ACI Communications today announced the integration of its advanced broadband amplifier portfolio with Harmonic’s market-leading cOS™ Virtualized Broadband Platform, enabling operators to streamline network management, minimize operational complexity, and accelerate the transition to DOCSIS 4.0.
Through this collaboration, ACI and Harmonic will deliver a unified solution that extends cloud intelligence to the network edge. By combining ACI’s high-performance amplifiers with Harmonic’s Amply software on its cloud-native cOS platform, operators gain real-time visibility, control, and automation across their access networks—unlocking new levels of efficiency, reliability, and scalability.
ACI’s next-generation Infinity™ amplifier portfolio is engineered to support 1.8 GHz networks, providing a cost-effective path to multi-gigabit service delivery without requiring full infrastructure overbuilds. Key capabilities include intelligent monitoring of upstream and downstream performance, proactive detection of RF impairments, and autonomous operation during network disruptions. These features enable operators to reduce service calls, improve network uptime, and optimize overall system performance.
The integrated solution leverages Harmonic’s Amply software on its cOS platform to aggregate and analyze amplifier data in the cloud, providing actionable insights and centralized control. This allows operators to quickly identify issues such as ingress, noise, and signal degradation,…
