Tellabs to Demonstrate Its 10GbE Optical LAN Solution at BICSI Winter 2015

ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwired - Feb 23, 2015) - BICSI Winter Conference and Exhibition 2015 booth #516 -- Tellabs, a leading provider of passive optical network (PON) solutions, is showcasing its 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Optical LAN capability at the BICSI Winter Conference & Exhibition, booth #516. The next-generation Optical LAN solution, developed by Tellabs' engineering lab, demonstrates Tellabs' technology is truly future-proof and ready to meet the evolving network needs of an enterprise.

As the need for high-bandwidth applications grows, the traditional copper-based LAN technology cannot keep pace. Unlike the traditional option, fiber-based Optical LAN delivers the bandwidth companies need today and in the future via an infrastructure that is more simple, secure, stable, scalable and sustainable.

Tellabs' next-generation 10GbE Optical LAN technology will provide symmetrical capacity of 10Gbps in both upstream and downstream directions. Tellabs will also enable a graceful migration path to 10GbE that minimizes impact to existing users and leverages the existing architecture. The next-generation technology is currently showcased at Tellabs' engineering facility in Dallas.

"With the 10GbE capability of our Optical LAN technology, Tellabs adds another chapter to our pioneering achievements and proves our dedication to shaping next-generation Optical LAN technologies," said Mike Dagenais, CEO of Tellabs. "The demonstration at the BICSI Winter event shows that we're ready to meet our customers' evolving connectivity needs, with no network infrastructure rip-and-replace required."

In addition at the event, Michael Wilson, RCDD and solutions sales manager, will participate in the conference via a presentation titled "Healthcare ICT Trends & Innovation: Passive Optical LAN (GPON) for the New Era," scheduled for 10:30am on Wednesday, February 25. He will be joined by Darren Vican, RCDD, OSP, VP and global service leader for RTKL's Technology Design Studio.
