             HARMONIC ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY FOURTH QUARTER NET SALES

                         RESULTS EXCEED REVENUE GUIDANCE

SUNNYVALE, CALIF.--JANUARY 13, 2005--Harmonic Inc. (Nasdaq: HLIT) today
announced its preliminary net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2004.
These results are subject to change as a result of final management review and
closing adjustments for the quarter and fiscal year end.

For the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company expects to report net sales between
approximately $83 million and $86 million, exceeding previously stated
revenue guidance of $72 million to $78 million. The Company's higher than
anticipated net sales in the fourth quarter of 2004 primarily reflected stronger
than expected bookings in the fourth quarter.

A more detailed review of fourth quarter results as well as the outlook for the
first quarter of 2005 will be provided when complete fourth quarter and fiscal
year end results are announced on a conference call at 2:00 p.m. (Pacific) on
January 20, 2005. A listen-only broadcast of the conference call can be accessed
on the Company's website at www.harmonicinc.com or by calling +1-617-786-2961
(participant code 80352909). The replay will be available after 5:00 p.m. on
January 20 at the same website address or by calling +1-617-801-6888
(participant code 80352909).
