TORONTO, ON and RICHARDSON, TX – July 21, 2026 – Adara Technologies Inc. and Aurora Networks, a Vistance Networks (NASDAQ: VISN) business, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver hosted and managed Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) and Passive Optical Networking (PON) platforms designed to accelerate deployment of next-generation multi-gigabit broadband services. The Aurora Networks portfolio of DAA and PON solutions is also now accessible through Adara Technologies.

Adara Technologies partners with service providers to modernize their networks and monetize next-generation broadband and related video services. Their cloud-native platform accelerates network modernization by enabling operators to extend the value of existing HFC (DOCSIS) investments and hasten deployment of next-generation fiber services through a unified operational platform. By leveraging existing infrastructure across multiple access technologies, operators can reduce operational complexity, maximize the value of existing investments, and avoid stranded assets and service disruption while migrating to a DAA and/or PON deployments.

Aurora Networks is a global provider of access network solutions with a comprehensive end-to-end portfolio that supports service providers with leading-edge HFC, PON and broadband network products. Under the partnership, Aurora Networks contributes its expertise in broadband access solutions, while Adara delivers its cloud-native hosted management platform and managed services capabilities. Adara is also an approved supplier to the National Content & Technology Cooperative (NCTC), supporting independent broadband providers across North America. Together, the companies provide a unified, access technology-agnostic platform that supports both stand-alone fiber PON deployments and hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) distributed access architectures.

“Service providers are under increasing pressure to deliver multi-gigabit broadband while maximizing the value of existing HFC investments and preparing for long-term fiber expansion,” said Alesio Cicchelli, vice president and chief revenue officer of Adara Technologies.

“Our partnership with Aurora Networks combines their industry-leading access technologies with Adara’s hosted management platform and more than 20 years of managed services and bandwidth reclamation experience, enabling operators to modernize their networks with greater flexibility, lower operating costs and reduced investment risk while creating new revenue opportunities and improving return on investment.”

“This collaboration provides operators with a practical path to next-generation broadband services,” said Craig Coogan, CTO and vice president, product & strategy, Aurora Networks. “By combining Aurora Networks’ robust portfolio of cable and fiber access network technologies, including both software and hardware solutions, with Adara’s cloud-native hosted management capabilities, we are enabling scalable, resilient and cost-effective migration to next-generation multi-gigabit broadband architectures for service providers of every size.”

Key capabilities of the Adara platform include:

• Vendor-agnostic, cost-effective migration from DOCSIS 3.0 through 50G PON.
• Leverage existing infrastructure across technologies to minimize stranded capital investment.
• Cloud-based self-service auto-provisioning for hospitality, multi-dwelling and temporary service environments that reduce operating costs, increase revenue opportunities and accelerate return on investment.
• Cost-efficient geo-distributed and geo-redundant architecture for enhanced service resiliency.
• Subscriber-centric, rather than device-centric, service management with real-time usage analytics for targeted upsell opportunities and promotional speed trials.

The Aurora Networks’ portfolio, now available through Adara, includes a suite of comprehensive, open and interoperable broadband access solutions spanning both cable and fiber networks, including:

• Virtualized access platforms including vCCAP Evo™ for DOCSIS networks (leveraging over 25 years’ proven experience with CMTS software development and deployment) and vBNG Evo™ for unified subscriber management across multiple access technologies.
• Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) solutions, including fiber nodes, Remote PHY Devices (RPDs), and Remote MACPHY Devices (RMDs) supporting DOCSIS 3.0, 3.1, and Unified DOCSIS 4.0 deployments.
• Next-generation PON platforms featuring a comprehensive family of PON Evo™ OLTs (Chassis & Node form factors) with support for 50G PON coexistence and seamless continued evolution.
• Comprehensive management and control software delivering provisioning, monitoring, automation and lifecycle management across cable and fiber broadband networks.

The fully-managed solution enables broadband and cable service providers to add “TV Everywhere” services seamlessly to their networks and/or to migrate quickly to app-based streaming Pay TV services with rich features designed specifically to restore video profitability and to strengthen and grow broadband market share.

BOYCOM Cablevision, co-founded over 34 years ago by Steven D. & Patricia Jo Boyers, provides video, phone and broadband services in rural portions of Butler, Wayne, Carter and Ripley counties in southeast Missouri.  President/CEO and operator, Patricia Jo Boyers is also the current and longest serving Chairman of the Board of Directors of ACA Connects, the advocacy association for small and mid-size cable providers nationwide.

Adara also announced that it has partnered with United Teleports of Miami, Fla., a leading provider of innovative programming management and distribution services, and will work with the company for BOYCOM and other Adara operator customers seeking an off-prem headend and cloud-based terrestrial content transport. United Teleports manages one of the most comprehensive terrestrial transport networks in the Americas in support of cable, IPTV, linear, OTT, FAST, broadband and satellite DTH operators.

“As Broadband is increasingly commoditized, Video has become a must-have for operators like BOYCOM looking to win customers away from broadband-only competitors through a One-Stop Super-bundle of live linear TV, DVR, VOD and streaming services,” said Patricia Jo Boyers, President/CEO of BOYCOM. “Our confidence and trust in Adara goes back almost 20 years, and their go-to-market know-how and financial flexibility truly exceeded our expectations.

TORONTO, ON – November 21, 2024 – Adara Technologies Inc. (www.adara-tech.com) today announced that it has implemented its PowerKEY 2024 Conditional Access Time-Wrap Solution that will allow Aster Tecnodisa of the Dominican Republic to continue operation of its Scientific-Atlanta, Cisco and Technicolor set-top boxes beyond the imminent timeout date in November 2024 for all such boxes. Aster Tecnodisa provides telecommunications services to approximately 45,000 subscribers in the Dominican Republic, including its capital, Santo Domingo.

The Adara solution solves the significant issue of what will soon impact millions of digital cable set-top boxes throughout the world that utilize the PowerKEY conditional access (CA) system developed by Scientific-Atlanta in the 1990’s. An internal CA time clock issue will cause each device to roll over to zero in late November 2024, preventing the set-top from decrypting video, effectively making each inoperable as early as a month prior. Operators have been looking for an efficient and cost-effective solution that would enable these set-tops to continue operation past the November date in order to eliminate the need for an expensive, customer-disruptive replacement of set-top boxes or a forced and rushed upgrade to IP video.

“PowerKEY conditional access has delivered rock-solid content security for decades, and the 20 million or so set-tops still in the field have many more years of excellent operational life remaining,” said Stan Koukarine, CTO and Co-founder of Adara Technologies. “Our solution, which has been chosen by dozens of cable operators worldwide including Aster Tecnodisa, covers all generations of PowerKEY devices, including embedded security, separable CableCARDs and downloadable DCAS devices. We are thrilled to have solved this for Aster and its 45,000 customers and look forward to implementing additional measures to enhance service reliability and customer experience, including a paced and customer-driven migration to Adara’s game-changing, multi-screen IP video Solution.”

Rubi Santana, Operations Manager for Aster Tecnodisa, said, “Adara’s PowerKEY Time-Out Solution has enabled us to avert a crisis by extending the shelf life of our set-top boxes without negatively impacting our customers, while we work to further enhance our customer experience through ongoing network upgrades for Broadband expansion and multiscreen IP video migration with the help of Adara over the next 3 years.”

Additional Key features of Adara’s App-based IP Video Solution include:

• Complete end-to-end solution with on-prem and cloud options available
• Extremely cost-effective, saves $1 Million+ compared to other options
• Easily ingests provider’s existing video sources including ad-inserted
• No heavy burden on provider’s incoming broadband pipe
• No changes to programming licensing or transport agreements
• Provider-customized multi-screen app branding and promotion
• Managed single-app set-tops/CPE and unmanaged CPE options supported including iOS, Android, Fire TV, PC, Mac, etc.

“Adara’s solutions are multilingual and are based on decades of video and broadband industry experience,” said Mr. Guerrazzi. “We fully understand how to help our service provider partners drive success regardless of their size, leveraging our solid financial strength to offer affordable solutions that scale up and down to deliver excellent profitability and ROI for the service provider.”
