At NAB Show 2026, Harmonic continued to build on its cloud streaming momentum with updates to the VOS360 platform focused on latency reduction and more efficient monetisation workflows.

A major area of focus was improving low-latency streaming performance, helping broadcasters and content providers deliver more responsive live experiences across sports, events, and premium streaming platforms. As audience expectations continue to rise, reducing delay between live action and viewer playback remains a major priority across the industry.

Harmonic also showcased enhancements to server-side ad insertion workflows within VOS360. By streamlining ad delivery and improving integration across cloud environments, the platform aims to help providers maximise revenue opportunities without compromising viewer experience.

The broader direction is clear: cloud-native streaming infrastructure is maturing rapidly. Harmonic’s continued investment in scalability, latency optimisation, and monetisation tools reflects the growing demand for flexible streaming platforms that can support both operational efficiency and commercial growth.
