Across gas, electricity, water, wind, and solar networks, GE Verona JungleMux platforms continue to play a critical role in operational communications. These systems support monitoring, control, telemetry, and legacy service transport in environments where resilience, longevity, and predictable performance matter more than rapid technology refresh.
Although JungleMux is no longer in active sale, it remains widely deployed across utility and renewable infrastructure. At Comtek, we provide specialist repair, refurbishment, and life extension services that help operators maintain network availability while controlling cost and operational risk.
Where JungleMux Is Still Used Today
JungleMux equipment is commonly found in locations such as:
- Electrical substations and grid edge sites
- Gas pressure reduction and telemetry stations
- Water treatment works and pumping stations
- Wind farms and solar parks
- Remote roadside and rural utility cabinets
These sites are often unmanned, difficult to access, and subject to harsh environmental conditions. As a result, replacement programmes are rarely straightforward and are frequently deferred in favour of maintaining proven infrastructure.
OEM Lifecycle Status and What It Means for Operators
In Q1 2025, GE Vernova issued a formal lifecycle update covering JungleMux and related multiplexer products.
- JungleMux products are discontinued for sale
- Last Time Buy was 30 June 2025
- Last Time Delivery is 31 December 2025
- GE is transitioning to a subscription based support model for technical assistance
- Formal End of Life is scheduled for 30 June 2032
For utility and renewable operators, this provides clarity on timelines but also highlights a widening gap between OEM support horizons and real world asset lifecycles. Many JungleMux systems will remain operational well beyond active vendor engagement.
Comtek’s Broader Telecom Repair Services
Comtek provides a comprehensive range of telecom repair solutions, underpinning our ability to support JungleMux and other field communications equipment. Our general telecom repair services include meticulous, component-level work across technologies such as CWDM, OTN, GPON, DWDM, PDH, SDH, and more. This work helps maximise uptime and allows operators to extend asset life without costly replacement.

Why Repair Remains the Lowest Risk Option
Replacing JungleMux platforms in utility environments often involves:
- Planned outages and regulatory coordination
- Site access permits and safety controls
- Civil works and power modifications
- Migration risk for operational services
- Significant capital expenditure
In contrast, repair and refurbishment allow operators to maintain continuity while planning longer term modernisation on their own timelines.
Comtek’s JungleMux Repair Capability
Comtek delivers component level repair for GE Verona JungleMux equipment, with a focus on restoring long term reliability rather than short term fault clearance.
Supported repair areas
- Control and processor cards
- Interface and communications modules
- Power supplies and voltage regulation circuits
- Backplane and connector faults
- Failures caused by heat, moisture, dust, or vibration
Each unit undergoes structured fault diagnosis, targeted component replacement, and functional testing before return to service.
Built for Harsh and Unattended Environments
Utility and renewable deployments expose equipment to continuous operation, wide temperature ranges, and environmental stress. Our repair process accounts for this by addressing common age related component failures that, if left untreated, can lead to repeat site visits and unplanned outages.
This is particularly important for remote wind and solar assets where access windows are limited.
Refurbishment and Preventative Maintenance
Beyond break fix repair, Comtek offers refurbishment and preventative maintenance programmes tailored to large, geographically distributed utility estates.
Preventative work supports predictable maintenance cycles, reduces emergency interventions, and helps operators maintain service stability across critical infrastructure.
Independent, Vendor Neutral Support
Comtek operates as an independent repair organisation with extensive experience supporting legacy telecoms equipment across critical national infrastructure. We are not affiliated with GE or any successor platform, allowing us to focus purely on operational outcomes rather than forced refresh cycles.
Extending Asset Life While Controlling Cost
For gas, electricity, water, wind, and solar operators, JungleMux repair is fundamentally about uptime, safety, and cost avoidance. Extending the life of existing equipment reduces waste, limits disruption, and supports sustainability objectives while maintaining operational visibility and control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair GE Verona JungleMux equipment that is no longer supported by the OEM?
Yes. Comtek specialises in supporting legacy and discontinued telecoms platforms. Our repair services are independent of OEM support status and focus on keeping deployed equipment operational.
Can JungleMux be repaired at component level?
Yes. We carry out component level repairs on JungleMux modules and assemblies rather than simple unit swaps, which helps improve long term reliability and reduce repeat failures.
Is repair suitable for critical utility infrastructure?
Yes. Repair and refurbishment are widely used across gas, electricity, water, wind, and solar networks where service continuity and risk reduction are priorities.
Do you support large installed bases across multiple sites?
Yes. We regularly support utility operators with geographically distributed estates and can align repairs with planned maintenance and spares strategies.
Can you help extend asset life while we plan network upgrades?
Yes. Many operators use our services to stabilise existing platforms while planning phased migration or modernisation programmes.
