Similarly, video surveillance systems are increasingly moving towards fully digital network technology and more advanced au- tomatic control applications. Digitization of services and networks began already in the late 1990s and is still continuing strong. It is progressing deeper into the network infrastructure and, simultaneously, spreading wider geographically; in Teleste’s main market areas in Europe, digitiza- tion will still continue strong for many years and elsewhere in the world in many places it is only just beginning. Teleste contributes to this digitization of networks by providing its customers with both equipment and services. We can either make available complete product solutions or develop them together with our customers to make them better meet the changing demand. This, combined with our strong offering of network design and maintenance services, allows us to offer our unique overall expertise in the promotion of digital expansion among our operator customers.
