Vantiva, a global technology pioneer enabling Network Service Providers (NSPs) to connect consumers worldwide, announced that it has expanded its strategic relationship with Harmonic to include interoperability of Vantiva’s Passive Optical Networking (PON) Consumer Premises Equipment (CPE) and Harmonic’s comprehensive cOS portfolio of Optical Line Terminal (OLT) network edge devices.
The combined offering delivers NSPs an easy path to transition from DOCSIS-based technologies to multi-gigabit fibre speeds as well as additional options for enhancing existing fibre services.
Harmonic’s cOS platform
The partnership will provide subscribers with best-in-class, in-home touches ventures
By leveraging Vantiva’s proven PON CPE and Harmonic’s innovative cOS OLT platform, the partnership will provide subscribers with best-in-class, in-home communications experiences and high-speed connectivity.
“With Harmonic’s innovative cOS platform, we are strategically expanding our traditional joint DOCSIS support into the rapidly growing PON fibre market,” said Leopold Diouf, Senior Vice President of the Product Unit at Vantiva.
New interoperability capabilities
Diouf added: “With the new interoperability capabilities between Vantiva’s PON CPE and Harmonic’s extensive line of cOS OLTs, we are providing our NSP customers with more options to upgrade their networks by capitalising on the numerous benefits of fibre, including high-speed connectivity, unparalleled in-home communications experiences and superior service reliability.”
Vantiva’s market-pioneering CPE, which consists of optical networking units (ONUs) and integrated gateways, has been deployed by many of the world’s largest NSPs offering them the ability to deliver an unparalleled broadband experience – lightning-fast speeds, seamless connections and whole-home wireless coverage.

“We will provide our shared customer base with the ability to easily transition to PON from two trusted technology vendors, which we believe is a major step forward in our relationship and for the industry.”
