SAN JOSE, Calif., July 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT), the worldwide leader in video delivery solutions and cable access virtualization, today announced that it has been awarded Patent Number 10,020,962 by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the invention of the “Virtual Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) Core.” The patent describes virtualization of the traditionally hardware-based CCAP technology that is the heart of modern cable broadband networks.

Harmonic’s patented CableOS technology brings NFV to the cable access space, providing operators with the market’s first software-based CCAP and end-to-end remote PHY system that seamlessly supports centralized and distributed architectures.
