Harmonic Inc. (NASDAQ:HLIT) is one of the best small cap tech stocks with biggest upside potential. Earlier on June 2, Harmonic announced that Vectra has chosen Harmonic’s cOS virtualized broadband platform. The collaboration aims to accelerate Vectra’s expansion of multigigabit broadband services, facilitate selective migration to deep fiber infrastructure, and support new wholesale fiber and DOCSIS offerings.

The deployment marks the world’s first implementation of Harmonic’s PTP-less capability for distributed access architecture/DAA for enhanced reliability, simplified operations, and reduced costs. Vectra will integrate Harmonic’s cOS platform with Reef Remote PHY (R-PHY) Shelves, Oyster DAA nodes, and various remote OLT devices.

Vectra will also utilize Harmonic’s newly launched SeaStar Optical Node to deliver fiber connectivity to lower-density brownfield multi-dwelling units (MDUs) by using existing in-building coax wiring. The adoption of a PTP-less Virtualized Core will streamline overall network operations. The cOS platform will also enable Vectra to selectively migrate from DOCSIS to PON and deliver high-speed fiber connectivity to targeted areas using existing infrastructure, thereby reducing capital expenses.

Harmonic Inc. (NASDAQ:HLIT) provides broadband access solutions worldwide and operates through its Broadband and Video segments. Vectra is a major internet provider in Poland.
