Tellabs Introduces 6335 Switch Node

Pushing the common but important message that service providers are getting hit with a lot of traffic they need to support, but within the confines of limited budgets, Tellabs Inc. (TLAB) today unveiled the 6335 Switch Node, which addresses both mobile and fixed networks.

The Tellabs 6335 node is a compact multiservice provisioning platform (MSPP) that evolved from the Tellabs 6325 Edge Node, with which it shares common modules. However, the new 6335 has more slots, which Tellabs said results in better capital and operational expense savings versus stacking multiple nodes.

In addition to its MSPP, the 6335 is a WDM transport solution (supporting 16 wavelengths), meaning operators can mix MSPP and WDM functionality in a single shelf as needed.

The product is slated for general availability in the first quarter of 2009.
