Harmonic, Commscope Combine On FTTH

Harmonic has worked with CommScope to assure compatibility of products to provide cable operators with an integrated high speed fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) solution. Harmonic's MAXLink forward path transmitters and return path receivers combined with CommScope's BrightPath system enable cable operators to implement a cost-effective RF over glass (RFOG) architecture for greenfield type deployments. Integrated with the existing headend infrastructure and CPE, the solution is designed to reduce traditional operating expenditures while increasing available bandwidth to the home. It also allows cable operators to offer a competitive solution to telco-based FTTH architectures with a true all-fiber cable solution. (Expo booths 1753 and 1050)
