-Tellabs data and voice services, signed two new agreements for wired and wireless network services from Verizon. The services will enable Tellabs to better connect with its extended network of customers, partners and employees.

Under the first agreement, Verizon Business designed and deployed a global networking solution incorporating Verizon Private IP, long-distance and Internet services that will link more than 3,500 Tellabs employees at 50 sites worldwide. Under the second agreement, Verizon Wireless will become Tellabs’ preferred provider for wireless services, which will include account management, billing tools, management of devices including BroadbandAccess PC cards, and other applications.

“The availability of Verizon Business’ Private IP service in key global business centers and the reliability of the Verizon Wireless network in the U.S. were critical for us,” said Jean Holley, executive vice president and chief information officer, Tellabs. “We were able to work with Verizon as a total business partner to help mobilize our business across wired and wireless network environments to more effectively communicate with our customers, partners and employees.”

Enabling Tellabs’ Carrier Ethernet Mission Around the World

As a leading provider of Ethernet switching and routing technology, Tellabs wanted to use that technology to link its own network to the global network solution that Verizon Business will deploy for the company. Verizon Business is providing the connection that will help link the two networks. This will also help Tellabs meet the growing demand for Carrier Ethernet services around the globe.
