Achieving technical validation for VOS360 Ad SaaS within the FreeWheel ecosystem underscores the robustness of Harmonic's technology and represents a significant milestone for the video streaming industry, said Gil Rudge, senior vice president, products and Americas sales, video business at Harmonic. This integration will enable publishers to offer more personalized and engaging ad experiences, contributing to greater viewer satisfaction and supporting revenue growth.
Harmonics VOS360 Ad is an innovative cloud-native, stand-alone SSAI solution that enables personalized full-screen and in-stream ad delivery to millions of concurrent viewers.

A key highlight of the solution is its ad reporting dashboard, which provides KPI metrics to easily understand the health of the system, monitor fill rates and maximize yield.
