Teleste and Vecima Networks announced a new cooperation in Europe to advance a commercially open distributed access ecosystem, combining Vecima's Entra vCMTS cloud-native virtualized cable access core with Teleste's Remote PHY node portfolio and complementary local sales and support presence. The cooperation gives European cable operators a cost-efficient way to scale ultra-high-bandwidth services while preserving freedom of choice across the core and Remote PHY domains. Under the cooperation, European operators can source the open, interoperable solution through Teleste's local sales and support organization, simplifying commercial engagement while preserving architectural flexibility.
The commercial model is designed to keep multi-vendor choice commercially neutral: operators can select components based on network requirements without artificial additional costs related to interoperability or future changes in core or Remote PHY choice. The cooperation is non-exclusive, and both Teleste and Vecima remain fully open to working with all qualified vendors and supporting multi-vendor deployments based on operator preference. For operators planning their next phase of network evolution, the message is clear: openness in distributed access should not stop at technical interoperability.
It should also be reflected in the commercial model and in the operator's freedom to evolve the network over time. Visitors to ANGA COM in Cologne can discover Teleste's Remote PHY node portfolio and advanced management solutions at stand C12 in Hall 8. Vecima will showcase the Entra vCMTS at ANGA COM 2026 in Cologne, Stand A20 in Hall 8.
