ACI Communications integrates its advanced broadband amplifier portfolio with Harmonic's cOS™ Virtualized Broadband Platform to accelerate DOCSIS 4.0.
KENT, Wash., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- 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, and take corrective action before customers are impacted. By bridging the gap between the network core and the edge, ACI and Harmonic empower operators to transition toward more automated, software-driven broadband architectures.
"Operators are under increasing pressure to deliver greater capacity, intelligence, and reliability from their existing networks," said Robert Li, Chief Strategy Officer at ACI Communications. "Our collaboration with Harmonic brings together ACI's advanced amplifier technology and open, cloud‑native intelligence—giving operators a clear, scalable path to DOCSIS 4.0 without proprietary constraints."
"We're excited to welcome ACI Communications to the growing open cOS Amply ecosystem that benefits broadband service providers. The power of cOS Amply software lies in the flexibility it delivers to operators. It enables an open, multi-vendor amplifier ecosystem that allows broadband service providers to make deployment decisions based on what's best for their networks. By decoupling intelligence from hardware, we're putting broadband service providers back in control of their network modernization strategy." said Andrii Vladyka, Vice President of Technologies and Growth at Harmonic.
