Teleste and Antronix JV to Bring Next Gen Cable Technology to North American Markets

Antronix, a manufacturer of broadband products in the United States, and Teleste, a provider of video and broadband technologies and related services in Europe, have entered a joint venture to offer Next Generation Gigabit cable access network solutions to North American broadband markets. The joint venture, whose majority shares are owned by Teleste, will operate under the name Teleste Intercept, LLC and combine the companies’ Next Generation products and access network technologies.

Headquartered at the Antronix offices in Cranbury, New Jersey, the enterprise will capitalize on Teleste’s expertise and leadership in intelligent, DOCSIS 3.1 compliant network technologies in the European cable broadband footprint, as well as Antronix’s Intercept eHFC line of products and its industry permeation and solid reputation spanning three decades. The resulting line of products will provide the industry with the latest data delivery technology available in a seamless, hybrid fiber coaxial end-to-end network platform.

“We look forward to combining our capabilities and expertise with Teleste to deliver innovative, Next Generation broadband technologies,” said Neil Tang, president of Antronix.  “For more than 30 years, Antronix has provided the material framework that has supported broadband cable service to millions of households. With Teleste, we are creating a compelling end-to-end access network offering. Our Intercept eHFC FTTT solution is an excellent complement to Teleste’s mastery of Fiber Deep and Remote PHY access nodes and innovative telemetry and monitoring solutions. This technology venture will address the needs of a quickly evolving landscape for decades, when offered as a comprehensive solution.  The joint venture solves many of the challenges of network scalability and the ever-increasing data demand cable service providers will face in the next evolution of their networks.”

With more than 60 years of experience in the cable industry, Teleste is an industry leader in access nodes and 1.2 GHz network deployments.  Since 2013, Teleste has been developing its distributed architecture offering with the first Remote PHY nodes launched in Europe.

“We are truly excited to enter this joint venture with Antronix, a company with an excellent reputation and strong position in the U.S. cable broadband market,” said Hanno Narjus, SVP of Network Products at Teleste. “Emergence of Distributed Architecture is changing the world for cable broadband operators as the new technologies enable significant increase in the broadband speeds to engage subscribers.  Additionally, our well-proven Intelligent Network concept offers another major opportunity area for operators who wish to improve network reliability and service availability. We are pleased that working together with Antronix, we will be able to bring the North American operators new, viable options for driving a customer-oriented business fulfilling consumer’ expectations for increased speed and service uptime.”

 

In its first phase, the joint venture will bring Teleste’s DOCSIS 3.1 compliant intelligent optical nodes, headend optics and Remote PHY devices – fitted to meet industry requirements – to North American markets.  These solutions will be available alongside Antronix’s line of optical products and innovative multi-gigabit eHFC offering.
