IMPROVE COSTS & ENHANCE NETWORK PERFORMANCE

Access Communications lowered the cost of its CMTS upgrades and reduced RF equipment in the headend by deploying Harmonic’s CableOS cloud-native core platform and Ripple remote PHY DAA nodes. The virtualized solution deployed in a DAA, helps decrease facilities costs and enhances network performance so Access Communications can deliver reliable, affordable, and faster broadband services to the hundreds of communities they serve.

SIMPLIFY OPERATIONS

With Harmonic’s Ripple R-PHY DAA node, Access Communications has the flexibility to upgrade its plant to mid-split and simply change diplexers in the field to maximize previous investments as it grows its upstream capacity. Access Communications also benefits from a simplified DOCSIS network, which enable it to condense three teams into a single team to handle video services, DOCSIS, network operations and delivery up to the node.
