Harmonic has announced a new partnership with Evolution Digital, a specialist in advanced connectivity solutions, further expanding its roster of interoperable ONU partners and reinforcing the company’s commitment to creating an open, flexible fibre broadband ecosystem. This powerful collaboration strengthens Harmonic’s mission to empower broadband operators through its Open ONU approach that eliminates vendor lock-in and reduces fibre deployment costs.

Harmonic’s cOS virtualised broadband platform offers seamless interoperability with Evolution Digital’s EVO1111XG XGS-PON bridge and EVO6022GP3 integrated Wi-Fi 6 GPON gateway. Integration efforts between the two companies will support additional GPON and XGS-PON devices in the near future.

“We’re excited that our ongoing collaboration has led to our inclusion in Harmonic’s Open ONU initiative, which reflects a scalable and forward-thinking strategy to support the unique business needs of the global broadband provider community,” said Marc Cohen, chief revenue officer at Evolution Digital. “Our interoperability with Harmonic’s virtualised broadband platform — including support for GPON and 10G-capable fibre-to-the-home devices — enables partners to accelerate deployments and deliver high-quality fibre services more efficiently.”

Harmonic’s cOS virtualized core software allows operators to support ONU devices from any vendor, now including Evolution Digital. This expanded interoperability empowers broadband providers to choose a CPE that best fits their performance, cost and deployment requirements. As a result, operators can accelerate fibre service rollouts, lower capital expenditures and deliver high-speed connectivity to more subscribers

“The momentum around ONU interoperability is transforming how operators build and scale their fibre networks,” said Hy Huynh, vice president of fibre products at Harmonic. “With the addition of Evolution Digital to our growing list of certified ONU partners, we’re giving operators more choice and flexibility to deliver high-speed connectivity with unmatched cost efficiency.”
