Teleste Adds Authorized Repair Services to Its Growing North American HFC Ecosystem

Fiber Node Services adds a U.S.-based path for warranty and out-of-warranty repairs, complementing Teleste’s established regional manufacturing, assembly, sales and technical support.

TURKU, FINLAND, AND CAROL STREAM, ILL. – September 28, 2026 – North American cable operators now have an additional, manufacturer-authorized route for servicing Teleste Networks hardware. Teleste has appointed and trained Fiber Node Services, Inc. (FNS) as an authorized provider of warranty and out-of-warranty repairs through its U.S. repair network.

The authorization covers all Teleste Networks hardware sold in North America. It adds regional repair to a North American operating footprint that already spans manufacturing, customer-specific assembly, sales and technical support.

Teleste has supported North American operators locally for years through dedicated sales and technical support teams, backed by the company’s engineering, manufacturing and supply capabilities in Europe. Its regional footprint also includes high-volume production of the ICON amplifier family through GPV Americas in Mexico and customer-specific assembly at Teleste’s New Jersey distribution center.

“For operators, local presence should not end when equipment is delivered,” said Steve Condra, Senior Vice President of North America Sales for Teleste. “It should mean capacity when deployments grow, technical expertise when it is needed and a practical repair route throughout the life of the equipment. We have built those capabilities step by step in North America. Authorized service through FNS adds another important layer.”

By combining production in Europe and Mexico with assembly in the United States, Teleste can increase available output, shorten transportation paths for North American deliveries and retain multiple supply options as demand changes. FNS adds qualified U.S. repair capacity connected directly to Teleste’s product and engineering expertise.

FNS has specialized in the diagnostics, repair and refurbishment of CATV broadband equipment for more than 30 years. Following qualification and product-specific training by Teleste, its technicians are authorized to diagnose, repair and test Teleste Networks hardware according to Teleste’s procedures and requirements.

“Effective repair depends on more than having a repair bench close to the customer,” said Zoran Beric, CEO and President of Fiber Node Services. “It takes broadband experience, product-specific knowledge and a direct connection to the manufacturer. Our teams have already provided repair services for Teleste equipment in North America, and this authorization builds on that work. We will continue giving operators regional support for both warranty and out-of-warranty needs.”

Together, these capabilities give North American operators a shorter path to the products, people and services behind their networks—from supply and configuration through technical support and repair—while retaining access to Teleste’s broader global engineering, manufacturing and supply resources.
