We will reduce our expenses, which will affect about 300 people during 2013.
“Going forward, we will enhance Tellabs’ solutions with innovations to help our customers succeed. We will demonstrate new software-defined networking (SDN) and self-optimizing networks (SON) capabilities at Mobile World Congress in February.”

- The Tellabs 9200 is an advanced edge router featuring up to 11.2 Tbps capacity per chassis. It leverages a "SmartCard" architecture where the service intelligence is placed on each interface card, providing fine grained visibility and DPI-based traffic management on the card, instead of requiring separate Ethernet cards, Mobile Packet Core cards and DPI cards in each chassis.
