CWDM Enhancement Positions Tellabs 7100 for CPE Wavelength Services

Tellabs announced CWDM enhancements that position its Tellabs 7100 optical transport platform as a lower-cost solution for transporting wavelength services to customer premises. The new CWDM capabilities in the Tellabs 7100 system's access multiplexer and data shelves aggregate high-speed data services, such as SONET, Ethernet and storage area network (SAN) links. The platform also offers DWDM capabilities for inter-office transport.
