Teleste has announced a significant agreement to provide its 1.8 GHz broadband technology to VodafoneZiggo.
The collaboration with the Dutch cablenet will enable the spectrum capability required for DOCSIS 4.0. Teleste will supply 1.8 GHz intelligent amplifiers, multitaps, and telemetry solutions for VodafoneZiggo’s nationwide network upgrade. The first phase of deliveries has been successfully completed, marking the start of a multi-year partnership.
With an area in central Amsterdam already upgraded, the rollout represents Europe’s first major deployment of a 1.8 GHz network in preparation for DOCSIS 4.0. The technology sets a new standard for internet speed and reliability, allowing customers to enjoy seamless streaming, gaming, and other digital experiences without interruptions.
“This partnership marks an important next step in our renewed strategy, focused on improving the customer experience, delivering fast and reliable internet across the Netherlands, and making targeted investments in our network and core activities. We continue to develop to ensure our customers enjoy stable WiFi throughout their homes and simplified internet services,” said Thomas Helbo, Chief Technology Officer at VodafoneZiggo.
With broadband speed remaining crucial for subscribers, broadband service providers are increasingly competing on high service quality and reliability. With Teleste’s intelligent 1.8 GHz amplifiers, equipped with state-of-the-art telemetry capability, VodafoneZiggo can identify and resolve network issues in real time, minimising service interruptions and ensuring customers enjoy consistent, high-quality internet.
“VodafoneZiggo’s investment in DOCSIS 4.0 technology, with its 10G promise, exemplifies how cable infrastructure will remain competitive for the next 10+ years. This agreement demonstrates our leadership in 1.8 GHz broadband technology and our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of the market,” said Ulf Andersson, Head of Teleste’s Broadband Networks business.“We look forward to working closely with VodafoneZiggo to upgrade their network infrastructure and deliver superior connectivity experiences to subscribers.”
It is an excellent deployment for Teleste, who will want Ziggo to pave the way for other operators in Europe to adopt next-generation DOCSIS 4.0 solutions after a fallow period in the region.
