Harmonic Inc. (NASDAQ: HLIT) has announced Digital Cable Systems (DCS), Romania’s third largest cable and DTH satellite service provider, has deployed the Company’s digital video delivery solutions to power its new AKTA TV digital service. Harmonic's fully integrated IP-based solutions enable DCS to reduce capital and operating expenditures by using a national IP transport backbone to deliver high quality digital TV services to remote headends across the country.

DCS has deployed Harmonic's ProStream(tm) 1000 stream processing platform for re-encoding, multiplexing and scrambling, bNSG(tm) 9000 edgeQAMs for reliable edge processing, and NMX Digital Service Manager(tm) to manage the complete video network infrastructure. DCS, an existing Harmonic customer, is located in Bucharest and launched the new 80-channel AKTA TV digital service in March 2010. Cellphone, an authorized Harmonic reseller in Romania, was a key member of this project and provided additional technology integration and customer support services. The comprehensive portfolio of Harmonic cable solutions will be on display at ANGA Cable 2010, stand #H39, taking place in Cologne, Germany from May 4-6.
