Tellabs Optical LAN installed at McGough Headquarters

Dallas, Texas. April 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Tellabs, the leading provider of Passive Optical Network (PON) solutions, announces that McGough installed, and operates, a Tellabs® Optical LAN solution that successfully delivers flexibility in support of their network connectivity in a spacious, productive, healthy and smart modern workplace at their new headquarters.

The Tellabs Optical LAN solution is based on PON technologies that is adapted for enterprise networks, supports advanced IP/Ethernet protocols and promotes the use of fiber cabling deep inside buildings. Optical LAN speeds IT staff productivity with simplification, reduces network vulnerability points and offers the best network capacity and connectivity density.

McGough’s new, modern and distinctive corporate headquarters transforms a 60-year-old trucking terminal into a 21st century work environment, and then further expands their office footprint with a brand-new two-story wing built from the ground up. This state-of-the-art modern office allows their employees to team together in an open, healthy and flexible floorplan design meant to stimulate great collaboration and creativity; featuring flexible workstations, huddle areas, many sun-soaked windows, break stations, extended ceilings and natural light filled conference rooms. To best match their diverse architectural needs, construction demands and corporate goals, they chose Tellabs Optical LAN which ideally addressed their building challenges with:

  • More flexible design that breaks traditional network barriers
  • Offering ease of use with the more automation and less human touch
  • Ensuring least disruptive future path to new technologies, including wireless

It is very important to us to have the ability to easily, and with the lowest possible costs and least disruption to our business, to change network technologies. Wi-Fi is a great example of a rapidly evolving technology. By building this network with singlemode fiber, and Tellabs Optical LAN, we have put ourselves in the best position to support whatever the future brings,” said Paul Boespflug, McGough Chief Technology Officer.

Tellabs Optical LAN truly is the best choice for modern, open, healthy, and smart buildings. Optical LAN uniquely connects any network design, cable, service and IoT endpoint. It offers faster installs with dynamic connectivity of users, devices, and services. Plus, it scales bandwidth capacity, and number of connected devices, with true network needs,” said Rich Schroder, Tellabs President and CEO.
