Millicom Selects Harmonic to Build High-Speed Broadband Infrastructure of the Future

Harmonic today announced that Millicom, a leading provider of cable and mobile services in Latin America, primarily operating under the TIGO brand, has selected Harmonic as its strategic partner to build a cloud-based wireline broadband architecture for the future. Complementing Millicom s leadership in cloud-based 5G, Harmonic will deploy its industry-leading CableOS virtualized access solution across nine countries in the LATAM region.

Harmonic s expertise in network virtualization guarantees that Millicom s broadband architecture is future-ready as it responds to the global trends of rapidly growing internet consumption and network traffic. By adopting a virtualized access approach, Millicom can quickly evolve and scale its network in response to accelerating customer demand, market transformations and new business opportunities.

"Latin America is undergoing a massive digital transformation, and we are proud to help lead the adoption of digital highways by delivering next-gen communication services to our communities, said Xavier Rocoplan, executive vice president, CTIO at Millicom. "Harmonic s pioneering work in virtualization and cloud-native architectures made them an obvious choice. Harmonic s CableOS solution lays the groundwork for us to quickly and economically respond to requirements for expanded broadband capacity."

Millicom will deploy Harmonic s CableOS solution in a hybrid centralized and distributed access architecture (DAA) through core software and a combination of Remote-PHY (R-PHY) nodes and shelves for unparalleled flexibility. Millicom will also deploy Harmonic s CableOS Central always-connected cloud management service to translate rich real-time network data into a higher-quality consumer experience.

"We applaud Millicom s ambitious goal of adding more than 1 million new homes passed every year, and we are thrilled to be a strategic partner on this initiative, said Gil Katz, senior vice president, Cable Access Business Operations at Harmonic. "Our CableOS solution will be instrumental in assuring Millicom s continued success as it transitions to the next generation of broadband networks, enabling efficient bandwidth scaling and a significantly reduced carbon footprint."
