Telecentro chooses Harmonic

July 30, 2024

Harmonic has announced that Telecentro, the Argentinian telco, has selected Harmonic’s cOS broadband platform to modernise its broadband network. Harmonic’s cOS virtualised core software and edge devices will maximise Telecentro’s investment in DOCSIS 3.1 networks, enabling high-speed internet services for its residential and corporate subscribers.

“Harmonic’s exceptional track record made them an ideal partner,” said Juan Luna, Chief Technology and Information Officer at Telecentro. “With the cOS platform, we will be able to swiftly increase the capacity of our internet services, enhance service reliability, and reduce operational expenses, including power, space and cooling costs. Additionally, it will provide better observability of the network’s status.”

Telecentro will deploy Harmonic’s cOS virtualised software in a distributed access architecture (DAA). Harmonic’s Pebble Remote PHY Device will be deployed with its Ripple modular DAA node, as well as with the Raft adapter that instantly enables DAA capabilities in Telecentro’s existing nodes. The Harmonic solution increases broadband speeds and maximises the value of Telecentro’s existing DOCSIS 3.1 network. Additionally, Harmonic’s cOS Central service will feed Telecentro with real-time and high-volume data to improve network visibility and foster proactive issue resolution.

“Telecentro is a major force of broadband innovation in LATAM, and we are thrilled to support their growth as they further expand their business,” added Jeffrey Glahn, Senior Vice President, Global Sales, Broadband at Harmonic. “Harmonic’s cOS platform and modular edge devices will drive new capabilities for Telecentro, future-proof their investments and simplify the deployment of future high-speed broadband offerings to subscribers.”
