Teleste announced that it has signed a Master Supply Agreement with a prominent operator customer in North America. Under the terms of the agreement, Teleste has received volume orders for intelligent 1.8 GHz ICON amplifiers, all equipped with advanced telemetry capabilities enabled by transponders. Commencing in February 2024, these landmark deliveries signify the rise of intelligent cable network technology in North America, as these amplifiers are designed not only to revolutionize network performance and enable seamless DOCSIS 4.0 rollouts, but also to unleash considerable efficiencies in terms of service quality and network operational costs.

In cable networks, the DOCSIS 4.0 infrastructure will enable 10 Gbps broadband speeds and new digital experiences to consumers and businesses. The main advantages of the DOCSIS technology for cable MSOs are fast and cost-efficient network deployments based on utilizing the existing coaxial cabling. Teleste's fully DOCSIS 4.0 compliant 1.8 GHz amplifiers allow the Customer to leverage these advancements while also featuring an additional layer of intelligence for functionality, such as remote management and automatic adjustments, that provide new avenues for operational savings and higher network utilization.

With the continued growth of data consumption and the increasing demand for reliable high-speed broadband services, cable MSOs in North America are under pressure to upgrade their networks to meet evolving consumer expectations. Teleste's intelligent 1.8 GHz amplifiers not only enable the much needed multigigabit speeds, but also help unlock new levels of service quality and reliability. These improvements are based on the utilization of telemetry that increases operators' capabilities to prevent and solve possible service issues, maximize service uptime, and ensure consistent connectivity.
