Harmonic has announced that Telia, the second largest telecom operator in Norway, is modernizing its broadband network with the company’s industry-leading cOS™ virtualized broadband platform. The Harmonic solution empowers Telia to deliver more reliable, higher speed connectivity, improve customer experience, reduce churn and support long-term revenue growth by accelerating its migration to DOCSIS 3.1.
“We seized the opportunity to transform our network to continue delivering what matters most to our customers: superior-quality, blazing-fast, reliable broadband connectivity,” said Georg Erling Svendsen, CTO at Telia Norway. “The strategic collaboration with Harmonic allows us to tap into the efficiencies of the cOS vCMTS software and bring outstanding broadband experiences to our customers across Norway.”
Telia is replacing its end-of-life broadband routers to embrace Harmonic’s virtualized cOS platform deployed in a DAA. The Harmonic platform offers seamless integration with existing third-party Remote-PHY nodes for critical interoperability. By migrating to the cOS platform, Telia will gain a resilient, software-based network infrastructure that enhances reliability, ensures high availability for broadband services and lowers costs by reducing space, power and hardware needs.
In addition, Harmonic‘s cOS Central services will provide Telia with automation, advanced analytics and real-time visibility across the network to ensure consistently reliable, high-quality service. Working in tandem with cOS Central, Harmonic’s Beacon ISM application will enhance spectrum efficiency and maximize bandwidth while reducing truck rolls. Combined, the Harmonic solutions will empower Telia to elevate the quality of experience for its customers, lowering subscriber churn.
Harmonic is also providing Telia with a full spectrum of professional deployment services, including installation, server configuration, technical support and on-site engineering training.
“Harmonic’s collaboration with Telia builds on our growing momentum with leading operators across Europe who are embracing the cOS platform to accelerate broadband transformation,” said Stefan Meier, vice president of broadband sales Europe at Harmonic. “With the cOS platform, Telia can deliver exceptional broadband experiences marked by faster speeds, reliable service and always-on connectivity and stay ahead in a fast-moving market space.”
Harmonic is the market share leader in cable broadband equipment, virtual CMTS and DAA, according to Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks and data center IT industries. The company’s market-leading cOS platform powers next-gen broadband services through nearly 38 million CPE devices worldwide for leading operators in North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia.
