Intelligence starts in the field

Intelligence is only as good as the data underneath it. Recon products provide network monitoring insights to use within the cOS SensAI intelligence fabric to detect faults proactively and confirm a fix has worked.

Act before subscribers notice
 

Recon detects network degradation and service-impacting events as they emerge, pinpointing the location and severity of each fault, so your team can address issues before they affect service.

Send technicians out knowing what to fix

Equip every crew with a handheld analyzer that delivers fast, accurate readings in the field, and feeds every measurement straight into the operational systems you already run.

Scale monitoring cost effectively
 

Recon makes continuous monitoring practical at network scale, elevating overall network health. Real-time visibility into active and dark fiber supports cost-efficient inventory and asset tracking.

"Subscribers today expect nothing less than a flawless connectivity experience. With broadband networks expanding rapidly, operators often lack the real-time visibility to detect minor issues before they become large-scale outages. Our new Recon family gives broadband service providers the critical intelligence they need to detect problems early and confidently deliver exceptional connectivity that builds long-term subscriber loyalty."

Frequently asked questions

What is Recon?

A family of monitoring and measurement products for network operators. Handheld analyzers technicians carry into the field and a rack-mounted appliance that monitors fiber continuously, working with cloud-based cOS SensAI intelligence fabric.

What is the difference between Recon F and Recon FR?

Recon F is a handheld analyzer a technician carries into the field. Recon FR is a rack-mounted appliance that lives in the network and monitors fiber continuously.

Which parts of my network can Recon monitor?

Recon FR provides continuous and pervasive monitoring across access, metro and core network links, data center interconnect fiber links, and converged interconnect network (CIN), including DAA backhaul to RPDs and R-OLTs.

How does Recon work with cOS SensAI?

Recon readings land in cOS Central, where the cOS SensAI intelligence fabric draws on them to detect faults proactively and validate remediation, which shortens resolution times.

How is Recon different from a traditional OTDR?

A traditional tool gives a technician a one-time reading. Recon delivers every measurement into cOS Central, and Recon FR monitors continuously. What sets Recon apart from traditional OTDR products is the cloud-based AI/ML-powered software stack that enables real-time network visibility and fault analysis.

Can Recon monitor fiber that is carrying live traffic?

Yes, without taking links out of service.

Where can I see Recon?

Harmonic is showcasing Recon at SCTE TechExpo, Sept. 29 to Oct. 1, in booth A153.
