Teleste Launches the AC1800 and AC2800 Amplifiers

Teleste Corporation has recently launched their two new models, the AC1800 and AC2800, which are compact 1.8 GHz broadband amplifiers. These amplifiers cater specifically to European cable operators who are upgrading their networks to manage higher capacities and serve better quality services efficiently.

Background of the AC Series

Currently, network evolution is in full swing across Europe. Many cable operators are expanding their capacities even before fully transitioning to 1.8 GHz frequencies. As a result, the introduction of 1.8 GHz RF passives is becoming widespread. The AC1800 and AC2800 amplifiers follow this trend, offering cable operators a chance to renew their existing 1.2 GHz amplifier sites while also establishing a foundation for 1.8 GHz capabilities from the onset.

This dual functionality allows operators to meet today's 1.2 GHz requirements without discarding future upgrades to 1.8 GHz. Mika Kavanti, the Head of Sales at Teleste Networks for Europe, emphasizes that the decision-making process for operators has changed. The focus is no longer about choosing between 1.2 GHz and 1.8 GHz amplifiers; rather, they can now opt for an amplifier that serves both purposes effectively.

Features and Benefits

The AC1800 and AC2800 are specifically designed for use in street cabinets and incorporate high RF performance into a compact frame. They are built to endure rigorous outdoor conditions, ensuring reliable operation in various environments. An essential advantage of these new amplifiers is their energy efficiency, with controlled power consumption, making them an excellent choice for operators conscious of operational costs.

Moreover, these amplifiers are equipped with smart functions as standard. Automatic control features are integrated into their design, and for those needing remote communication and network management capabilities, an optional transponder can be included.

Early engagement with customers has revealed a healthy interest in the AC Series, with initial deployments scheduled for 2026. Many have expressed a keen desire to implement these amplifiers and enhance their network efficiency promptly.

Trade Show Presentation

Teleste will showcase the AC1800 and AC2800 models at ANGA COM in Cologne, where visitors can also explore Teleste's 1.8 GHz passive portfolio. This exhibition offers a perfect platform for operators and stakeholders to appreciate how the new amplifiers can fit into their future network plans.
