Vendor-independent Distributed Access technology
Teleste’s Distributed Access technology is seamlessly interoperable with all major CMTS and CCAP cores, whether virtual or traditional. This means that operators can be confident that our RPDs will perform flawlessly when integrated in a network using any major DOCSIS system. Such interoperability guarantees continuous operation of the RPDs even when switching the CCAP core vendor, offering flexibility that license-locked RPDs typically lack.
Safeguarding infrastructure investments
For Teleste’s RPD customers, the high level of interoperability brings security against infrastructure changes or, for example, potential logistics and supply chain issues. Our customers can freely switch their CCAP core providers and incorporate Teleste RPDs as complementary Remote PHY solution to mitigate risks without compromising network integrity. This strategic approach not only ensures that networks are future-proof but also safeguards operators’ infrastructure investments and enhances the efficiency of large-scale network deployments.

DAN3 – Rewarded Remote PHY node
DAN3 is Teleste’s remote PHY node that is designed and optimized for distributed access networks where compact device size is paramount. Offering a flexible alternative for operators eager to build networks having substantially higher capacity, the node ensures an ultra-fast, robust, and reliable Internet experience for broadband users. In parallel, the DAN3 also provides excellent services for traditional broadcast TV customers.
The DAN3 has a single downstream and up to two upstream segments and it can be equipped with one 1×1 or 1×2 remote PHY modules. The 1×2 module supports 1×1 configuration that can be upgraded to 1×2 remotely if a capacity extension is needed later on. This makes the DAN3 a future-proof investment for operators who are looking for a reliable solution for network transformations. This excellent Remote PHY node was recognized among the best in the industry by the 2023 Broadband Technology Report’s Diamond Technology Reviews.
