Teleste OyjComporium named Teleste sole supplier of amplifiers and network management solutions for its future HFC upgrades after a competitive RFP.

Comporium, Inc. has selected Teleste as the sole supplier of amplifiers and network management solutions for its future HFC upgrades following a competitive RFP process. The decision covers Teleste's 1.8 GHz-capable ICON3000 line extenders and ICON4000 system amplifiers equipped with plug-in transponders, together with the Teleste Argus Network Management System and Virtual Device Manager, known as VDM. Comporium, a diversified communications provider serving more than 145,000 customers across the Carolinas, said the ICON amplifiers stood out in outside plant for RF performance, usability and speed of installation, while Argus, VDM and Teleste's amplifier telemetry were chosen for their maturity, feature depth and operational value. Mike Deller, Senior Vice President of Engineering and Planning at Comporium, said the ICON3000 and ICON4000 exceeded the desired RF performance during a field trial in the company's own plant. Steve Condra, Senior Vice President of North America Sales for Teleste, said the selection was not a single-product choice and that being named sole supplier reflects the maturity of the complete platform. Deployment will follow Comporium's priorities as it advances its high-split modernization and prepares for a later transition to 1.8 GHz.
