Introducing The World's Smallest Optical Network Terminal With Power Over Ethernet, Advancing Optical LAN Technology For Enterprises

NAPERVILLE, Ill., Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As enterprises and government agencies seek innovative ways to lower IT costs, they're choosing Optical LANs to deliver voice, data and video to workplaces.

Now, Tellabs is introducing the world's smallest enterprise ONTs. The new Tellabs ^® 100 Series Mini Optical Network Terminals fit anywhere – mounting in a standard wall outlet or cubicle raceway. [Editor's note: A photo of the Tellabs 100 Mini ONT is available here.]

Out of sight

Purpose-built for enterprise networks, Tellabs new Mini ONTs:

• Reduce cabling requirements and exposure to damage or theft, with no ONTs sitting on or under desks
• Minimize the need for space in the communication closet
• Eliminate fiber jumpers and desk/wall mounts
• Require no power or battery back-up at the desktop, since they're remotely powered from the communications closet
• Lower deployment costs.

A single fiber provides voice, video and data services. The solution delivers Tellabs All-Secure PON™ for high security, with the fiber terminated in the wall outlet.

Small, but powerful

"Tellabs Optical LAN saves government and enterprise customers money, energy and space. The new Tellabs Mini ONT makes Optical LAN even better because it fits in your hand, yet offers cutting-edge enterprise ONT features," said Dan Kelly, acting president and CEO of Tellabs. "Our new Mini ONTs install in a wall outlet, which enterprises are used to. Still, they deliver all the cost, efficiency and security advantages of Optical LAN."

The Tellabs 122W ONT installs in office walls using a standard single gang form-factor. It provides two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with Power-over-Ethernet to the user.

The Tellabs 122C ONT installs in standard cubicle raceways with the same interfaces and feature set as the Tellabs 122W ONT.

The first Tellabs 100 Series Mini ONTs are scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2012. The new Tellabs 100 Series Mini ONTs will be generally available in early 2013.
