SAO PAULO, Oct. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- How can mobile
operators best manage the operating expense challenges of small
cell networks? The operating expenses of small cells may exceed
capital expenses, which makes a tough challenge for operators.
Tellabs offers new insights into making backhaul of small cells
easier, at Futurecom Booth E10. The company will showcase its new
Tellabs 8602 Smart Router designed for small cell backhaul. It's
designed for plug-and-play installation, with built-in
autodiscovery, so the Tellabs 8000 Intelligent Network Manager can
easily manage hundreds or thousands of small cells. That capability
means faster deployment and faster time to revenue.
Tellabs' exhibit at Futurecom 2013 is at Booth E10 at the
Riocentro Exhibition Center in Rio de
Janeiro, October 21-24.
Enabling IP/MPLS for small cell backhauling
The new Tellabs 8602 Smart Router for Latin America and Caribbean operators enables them to more
easily and cost-efficiently deal with growing capacity demands on
today's networks. The Tellabs 8602 router enables the use of
IP/MPLS as a unified technology down to small cell sites. This
enables superior control of the network, maximizes capacity
utilization and simplifies network operations.
The Tellabs 8602 router is designed for network sites that
require a compact-sized, low-power-consumption device. These new
routers can be deployed in a dense topology and in the most
demanding outdoor installations.
Integrating packet optical and Carrier Ethernet
As mobile data traffic grows around the world, more and more
traffic is backhauled on optical links. Tellabs will highlight
mobile backhaul and metro networks solutions based on its packet
optical and Carrier Ethernet platforms. Tellabs integrates optical
and Carrier Ethernet services with the CE 2.0 certified Tellabs
7100 Nano Optical Transport System and Tellabs 7300 Carrier
Ethernet switches and demarcation devices. This approach makes it
easy for customers to efficiently manage growing network
requirements and enable new business services.
Introducing Optical LAN
New in the Latin American market, Tellabs Optical LAN replaces
conventional copper-based LANs with a purpose-built, high-capacity,
high-performance LAN. It simplifies network infrastructure and
operations, getting the job done with fewer network elements by
using passive optical networking technology. Tellabs Optical LAN
can save up to 70% in the cost of ownership, lower energy
consumption by up to 80% and reduce space needs by up to 90%.
Tellabs Optical LAN converges all of a building's or campus'
wired and wireless communications networks into one ̶
handling Wi-Fi, data, voice, CATV, security, building automation
networks and more. Optical LAN eliminates the need for future
re-cabling and tightens security.
Incorporating SDN functionality
New research by Strategy Analytics finds that SDN can save mobile
operators more than $4 billion in
capital expenses for their backhaul networks by the year 2017.
Tellabs will discuss plans to incorporate SDN functionality into
the Tellabs 8000 Intelligent Network Manager, Tellabs 8600 Smart
Router and Tellabs 7100 Optical Transport System, in early
2014.
