neu-medianet fast-tracks fibre broadband rollout with Harmonic

September 23, 2025

Harmonic has announced that German broadband operator neu-medianet is making the leap to XGS-PON fibre broadband services with Harmonic’s cOS virtualised broadband platform. The cOS platform enables neu-medianet to overbuild its existing network and augment its DOCSIS footprint with XGS-PON for delivering symmetric multi-gigabit broadband services. Leveraging Harmonic’s solutions, neu-medianet is building a future-ready broadband infrastructure to deliver a range of high-speed broadband services and grow its subscriber base.

“Expanding our fibre broadband network is central to our long-term strategy of evolving and growing our business,” said Steffen Raatz, operations engineer at neu-medianet. “Deploying Harmonic’s cOS platform gives us the flexibility and scalability we need to deliver exceptional-quality fibre and DOCSIS broadband services to our customers.”

neu-medianet is deploying Harmonic’s cOS platform with high-density, energy-efficient Pier optical line terminal (OLT) shelves that minimise infrastructure requirements and simplify the rollout of fibre services. Furthermore, Harmonic’s Open ONT approach empowers neu-medianet to eliminate vendor lock-in and select customer premises equipment (CPE) devices that best fit its needs — accelerating service velocity and reducing total cost of ownership.

“neu-medianet is taking a pivotal step forward by embracing future-ready technologies that position them as a forward-thinking fibre broadband provider in Germany,” added Stefan Meier, vice president of broadband sales Europe at Harmonic. “We’re proud to support their vision with a virtualised broadband platform that reduces deployment complexity to meet growing subscriber demands.”

Harmonic’s local partner Normann Engineering is supplying the components and providing system integration support, ensuring smooth deployment.
