History

Harmonic was initially incorporated in California in June 1988 as Harmonic Lightwaves, and reincorporated into Delaware in May 1995. Anthony J. Ley became chief executive in November 1988 after the creation of the company by co-founders Moshe Nazarathy, and Josef Berger. Co-founder Moshe Nazarathy led a research and development center named "Harmonic Data" in Israel starting in 1993, funded in part by the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation.[3]

Harmonic acquired the DiviCom business of C-Cube Microsystems in 2000 for about $1.7 billion in stock.[4] It acquired the video networking software business of Entone Technologies in 2006 for about $45 million,[5]
