The Tellabs® 7100 Optical Transport System can support 88 channels of 100 Gigabits/second terminating on 8 different fiber pairs in a single network element. That works out to more than 70 Terabits/second.

That‘s a lot of bandwidth!

Our customer, UK business communications provider Vtesse Networks, has launched an ultra-fast 100GbE optical network service. This follows our customer’s upgrade to its existing Tellabs ROADM network, operational since 2012, powered by the Tellabs® 7100 Nano™ Optical Transport System.

As Tellabs, we’re always working to make network architectures simpler, more cost-efficient and faster to produce revenue. That’s why our customers are so interested in software-defined networking (SDN).

Do you know who can intercept the communications going through your local area network (LAN)? 

Interception is easier than you might guess, because most LANs use copper wiring. Copper acts like an antenna -- broadcasting radio frequencies that can be intercepted even without a physical tap.

The networks of tomorrow will need higher speeds than networks of the past. 

That’s because new applications are increasing bandwidth needs in fiber optic networks.  In addition, cloud computing leads to greater variability in traffic destinations. Customers need new technologies to support communications and dynamic network reconfiguration at higher speeds.
