Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) builds virtualized broadband access software and hardware for cable and fiber network operators. Custom enterprise pricing.
Harmonic is a broadband infrastructure company that builds the software and hardware cable and fiber network operators use to deliver internet service to homes and businesses. Rather than a consumer-facing SaaS product, Harmonic sells enterprise network infrastructure to internet service providers.
The company was founded in 1988 as Harmonic Lightwaves, originally focused on fiber-optic transmission equipment for cable television, and is headquartered in San Jose, California. It trades publicly on Nasdaq under the ticker HLIT. In June 2026, Harmonic completed the sale of its video business to MediaKind, repositioning itself as a pure-play broadband technology company.
Harmonic's cOS Platform is a virtualized broadband access solution, commonly called vCMTS, that lets cable operators run cable modem termination functions in software rather than dedicated hardware, supporting DOCSIS 4.0 for multi-gigabit internet speeds over existing coaxial infrastructure.
The company also builds Distributed Access Architecture hardware, including nodes like Oyster, Pebble, and Ripple, plus fiber access equipment for OLT/ONT deployments, and offers cOS Central Management and a Beacon speed-optimization tool for real-time network monitoring.
Harmonic does not publish list pricing for its network infrastructure products. As enterprise hardware and software sold to cable and telecom operators, pricing depends heavily on network size, equipment mix, and deployment scope.
Prospective customers, which are internet service providers rather than individual consumers or small businesses, work directly with Harmonic's sales and solutions engineering teams to scope and price a deployment.
