SAN JOSE, Calif. - Feb. 22, 2021 - Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced that Nova Scotia-based telecommunications provider Seaside Communications is transforming its broadband operations with Harmonic's industry-leading CableOS Platform. By partnering with Harmonic, the leader in virtualized access technology and distributed access architectures (DAA), Seaside Communications is improving the quality of experience for customers, leveraging the latest advancements in DOCSIS 3.1, DAA and Remote-PHY (R-PHY).

As more people in Nova Scotia work from home and participate in distance learning, internet consumption is soaring and creating network congestion issues.

Harmonic's CableOS Platform allows us to swiftly and economically address capacity issues, leveraging a combination of new R-PHY nodes and existing HFC outdoor nodes. Thanks to Harmonic's expertise, our broadband architecture is future-ready now.

Seaside Communications has deployed the CableOS Platform in a hybrid centralized and distributed access architecture tailored for its network, with Ripple R-PHY nodes and Reef R-PHY shelves that offer unparalleled flexibility. As a software-based platform, CableOS enables Seaside Communications to improve capacity, utilizing modern technology for instant scalability, agility and cost savings.

As the chosen technology partner, we're excited to make it a reality, said Gil Katz, senior vice president, Cable Access Business Operations at Harmonic. Our CableOS Platform brings a greener broadband future to Seaside Communications by reducing space, power and operational costs as they unleash faster broadband speeds.
