Tellabs, Inc., incorporated on February 10, 1992, is engaged in designing and marketing equipment and services to communications-services providers worldwide. The company operates in four segments: optical, data, access and services. Its products and services, in combination with its Tellabs 8000 Intelligent Network Manager, enables its customers to deliver wireless and wireline voice, data and video services to business and residential customers. It sells its products domestically and internationally through its field sales force and distributors/partners.
Its customers are primarily communication services providers, including wireline and wireless service providers, multiple system operators (MSOs), and competitive service providers (CSPs). Its customer base also includes distributors, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), system integrators and government agencies. It generates revenue principally through the sale of these products to communications service providers worldwide as both stand-alone network elements and as elements of integrated solutions. It also generates revenue by providing services to its customers.
Optical segment
The Optical segment includes solutions that enable service providers to manage network bandwidth by adding capacity when and where needed. Service providers use these solutions to support metro networks, mobile services, business services for enterprises, and triple-play voice, video and data services for residential consumers. The primary products in this segment include the Tellabs 5000 Series of Digital Cross-Connect systems, the Tellabs 6300 Managed Transport System, the Tellabs 7100 Optical Transport System (OTS) and the Tellabs 7300 Metro Ethernet Switching Series.
The Tellabs 5000 Series of Digital Cross-Connect systems manages and routes voice, data and video traffic and combines, consolidates and segregates signals to maximize efficiency. It also provides a centralized point for network performance monitoring and testing, as well as converting different signal formats. Used by every service provider in North America (United States and Canada), the Tellabs 5500 Digital Cross-Connect reduces equipment and maintenance costs and maximizes network profitability.
The Tellabs 6300 Managed Transport System is an SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) based transport platform that serves wireline and wireless operators outside North America. The Tellabs 7100 OTS enables service providers to deliver high-speed wavelength services and alleviate bandwidth bottlenecks. The Tellabs 7100 system integrates optical and electrical transport via wavelength selective switches (WSS), Optical Transport Network (OTN), ROADM (reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexing), Ethernet switching, MSPPs (multiservice provisioning platforms) and DWDM (dense wave-division multiplexing) into a single platform. The 7100 system decreases capital and operating expenses by reducing network elements and equipment interconnections. The Tellabs 7300 Metro Ethernet Switching Series offers a portfolio of Ethernet switching products that address service management, provisioning, monitoring and troubleshooting.
Data segment
The Data segment products include packet-switched products that enable wireless and wireline carriers to deliver mobile voice and Internet services and wireline business services to their customers. Data products include the Tellabs 8100 Managed Access System and the Tellabs 8600 and 8800 Smart Routers.
The Tellabs 8100 Managed Access System is used outside North America in business-service and wireless applications to deliver integrated 2G voice and data services with an evolutionary path to 3G services. The Tellabs 8600 Smart Router provides cost-efficient ways to migrate from 3G to Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks by using pseudo wire technology to manage Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), frame . relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Ethernet and Internet Protocol (IP) traffic in a single device. It is ideal for current customers of the Tellabs 6300 Managed Transport System and the Tellabs 8100 Managed Access systems because it can be fully integrated with those platforms under a common network manager.
The Tellabs 8800 Smart Router enables service providers to leverage existing infrastructure to cost-effectively integrate all their networks (ATM, Frame Relay, Ethernet and IP) onto a converged MPLS network, while retaining quality of service (QoS). This capability enables users to share information regardless of their access technology. The Tellabs 8800 Smart Router is able to take in traffic of any network type and route it over any other network type.
Access segment
The Access segment products enable service providers to deliver bundled voice, video and high-speed Internet/data services over the last mile of copper or fiber networks. Access products also enable optical local area networking (LAN) using gigabit passive optical network (GPON) technology. Access offerings include the Tellabs 1000 Multiservice Access Series, the Tellabs 1100 Multiservice Access Series and the Tellabs 1600 Optical Network Terminal (ONT) Series.
The Tellabs 1000 and 1100 Series can be configured as a digital loop carrier (DLC) or a digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM). In addition, the 1000 series serves as an optical line terminal (OLT) for fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) network architectures using optical network (BPON) technology and a voice gateway for voice-over-Internet-protocol (VoIP). The 1100 series serves as an OLT for GPON FTTP networks and optical local area network (LAN), as well as for fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) and fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) network architectures. The Tellabs 1600 series of ONTs consist of remote devices installed at user locations for both FTTP networks and optical LANs.
Services segment
The Services segment delivers deployment, training, support and professional services to Tellabs’ customers. Through these offerings, Tellabs serves its customers through the phases of planning, deploying and operating a network. Deployment services include project management, engineering, material furnishing, installation, testing and acceptance to ensure timely implementation of network projects. Training services are designed to equip customers with the hands-on skills needed to deploy, provision, operate and maintain Tellabs products. Support includes services that Tellabs delivers to help customers quickly and effectively address network issues. Professional services include primarily consulting and network design services that enable its customers to operate their network facilities in a more efficient and effective manner.
