Tellabs 7100 Optical Transport System: Lighting the Way to Converged Networks
New advanced Ethernet and packet capabilities enable services at the speed of light
NAPERVILLE, Ill., Aug. 21 -- Video on demand. Mobile gaming. Online banking. Service providers are migrating to Ethernet to handle these packet-based services. The addition of Ethernet switching and aggregation to the Tellabs(R) 7100 optical transport system (OTS) provides a Carrier Ethernet platform that economically lights the way to new converged transport networks.
"Growing user demand for new services challenges our customers' networks," said Dan Kelly, executive vice president of transport products for Tellabs. "The enhanced capabilities of the Tellabs 7100 OTS assure availability of Ethernet services, so users get reliable video and data at the speed of light."
Lighter and Lighter Networks
To compete successfully, service providers must upgrade existing transport networks to provide Carrier Ethernet services while maintaining reliability and profits. Now, with the new unified SONET/SDH and native Ethernet switching fabric and enhanced Ethernet aggregation capabilities, service providers can deliver these services even more cost-effectively.
The Tellabs 7100 OTS integrates the latest in optical technology to deliver all types of transport services -- ROADM, Carrier Ethernet, SAN, video, and SONET/SDH -- a benefit unique in the industry. Service providers can now buy fewer stand-alone Ethernet switches and MSPPs, lowering their capital and maintenance expenses to lighten their load while delivering more Ethernet, SONET/SDH and traffic via light waves.
"The Tellabs 7100 OTS with ROADM gained a valuable measure of credibility via its inclusion in Verizon's FiOS build out," said Jason Marcheck, principal analyst - optical infrastructure, Current Analysis. "The addition of Ethernet switching and aggregation ensures that Tellabs has the products to meet the full range of operator requirements."
