Harmonic Partners with Evolution Digital to Simplify Fiber Broadband Deployments

SAN JOSE, Calif. - May 13, 2025 - Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced a new partnership with Evolution Digital, a global leader in advanced connectivity solutions, further expanding its roster of interoperable ONU partners and reinforcing the company's commitment to creating an open, flexible fiber broadband ecosystem. This powerful collaboration strengthens Harmonic's mission to empower broadband operators through its Open ONU approach that eliminates vendor lock-in and reduces fiber deployment costs.

Harmonic's cOS virtualized broadband platform offers seamless interoperability with Evolution Digital's EVO1111XG XGS-PON bridge and EVO6022GP3 integrated Wi-Fi 6 GPON gateway. Integration efforts between the two companies will support additional GPON and XGS-PON devices in the near future.

We're excited that our ongoing collaboration has led to our inclusion in Harmonic's Open ONU initiative, which reflects a scalable and forward-thinking strategy to support the unique business needs of the global broadband provider community, said Marc Cohen, chief revenue officer at Evolution Digital. Our interoperability with Harmonic's virtualized broadband platform - including support for GPON and 10G-capable fiber-to-the-home devices - enables partners to accelerate deployments and deliver high-quality fiber services more efficiently.

Harmonic's cOS virtualized core software allows operators to support ONU devices from any vendor, now including Evolution Digital. This expanded interoperability empowers broadband providers to choose a CPE that best fits their performance, cost and deployment requirements. As a result, operators can accelerate fiber service rollouts, lower capital expenditures and deliver high-speed connectivity to more subscribers.

The momentum around ONU interoperability is transforming how operators build and scale their fiber networks, said Hy Huynh, vice president of fiber products at Harmonic. With the addition of Evolution Digital to our growing list of certified ONU partners, we're giving operators more choice and flexibility to deliver high-speed connectivity with unmatched cost efficiency.

Harmonic will demonstrate its fiber broadband solutions at Fiber Connect 2025, June 1-4 in Nashville, in booth 824.

Harmonic's market-leading cOS platform powers next-gen broadband services to more than 33 million homes worldwide for leading operators in North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia. To learn more about the cOS platform and range of fiber solutions, visit www.harmonicinc.com/broadband.
