    With constantly increasing operating costs and customer demand for new services such
as OTT and HDTV, cable operators need to both invest in new network equipment and lower
their operating expenses to remain competitive. Teleste addresses this issue with
Intelligent Networks concept, which helps cable operators increase the value of their
networks - by improving operational efficiency, providing real-time monitoring, and
automatically isolating problems. At ANGA Cable, Teleste will showcase:

    Access Networks

   
    - The first intelligent deep fibre node, the Teleste AC8700, which brings
      intelligence to the edge of the network. Teleste AC8700 is an intelligent fibre
      optical node that can adjust itself automatically and adapt to changing demands of the
      networks. Featuring very high capacity, the AC8700 enables operators to connect twice
      the amount of subscribers to the network.

   
    - Digital return path transmitter for AC9000 doubles the capacity of
      existing networks without the need to install new fibre connections. Digital return
      path offers an easy way to increase capacity of existing fibres. This new technology
      provides savings on fibre infrastructure costs while ensuring excellent upstream
      signal and allowing longer fibre links. At ANGA Cable 2012, Teleste will introduce the
      DOCSIS transponder for the AC9000 node.

   
    - Extensions to CXE family of fibre optic network devices, which bring
      broadband operators the best choices for economical and reliable fibre optic nodes.
      New additions to the product family are the CXE810 optical receiver, CXE852 dual
      optical receiver with remote management, and the CXE860 universal optical node.

   
    - New downstream C-band optical transmission HDO-modules. At ANGA Cable,
      Teleste introduces new HDO modules to complement a product family that covers full
      range of headend optics and provides high capacity in a cost-effective way. The HDO
      family concept includes the HDO772 fibre transmitter with the HDO750 series optical
      amplifiers. The HDO772 is a directly modulated forward path transmitter that answers
      that offers high-quality performance with lower power consumption while the HDO750
      series products allow pay- as-you-grow modularity with high density and low footprint.
      Combining the HDO772 and HDO750 series makes a powerful pair for C-band optical
      transmission.

    Headend offering

   
    - New Teleste Optimo transcoder for Cable TV, broadcast IPTV and OTT
      applications. Optimo introduces adaptive streaming with multiscreen transcoding and
      advanced image enhancement, which enable operators to provide video efficiently to
      almost any device. The new Optimo complements Teleste Luminato digital head-end
      platform and gives operators true multiscreen transcoding capability in a very compact
      solution. Optimo can transcode from one or more input streams to several output
      resolutions simultaneously. It automatically adjusts bitrates to fit available
      bandwidth and end device resolution while maintaining the precise ratio of quality to
      bit rate.
    - Luminato head-end platform will be enhanced with an FEC codec module, which
      brings advanced IP forward error correction to Luminato.

    Network Services

   
    - Rapidly changing business environment and increasing demand for more
      network services challenge modern HFC and Cable TV network operators. At ANGA Cable
      2012, Teleste will highlight its Network Services unit, which helps operators design,
      maintain and upgrade cable networks. Teleste Network Services operates in several
      European countries and it is the leading network service company in the German
      markets. Teleste Network Services is a trusted partner with local understanding who
      knows operators reality, needs and challenges. Through close collaboration with
      customers and highly skilled workforce, Teleste Network Services helps operators lower
      network infrastructure lifespan costs and develop their business.

    World Premier: Network Genius iPad game

   
    - Network Genius iPad game, the first game ever to feature cable network
      maintenance in an iPad game! The game highlights in an entertaining way the benefits
      of intelligent networks concepts, and challenges the players to test their skills and
      see who has the wits to manage a network occasionally troubled by errors. At ANGA
      Cable, Teleste will run a leader board and award the best player at the show. The game
      works on iPads and is available for download from iTunes App Store.
