Harmonic announced that izzi, the largest MSO in Mexico and a subsidiary of the Televisa Group, has selected Harmonic’s industry-leading cOS™ virtualized broadband platform as one of the solutions for its strategic fiber broadband expansion. 


As part of its broader technology ecosystem, Harmonic’s broadband solutions will accelerate a transformative leap for izzi to deliver reliable fiber connectivity for residential and commercial customers across Mexico, setting a new benchmark for broadband experiences in the region.


izzi is deploying Remote OLT technologies, including Harmonic’s cOS virtualized broadband platform with Pearl Remote Optical Line Termination (R-OLT) modules within Oyster outdoor compact node enclosures for industry-leading power consumption and PON port density. The solution streamlines the operator’s migration to fiber while minimizing hardware requirements and delivering significant power, space and cost savings.


Harmonic integrated izzi’s preferred third-party ONTs in alignment with its Open ONT strategy, lowering total cost of ownership by eliminating vendor lock-in and empowering izzi with the flexibility to select the CPE devices that best address its requirements. By enabling izzi to elevate operational efficiency, leverage existing infrastructure and lower CPE costs, Harmonic is reducing the network investments typically associated with fiber rollouts.
