Tellabs, a telecommunications network provider, has announced that the company’s 1000 Multiservice Access Platform (MSAP) offers an innovative solution to help service providers to provide Ethernet and IP access in a very cost-efficient manner.

 

Rich Schroder, vice president and general manager, at Tellabs (News - Alert), said that the, company’s access innovations enable them to help customers succeed as they upgrade to broadband services for underserved areas and also uniquely enables profitable legacy services to co-exist with new Ethernet and IP services on the same cost-efficient access platform.

 

Tellabs 1000 MSAP eliminates box-on-box, non-carrier-class solutions and integrates new services with simple software and service card upgrades. And with the user-friendly and reliable Tellabs Panorama Integrated Network Manager, remote provisioning and trouble-shooting can help reduce operating expenses, says the company.

 

The power and versatility of the Tellabs 1000 MSAP supports IP/Ethernet while leveraging revenue generating legacy network. Service providers can now offer faster DSL, mobile backhaul and business services without sacrificing carrier-class reliability and redundancy and also reduce power consumption by 70 percent compared with overlay solutions, according to the company.

 

The company has installed 84,000 Tellabs 1000 Remote Subscriber Terminals (RSTs) in North America, which is helpful to service providers to provide an instant "shovel-ready" solution.

 

The upgrade does not require infrastructure changes, eliminating the "rip-and-replace" approach. It enables service providers to continue delivering profitable traditional services as they add next-generation high-speed Ethernet and IP services via an end-to-end Ethernet access platform.

 

Tellabs Solutions helps service providers to deliver high-quality voice, video and data services over wireline and wireless networks around the world.

 

Recently, Sierra Telephone, a service provider in central California, selected Tellabs’s Ethernet services, to migrate to a new IP- and Ethernet-centric network, while supporting existing revenue-generating services and minimizing disruption to current customers, and selected Tellabs to put to rest their network migration challenges.
