Harmonic Transforms Broadband Connectivity Experience Through Collaboration with CUJO AI

Advanced Integration Enables Exceptional Broadband Experiences for
Latency-Sensitive Interactive Applications

SAN JOSE, Calif. — June 3, 2025 — Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced a collaboration to integrate CUJO AI® network intelligence software with Harmonic's market-leading cOS™ virtualized broadband platform. This advanced integration transforms broadband connectivity experiences for latency-sensitive interactive applications such as online gaming and video conferencing, empowering operators to deliver an exceptional, real-time quality of experience to subscribers. Harmonic and CUJO AI will showcase the new solution through a live, ultra-low-lag video conferencing demonstration at ANGA COM 2025.

"This integration brings to life a shared vision of adaptive, real-time connectivity that meets the evolving demands of modern households. Together with Harmonic, we're making ultra-low-latency broadband a reality — not just for the few, but at scale," said Remko Vos, CEO at CUJO AI.

The powerful solution combines robust, field-proven Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable throughput (L4S) capabilities enabled by Harmonic's cOS platform with CUJO AI's network intelligence software running on BoostD 3.1 modems. The solution enables real-time detection and end-to-end prioritization of latency-sensitive applications. The Harmonic cOS platform enabled with CUJO AI software provides a seamless, low-latency broadband experience for subscribers while empowering operators to reduce churn, boost retention, improve ARPU and economically attract new subscribers through a uniquely differentiated offering.

Harmonic's cOS core software enables operators to activate the new L4S capabilities across existing DOCSIS and fiber networks via a simple software upgrade, eliminating the need for major infrastructure investments. Moreover, the integration between Harmonic's cOS platform and CUJO AI harnesses the benefits of L4S-ready networks for latency-sensitive applications that may not be L4S compatible.

"Our integration of CUJO AI on the cOS platform is a firm step forward on the path to adaptive, self-optimizing broadband networks that elevate the subscriber experience beyond reliability and speed," said Asaf Matatyaou, senior vice president, product, Broadband Business at Harmonic. "By harnessing the power of L4S technology and CUJO AI's network intelligence software, we are simplifying network performance enhancement for operators so they can cost-effectively elevate the subscriber experience — with a simple software upgrade."

Harmonic will demonstrate the integration of CUJO AI network intelligence software on the cOS platform at ANGA COM, June 3-5 in Cologne, Germany in hall 8, stand C35. To see the demo and schedule a meeting with Harmonic, visit www.harmonicinc.com/broadband/events/anga.

New Integration Brings Cutting-Edge MXT Multimodal and GenAI Indexing Technology to Bitcentral’s Oasis Media Asset Management Software

PARIS & NEW YORK — Dec. 16, 2024 — Leading AI and video search company Moments Lab is pleased to announce its integration with Bitcentral. The integration enables Bitcentral Oasis MAM users to enrich their media assets with powerful, AI-generated metadata while retaining their on-prem or fusion hybrid storage architecture.

Moments Lab’s public API can be used to easily integrate its MXT-1.5 multimodal AI with Oasis. MXT-1.5 combines what it sees and hears in videos to generate rich metadata, including human-like descriptions of what’s happening in every shot and sequence.

Bitcentral’s collaborative Oasis MAM software is a popular media workflow solution for news production, with field-centric tools that seamlessly connect remote teams with TV studios to push stories quicker.

Frederic Petitpont, Moments Lab co-founder and CTO, said, “Integrating our multimodal AI indexing technology with Bitcentral’s Oasis MAM puts enhanced content search and discovery at news teams’ fingertips. It means they’ll be able to instantly find the media assets they need to build and publish stories faster than ever.”

Sam Peterson, COO at Bitcentral, said, “We’re excited to offer Moments Lab’s cutting-edge AI indexing technology to our Oasis MAM customers and provide further efficiency to news production workflows.”

Moments Lab’s API works by analyzing media files (proxy or original) from on-prem or cloud storage. Media assets are processed and enriched by MXT-1.5, which detects faces, text, logos, landmarks, objects, actions, context, shot types, and speech to generate a semantic, human-like description of the content for increased searchability. The output can be reviewed and validated in either Moments Lab or directly in the Oasis MAM.

More information about Moments Lab and Bitcentral’s solutions can be found on their respective websites: momentslab.com/features/mxt-1-5 and bitcentral.com/core-news/oasis.
