New Partnership with Spideo Offers FAST Channel Scheduling and Groundbreaking Content Personalization
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT) today announced that it has further expanded its cloud playout ecosystem and automated the creation of FAST channels. Through a new technology partnership with Spideo, a leading provider of personalization and recommendation solutions, Harmonic's VOS®360 Media SaaS enables video content providers to automatically create schedules for FAST channels and offer groundbreaking personalization.
"One of the most significant challenges in the FAST market is scheduling," said Thibault Dorso, CRO and co-founder at Spideo.

Channel personalization capabilities powered by Spideo enable content providers to create FAST channels personalized to individual users or a qualified cluster of users.
"The FAST market is rapidly evolving and media companies are continuing to adapt to the changes," said Gil Rudge, senior vice president, video products and solutions at Harmonic.
