MediaKind to acquire Harmonic’s video business for $145 million

MediaKind said it has entered into an agreement to acquire the Video Business of Harmonic Inc. for about $145 million, a move that will create one of the largest independent SaaS streaming-infrastructure providers globally. The deal will be formally executed after a French employee works council consultation and is expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.

The combined company will bring together complementary strengths in SaaS streaming, appliances and cloud AV workloads. MediaKind said the merged operation will serve a blue-chip global customer base, generate more than $100 million in annual recurring revenue and over $150 million in annual appliance sales. With a business fully focused on video, the company expects stronger financial stability and long-term growth.

MediaKind added that integrating engineering teams, R&D centers and product road maps will help accelerate innovation and deliver next-generation video solutions more quickly across cloud and appliance environments.


“This combination would represent a meaningful step forward in our long-term strategy,” said MediaKind CEO Allen Broome. “Together, we would create the leading independent streaming infrastructure company, giving customers a stronger, more reliable partner to power the future of video.”

Harmonic CEO Nimrod Ben-Natan said the transaction, if completed, will allow Harmonic to double down on its core broadband business while ensuring its Video division moves to an organisation committed to video-delivery technology.
