Vectra Powers Broadband Transformation with Harmonic
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced that Vectra, one of the largest internet providers in Poland, has selected Harmonic's industry-leading cOS™ virtualized broadband platform to accelerate its multigigabit broadband service expansion, enable selective migration to deep fiber infrastructure and power its new wholesale fiber and DOCSIS offerings. This deployment marks the world's first implementation of Harmonic's PTP-less capability for distributed access architecture (DAA), setting new standards of excellence for broadband deployments with increased reliability, simplified operations and cost savings.
'Partnering with Harmonic aligns perfectly with our strategy to lead Poland into the new era of multigigabit broadband connectivity,' said Bartlomiej Irzynski, CTO of Vectra. 'The flexibility of the Harmonic cOS platform will enable us to offer outstanding broadband experiences that subscribers expect today while allowing for seamless future migration to fiber and next-generation DOCSIS networks. The Harmonic platform also empowers us to create new revenue streams with bitstream access and wholesale-over-DOCSIS services.'
Vectra will deploy Harmonic's cOS platform in combination with Reef Remote PHY (R-PHY) Shelves, Oyster DAA nodes and a range of remote OLT devices. Vectra will also enable fiber connectivity to lower-density brownfield MDUs leveraging existing in-building coax wiring through Harmonic's newly launched SeaStar Optical Node.
Adopting a PTP-less Virtualized Core allows Vectra to eliminate the complexities of traditional timing networks and increase reliability, simplifying rollouts and accelerating time to market for advanced broadband services.
The cOS platform will enable Vectra's selective DOCSIS-to-PON migration for the delivery of high-speed fiber connectivity to targeted areas utilizing existing infrastructures, significantly reducing the operator's capital expenses. In addition, the cOS platform will allow Vectra to offer wholesale services over DOCSIS and PON to broadband partners in Poland, opening up additional revenue streams across its nationwide network.
'Our partnership with Vectra underscores the industry's growing momentum toward flexible, future-ready broadband architectures that are empowering next-generation broadband service delivery,' said Nimrod Ben-Natan, president and CEO at Harmonic. 'By adopting our cOS platform and its unique capabilities, Vectra is paving the way for multigigabit broadband services that scale with demand and drive new revenue opportunities.'
Netceed, Harmonic's value-added solutions provider, will play a key role in facilitating smooth deployment for this project, accelerating the supply chain for broadband services and enabling efficient scale-up of the cOS platform. 'Our mission is to simplify and accelerate broadband expansion for our partners and ultimately their customers,' said Arek Zawada, managing director at Netceed Poland. 'By ensuring our partners have fast, reliable access to the right technology and support, we're helping them deliver high-speed connectivity to more communities more quickly. It's about empowering people and businesses with the digital infrastructure they need to thrive.'

The company's market-leading cOS platform powers next-gen broadband services through more than 33 million customer premises equipment (CPE) devices worldwide for leading operators in North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia.

F1 Owner Expands Motorsport Empire with MotoGP Takeover
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The owner of Formula One, Liberty Media Corporation, confirmed on July 3 that it has completed the purchase of MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports. Apart from F1, Quint, and other minority investments, the American organization now lists MotoGP as a subsidiary. Liberty Media, a renowned player in the sports, media, and entertainment sector, acquired 84 percent of Dorna. The remaining 16 percent is held by the MotoGP management. The news arrives days after Newsweek Sports reported that Liberty Media was granted unconditional approval for the acquisition of Dorna for a reported $4.4 billion. Confirming the transaction, MotoGP stated: Team Ducati Lenovo Team's Marc Marquez (R) leads the race at the start of the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix at the Motorland circuit in Alcaniz, northeastern Spain, on June 8, 2025. Team Ducati Lenovo Team's Marc Marquez (R) leads the race at the start of the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix at the Motorland circuit in Alcaniz, northeastern Spain, on June 8, 2025. JOSE JORDAN / AFP/Getty Images "Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty Media") (Nasdaq: FWONA, FWONK, LLYVA, LLYVK) and Dorna Sports, S.L. ("Dorna"), the exclusive commercial rights holder of the MotoGP™ World Championship ("MotoGP"), announced today that Liberty Media has completed its acquisition of Dorna. "Following transaction close, Liberty Media's Formula One Group is composed of its subsidiaries Formula 1, MotoGP, and Quint, and other minority investments." The takeover of MotoGP was supposed to conclude last year, but given the high-profile nature of the acquisition, the deal was under the European Union's lens, which carried out an investigation to understand the deal's impact on broadcasters and streaming platforms, especially given that two motorsport giants, F1 and MotoGP, would belong to a common owner. Following the European Union's approval, Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of Dorna, who will continue to manage MotoGP, said in a statement: "We are very happy that the European Commission has approved the transaction. This is an important milestone confirming the even brighter future that lies ahead for MotoGP. "MotoGP is one of the most thrilling sports on Earth, and we look forward to accelerating the sport's growth and expanding its reach to even more fans around the world. Liberty is the best possible partner for our sport and the entire MotoGP community, and we are excited to create even greater value for our fans, commercial partners and everyone competing." Liberty Media President and CEO, Derek Chang said: "Today's approval from the European Commission marks the final condition to closing Liberty's acquisition of MotoGP. We are thrilled to officially commence Liberty's partnership with Carmelo and his excellent management team. "MotoGP is a highly attractive premium sports asset with incredible racing, a passionate fanbase and a strong cash flow profile. We believe the sport and brand have significant growth potential, which we will look to realize through deepening the connection with the core fan base and expanding to a wider global audience." Considering the success F1 has witnessed since its acquisition by Liberty Media in 2017, and its expansion into new markets such as America, one could expect MotoGP to grow in a similar manner.
