Tellabs and NEC Networks & System Integration Corporation (NEC Networks & SI), have signed an agreement for the resale of Tellabs 7100 Packet Optical Transport System into the Japanese marketplace.
Under the agreement, NEC Networks & SI will be the appointed channel partner for the Tellabs 7100 next-generation packet optical transport system, and will provide sales, system integration, and maintenance support throughout Japan.
Tellabs-trained NEC Networks & SI engineers will install the Tellabs 7100 system. The Tellabs 7100 is currently undergoing trials in the network of a key Japanese data center operator, and NEC Networks & SI has also performed their own evaluation tests.
The Tellabs 7100 P-OTS (Packet Optical Transport System), by combining ROADM-based DWDM, SDH, OTN and Ethernet switching functionality on a single platform, optimizes packet transport by reducing the number of nodes per layer, lowers bit cost, and simplifies operational monitoring, with low latency and high reliability. Based on data from companies that are operating the Tellabs 7100 system, customers can expect to save as much as 50% in ongoing operational costs.
