One of the reasons QNET is known as "The New Company With Years Of Experience" is because, unlike the newcomers in the field, many members of the QNET team have been working with HFC amplifier upgrades since the mid-nineties. This depth of experience results in a significantly enhanced customer satisfaction.

During the boom years of the late nineties, large MSOs were increasing the capabilities of their systems by buying the newest OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) amplifiers. As the economy slowed and MSO budgets were slashed, the cost savings realized by enhancing existing amplifiers became apparent. When cable systems with older equipment saw their existing equipment losing support from the original manufacturers, the demand for QNET's legacy equipment support grew.

Unlike most of the original amplifiers, newer technologies such as GaAs hybrids allow upgraded amplifiers to be placed back into their original housings and locations in the cable system. This virtually eliminates the costly respacing of amplifiers associated with implementing new OEM amplifier platforms. GaAs (gallium arsenide) hybrids also generally have better distortion characteristics than the older silicon hybrids in common use.

Since the original manufacturers did not design their amplifiers with ease-of-upgrades in mind, engineering these upgrades requires a creative design team with a thorough understanding of the OEM equipment and customer requirements. QNET is fortunate to employ a number of people who have worked both for various OEMs and for MSOs and who understand the requirements of modern cable systems.
