/PRNewswire/ --

Teleste, an international technology group specialised

in broadband video and data communication systems

and services, today announces several new products

and solutions to its Intelligent Networks product family.

New additions include the AC8700 intelligent node for

deep-fibre networks, digital return path transmitter for

top-of-the-line AC9000 node, and the Optimo

transcoder for multi-screen delivery. Intelligent

Networks technology can reduce network operating

costs by even up to 50 percent. At ANGA Cable, Teleste

showcases real-world examples of the impact

Intelligent Networks technology can have by

highlighting Stofa's network that utilizes Intelligent

Networks technology and the recently signed

framework agreement with UPC Broadband for the

delivery of Intelligent Networks products. Additionally,

Teleste launched the Network Genius iPad game that

lets players try their hand in maintaining a cable

network through a fun computer game

available on App

Store

.

"Traditionally, the main reason for high operating expenses in cable networks

has been manual maintenance. We believe that it doesn't have to be. Our

customers share the same conviction with us and have keenly adopted the

Intelligent Networks philosophy. Real world examples clearly show that by

utilizing intelligent network devices and management software, operators can

reduce OPEX and service outages, provide better service to end-users, and

eventually reduce churn," says

Hanno Narjus

, SVP, Video and Broadband

Solutions, Teleste.

Intelligent Networks deliver impressive results at Stofa

The Danish triple play operator Stofa, which provides TV, broadband, and

telephony services to a customer base of 400,000 Cable-TV households and

170,000 broadband subscribers relies on Teleste Intelligent Networks

technology. The company set out to build and operate a cost-effective, future-

proof, and high-quality Cable-TV network with a special focus on high customer

satisfaction. Stofa selected Teleste's Intelligent Network platform to build an

HFC network that can be fully configured and monitored remotely all the way to

the last optical node and amplifier. Today, Stofa's networks equipped with

Teleste's intelligent Network technology cover more than 250.000 households.

"With Intelligent Network technology, we can quickly get an overview of

network health, pinpoint problems geographically and quickly repair any

potential problems. This reduces repair times and lowers operating costs

significantly," says

Thomas Helbo,

CTO, Stofa.

UPC Broadband builds on Intelligent Networks

Teleste and Liberty Global, Inc.'s UPC Broadband division recently signed an

agreement for the delivery of Teleste's Intelligent Networks products to Liberty

Global's operations across

Europe

. The new optical node platform allows cable

operators to reduce both the network upgrade costs as well as improve

subscriber service availability as the installation time can be minimized due to

intelligence embedded in the product. The value of the agreement is estimated

to exceed

EUR 10 million

until end of 2017.

Teleste Extends Intelligent Networks Offering

At ANGA Cable, Teleste announces several new products to extend the

Intelligent Networks family. Key announcements for the show are:

Access Networks

The first

intelligent deep fibre node, the Teleste AC8700

, which brings intelligence to

the edge of the network. Teleste AC8700 is an intelligent fibre optical node that can

adjust itself automatically and adapt to changing demands of the networks. Featuring

very high capacity, the AC8700 enables operators to connect twice the amount of

subscribers to the network.

Digital return path transmitter for AC9000

doubles the capacity of existing networks

without the need to install new fibre connections. Digital return path offers an easy way

to increase capacity of existing fibres. This new technology provides savings on fibre

infrastructure costs while ensuring excellent upstream signal and allowing longer fibre

links. At ANGA Cable 2012, Teleste will introduce the DOCSIS transponder for the

AC9000 node.

Extensions to CXE family of fibre optic network devices

, which bring broadband

operators the best choices for economical and reliable fibre optic nodes. New additions

to the product family are the CXE810 optical receiver, CXE852 dual optical receiver

with remote management, and the CXE860 universal optical node.

New downstream C-band optical transmission HDO-modules

. At ANGA Cable,

Teleste introduces new HDO modules to complement a product family that covers full

range of headend optics and provides high capacity in a cost-effective way. The HDO

family concept includes the HDO772 fibre transmitter with the HDO750 series optical

amplifiers. The HDO772 is a directly modulated forward path transmitter that answers

that offers high-quality performance with lower power consumption while the HDO750

series products allow pay- as-you-grow modularity with high density and low footprint.

Combining the HDO772 and HDO750 series makes a powerful pair for C-band optical

transmission.

Headend offering

New Teleste Optimo transcoder

for Cable TV, broadcast IPTV and OTT applications.

Optimo introduces adaptive streaming with multiscreen transcoding and advanced

image enhancement, which enable operators to provide video efficiently to almost any

device. The new Optimo complements Teleste Luminato digital head-end platform and

gives operators true multiscreen transcoding capability in a very compact solution.

Optimo can transcode from one or more input streams to several output resolutions

simultaneously. It automatically adjusts bitrates to fit available bandwidth and end

device resolution while maintaining the precise ratio of quality to bit rate.

Luminato head-end platform will be enhanced with an FEC codec module, which

brings advanced IP forward error correction to Luminato.

Network Services

Rapidly changing business environment and increasing demand for more network

services challenge modern HFC and Cable TV network operators. At ANGA Cable

2012, Teleste will highlight its Network Services unit, which helps operators design,

maintain and upgrade cable networks. Teleste Network Services operates in several

European countries and it is the leading network service company in the German

markets. Teleste Network Services is a trusted partner with local understanding who

knows operators reality, needs and challenges. Through close collaboration with

customers and highly skilled workforce, Teleste Network Services helps operators

lower network infrastructure lifespan costs and develop their business.
