TELESTE SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH UPC BROADBAND

Teleste and Liberty Global, Inc.’s UPC Broadband division have signed an agreement for the delivery of Teleste’s next generation optical node products to Liberty Global’s operations across Europe. This 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. Signing this agreement is of strategic importance for Teleste, as it strengthens Teleste’s position as the leading supplier of HFC equipment in Europe.
