Harmonic announced that Telia, Norway’s second largest telecom operator, is modernizing its broadband network using Harmonic’s cOS virtualized broadband platform.
The solution enables Telia to provide higher-speed, more reliable broadband, improve customer experience, reduce churn, and support long-term revenue growth by accelerating its DOCSIS 3.1 migration.
Network Transformation and Virtualization
Telia is replacing end-of-life broadband routers with Harmonic’s virtualized cOS platform deployed in a Distributed Access Architecture (DAA). The platform integrates with existing third-party Remote-PHY nodes, providing interoperability and a resilient, software-based network infrastructure. This enhances reliability, ensures high availability, and reduces costs through lower space, power, and hardware requirements.
Automation, Analytics, and Spectrum Efficiency
Harmonic’s cOS Central services provide automation, advanced analytics, and real-time network visibility to maintain consistent broadband quality. The Beacon ISM application maximizes spectrum efficiency and bandwidth while reducing operational interventions. Together, these solutions aim to improve customer experience and reduce subscriber churn.
Professional Deployment Services
Harmonic is also supplying Telia with full deployment services, including installation, server configuration, technical support, and on-site engineering training.
Statements from Telia and Harmonic
“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.”
“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.”
Market Leadership
Harmonic is a market leader in cable broadband equipment, virtual CMTS, and DAA according to Dell’Oro Group. The cOS platform powers next-generation broadband services through nearly 38 million CPE devices worldwide across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
