Teleste has announced a new dual output amplifier that is compatible with both 1.8 GHz and 1.2 GHz networks.
The CX4, said to be the first amplifier of its kind in Europe, will make its debut at next week’s ANGA COM event in Cologne (May 14-16).
Building on Teleste’s CX3 platform, the CX4 introduces an advanced, high-performance solution that allows operators to take most out of their existing DOCSIS 3.1 networks, as well as the upcoming network generations, including DOCSIS 4.0. This versatility allows operators to install the amplifier in their 1.2 GHz networks today and later upgrade to 1.8 GHz with different split frequencies between upstream and downstream.
The CX4’s return path reaches up to 492 MHz, set through diplexers and filter modules. Additionally, the amplifier boasts a high gain return amplifier, seamlessly integrated to the motherboard. Coupled with the broad usable gain range and high output levels, this ensures that the compact CX4 consistently delivers excellent RF performance.
In line with Teleste’s dedication to sustainability, the CX4 features a Power Save mode that allows operators to optimise power consumption in relation to the needed network signal levels. This mode is particularly beneficial when network loading is lower, as it allows operators to conserve energy without compromising on performance.
The CX4 is also equipped with ingress control switches, making it efficient to detect and control ingress issues and helping operators minimise service outages. The switches can be operated remotely via an optional module.
