Harmonic launches 'Pearl' remote OLT

Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced the launch of its new Pearl Remote Optical Line Termination (R-OLT) module for fiber broadband service delivery from Harmonic's versatile Ripple and Oyster node enclosures. Pearl R-OLT is Harmonic's latest innovation and joins the company's broad ecosystem of fiber and DOCSIS edge devices powered by the cOS virtualized core.

Harmonic's new high-density R-OLT helps operators simplify their fiber upgrades, enabling them to accelerate time to market of high-speed fiber broadband. The Pearl R-OLT leverages multiple fiber technologies simultaneously, including GPON, ComboPON and XGS-PON.

With Pearl inside Harmonic's outdoor node enclosures, operators can easily address a variety of network topologies, either by placing in underground vaults, compact pedestals or in aerial configurations. Pearl empowers operators to adapt and accommodate installation requirements, ease permitting and minimize property or new construction costs.

The compact Pearl R-OLT module offers a simplified solution to enhance subscriber quality of experience and increase subscriber retention by enabling targeted deployment of fiber over-builds in greenfield and existing service areas. Integrating long-range OLT optics, the Pearl R-OLT also creates additional potential revenue opportunities, facilitating cost-effective edge out strategies to reach new communities and underserved areas with greater agility.

With up to 8 XGS-PON per Pearl R-OLT, the compact, power-efficient module offers industry-leading performance to bring 10G fiber services to any location, in any density, providing flexibility today and capacity for the future.

Harmonic will showcase its powerful cOS broadband platform and the new Pearl R-OLT device at the 2024 ANGA COM Conference in Cologne, May 14-16, at hall 8, stand C35.
