Bluepeak and Harmonic Join Forces to Future-Proof Broadband Connectivity

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Sept. 19, 2024 - Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced that U.S. service provider Bluepeak Fiber is taking a major step toward future-proofing its broadband network with Harmonic's industry-leading cOS virtualized broadband platform. Using Harmonic's virtualized core software and versatile edge devices, Bluepeak has the flexibility to support DOCSIS 4.0, 10G and fiber, solidifying its commitment to delivering high-speed, reliable internet to customers.

Having a broadband platform that is software upgradable to DOCSIS 4.0 and fiber-ready is a crucial step for us. By investing in a flexible solution, we are evolving with industry advancements and eliminating the need for major infrastructure changes, said Cash Hagen, chief operating officer at Bluepeak Fiber. Harmonic's cOS virtualized core will enable our customers to enjoy unrivaled speeds and reliable connectivity while reducing our operational expenses.

Bluepeak will deploy Harmonic's cOS virtualized software in a distributed access architecture (DAA) with Harmonic's Pebble Remote PHY Device and Ripple modular DAA node. The solution will streamline Bluepeak's operations by consolidating multiple hubs into one or two hubs per region, boosting operational efficiency and resolving space and power constraints.

Harmonic's solution will allow Bluepeak to unlock the full potential of BoostD 3.1, a specialized capability on the cOS platform that delivers fiber-like speeds at over 8 Gbps downstream. In addition, Harmonic's cOS Central service will boost Bluepeak's network visibility, providing real-time, high-volume data insights to proactively address service issues and ensure a superior subscriber experience.

Bluepeak is committed to building modern infrastructure for fast, reliable internet, and were excited to support their efforts in connecting communities throughout the Great Plains and Midwest, said Jeffrey Glahn, senior vice president, global sales, broadband at Harmonic. Our virtualized core software and versatile edge devices will boost broadband speeds and maximize the value of Bluepeaks existing DOCSIS 3.1 network.
