." The platform will be configured in a distributed access architecture (DAA) with Pebble Remote PHY Devices and Ripple modular DAA nodes."
"The platform will provide Midco with a common platform for DOCSIS and fiber services and minimize hardware and power requirements. This, the press release says, will significantly reduce expenses. The platform offers advanced telemetry that will automate workflows and real-time network visibility for proactive resolution of network issues. A Midco spokesperson told Telecompetitor the upgrade positions the company to move to DOCSIS 4.0 "when we determine that's the next evolution to our network.""
Midco is investing $500 million in Fiber Forward to bring multigigabit connectivity using Harmonic's AI-enabled cOS virtualized broadband platform. The platform supports DOCSIS and fiber on a common solution and will be deployed in a distributed access architecture with Pebble Remote PHY Devices and Ripple modular DAA nodes to enable multiple fiber delivery options. The solution reduces hardware and power requirements, lowers expenses, and provides advanced telemetry for automated workflows and real-time network visibility for proactive issue resolution. The upgrade enables OFDM downstream carriers at DOCSIS 3.1 Extended and positions the network for a future DOCSIS 4.0 transition and targeted FTTP builds.
