TELLABS ANNOUNCES INTEGRATED MARTISDXXR AND FOCUSTM SOLUTION Integrated Solution Provides Access and Transport Network Management Tools from Single Desktop Lisle, Ill. - Tellabs today announced a solution that integrates the MartisDXX Manager and FOCUS NM2100 network management systems. MartisDXX/FOCUS Connector provides an integrated management solution that enables service providers to operate the full set of MartisDXX managed access and FOCUS SDH and DWDM transport and access network elements from a single network management workstation. This integrated network management approach enables operators to reduce operational costs by optimizing network resources and simplifying network planning. It also provides operators new revenue opportunities, because they can create new and more reliable services through automated provisioning and increased network availability. "We are excited to offer this solution to our existing and new customers for business services and mobile applications," said Brian J. Jackman, president of Global Systems and Technology at Tellabs. "Our integrated management solution is the only one available that combines managed access and managed transport capabilities, which give service providers clear competitive advantages." MartisDXX managed access and FOCUS SDH and DWDM products provide an optimal solution for both access and transport network applications. The two platforms support managed access speeds ranging from 1.2 kilobits per second to 155 megabits per second (STM-1), and transmission speeds up to 2.5 gigabits per second (STM-16) in the backbone. The integrated management solution provides cross-connect network elements with n x 64 kbps or 2 Mbps granularities, enabling operators to efficiently groom traffic and reduce transmission costs. Dynamic capacity allocation in the backbone minimizes the need for a full STM-1 configured from one location to another. Customers currently are testing the solution, which is expected to be commercially available in the second quarter of 2000. Tellabs designs, manufactures, markets and services data, voice and video transport, switching/routing and network access systems. The company's products are used worldwide by the providers of communications services. Tellabs stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (TLAB).
