Harmonic Lightwaves (now Harmonic Inc, NASDAQ: HLIT) is a pure-play broadband and video-delivery technology company headquartered in San Jose, California, founded in 1988 as Harmonic Lightwaves. It builds virtualized broadband access (the cOS platform, Distributed Access Architecture nodes, and fiber-to-the-x solutions) and cloud-native video streaming and processing (the VOS platform and VOS360 SaaS). Harmonic exposes a VOS REST API for media management, packaging, DRM, live event and linear-TV workflows, publishes first-party client-side ad-tracking SDKs for iOS, Android and Roku on GitHub, and maintains a technical documentation library. Its developer surface is largely operator- and customer-facing rather than a self-service public developer program.
