The Harmonic PON solution is a cutting-edge system designed to enhance fiber optic network performance through scalable, efficient provisioning and a flexible architecture. Built on Harmonic’s cloud-native CableOS platform, it allows seamless integration between DOCSIS and FTTH networks, supporting operators in evolving to high-performance fiber infrastructure with minimal disruption. This approach enables streamlined management and advanced network evolution options tailored for cost savings and operational efficiency.
Harmonic’s PON solution includes an integrated OLT and ONU system that supports both 10G EPON and XGS-PON standards, making it compatible with a wide range of PON configurations. It employs a versatile open ONU approach, allowing easy integration with various ONU types, including SFU and SFP devices, and adapts to centralized and remote deployment architectures.
Uniform provisioning simplifies network setup and operation, seamlessly managing both DOCSIS and PON configurations through common protocols like DHCP and SNMP, and supports interoperability with third-party ONUs via OMCI and OAM protocols. Harmonic’s solution also provides high-split configurations for symmetrical gigabit speeds, supporting faster upload and download capabilities.
