“Tellabs’ experience and footprint spreads throughout the
CEE region. As our solutions portfolio allows operators to cost efficiently migrate their networks to the highest standard, our dedicated local team has been able to assist major operators such as T-Mobile, Orange and Vodafone affiliates”

Istvan Konczol Sales Director Eastern Europe

Tellabs in Central and Eastern Europe

Tellabs has a considerable installed base in the Central and Eastern Europe region, including Tellabs managed access and transport technologies, working with service providers such as T-Mobile, Orange, Vodafone, Telenor, and KPN affiliates. Tellabs has dedicated offices in countries across the region, which are managed by local experts. The EMEA headquarter is in the United Kingdom.
The Central and Eastern Europe telecoms markets are undergoing significant change with drivers coalescing from all directions: market liberalisation, technological innovation, borderless competition and foreign capital injection. Tellabs’ experience and footprint spreads throughout the region and we have seen how the telecoms environment in CEE has been transformed from flat growth, zero competition to a competitive, innovative growth market leading the way in broadband uptake.
The challenge operators in the region face, is building an infrastructure to support the interest in new telecoms services such as broadband, VoIP and IP VPNs and 3G. In some circumstances, carriers will need a bridge to the future, a carefully planned migration from old to new, where sunk investment can be capitalised upon. In others, where operators are not confined to installed infrastructure as many of their Western counterparts did, a leapfrog to an all-IP environment may well be warranted. In either case, Tellabs is ideally positioned to support local operators.
When carriers move to an all IP-based network with high speed broadband access to all customers Tellabs supports them with MPLS based data solutions, which include the Tellabs® MultiservicePlusSM solution and Tellabs® AssuredEthernetSM solution.
In the wireless arena Tellabs believes that Europe will lead the way in next-generation mobile strategies. Again Tellabs is well positioned as its expertise is in carrier class transport solutions, which work for both fixed and wireless. Tellabs® IntegratedMobileSM solution offers carriers a comprehensive portfolio of mobile solutions.
In the longer term, as the service providers look towards increased use of bandwidth and the deployment of fibre access, Tellabs believes that it is strongly positioned to capitalise on this emerging market with dedicated solutions.
