SAN JOSE, Calif., May 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced that Malta-based telco operator Melita has selected Harmonic's market-leading CableOS^® Broadband Platform to deliver multi-gigabit broadband services. Harmonic's CableOS Platform virtualizes the access network, providing Melita with a sustainable broadband architecture that will enable continuous improvements to upstream and downstream bandwidth capacity.

"Harmonic's CableOS Platform will complement our existing network, giving us a flexible, scalable foundation to provide the fastest, most reliable broadband services in Malta. We will have the agility to more efficiently meet bandwidth requirements and improve service quality for our subscribers," said Simon Montanaro, chief technical officer at Melita.
