ACI Integrates Infinity Amplifiers With Harmonic’s cOS To Speed DOCSIS 4.0

ACI Communications is integrating its Infinity amplifiers with Harmonic’s cloud-native cOS Virtualized Broadband Platform and Amply software to give operators real-time visibility, control and automation across access networks as they move toward DOCSIS 4.0.

The collaboration links ACI’s next-gen Infinity portfolio — engineered for 1.8 GHz networks — with Harmonic’s Amply software to extend cloud intelligence to the edge. Capabilities include intelligent monitoring of upstream and downstream performance, proactive RF impairment detection and autonomous operation during disruptions, aimed at reducing service calls, improving uptime and boosting overall performance.

The integrated setup uses Amply on cOS to aggregate and analyze amplifier data in the cloud, providing centralized control and actionable insights so operators can identify ingress, noise and signal degradation before customers are affected. The approach decouples intelligence from hardware to support a more open, multi-vendor amplifier ecosystem.

“Operators are under increasing pressure to deliver greater capacity, intelligence and reliability from their existing networks,” Robert Li, ACI Communications chief strategy officer, said. “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,” said Andrii Vladyka, Harmonic vice president of technologies and growth. “By decoupling intelligence from hardware, we’re putting broadband service providers back in control of their network modernization strategy.”
