Incognito Software Systems and Harmonic Collaborate to Deliver Innovative Fiber Deployment and Management Platform

Vancouver, Canada – August 20, 2024 – Incognito Software Systems, a leading global provider of broadband service orchestration, device management, and network intelligence solutions for service providers, announced a partnership with Harmonic, a leader in virtualized broadband solutions, to offer a holistic fiber solution that streamlines broadband service delivery and management. This collaboration provides multivendor fiber interoperability, enabling operators to maximize fiber investments and enhance the subscriber quality of experience (QoE).

With interoperability between Harmonic's cOS™ virtualized broadband platform and Incognito's Service Activation Center (SAC), service providers can take advantage of a joint solution that enhances fiber deployment flexibility and cost-effectiveness while also simplifying the process of rolling out and managing high-speed broadband services. By leveraging Incognito SAC, a cloud-ready platform that automates intent-based provisioning and activation, and Harmonic's cOS™ platform, this offering empowers service providers to deliver best-in-class fiber services.

• Eliminate Vendor Lock-In: take advantage of fiber interoperability to utilize third-party ONT/ONUs, enhancing procurement and deployment flexibility, while reducing costs.
• End-to-end Service Management: unified automation and monitoring of the fiber access network and connected home devices to deliver superior QoE.
• Network Automation: Incognito's solution leverages network automation to reduce operational expenses and IT costs.
• Expedite Time to Market: utilize open standards and APIs to accelerate time to value, ensuring faster service rollouts and enhanced efficiency.
• Seamless DOCSIS to PON Evolution: unified support for PON and DOCSIS, including DOCSIS provisioning for 10G-EPON and XGS-PON.

The integrated solution is already deployed by a tier 1 service provider in the Latin American market, showcasing its robust capabilities and effectiveness in a real-world setting. Incognito and Harmonic will have a live demonstration of the ecosystem at upcoming industry events, including Telco Transformation LATAM and SCTE TechExpo 2024, where attendees will have the opportunity to witness fiber interoperability in action.

"As the fiber broadband landscape evolves, it is crucial for service providers to have flexible, interoperable solutions that meet growing consumer demand," said Gary Knee, CEO at Incognito. "According to the Fiber Broadband Association, over half of primary homes in the U.S. now have access to fiber connectivity. Our collaboration with Harmonic empowers service providers to capitalize on this growth, offering robust service activation and management solutions that improve time to market."

"Our work with Incognito enables operators to accelerate deployments of high-speed internet services to reach new regions and subscribers," said Dan Gledhill, Senior Vice President of Fiber Broadband at Harmonic. "At the same time, we are helping those operators prevent subscriber churn within their existing footprint with innovations like fiber on demand and BoostD 3.1 to deliver an enhanced experience to the consumer, all under the unified provisioning system from Incognito."
