NTELOS, an integrated communications provider that operates in the mid-Atlantic region, is deploying the Tellabs 5500 NGX transport switch, the Tellabs 7120 NGX advanced transport node and the Tellabs 5320/L digital cross-connect. The equipment will be used for high-density bandwidth management and grooming. The Tellabs 5500 NGX transport switch is a metro edge device that integrates highly-scalable VT/STS (virtual tributary/synchronous transport signal) and M13 cross-connect technology, SONET transport, and highly-efficient data transport for Ethernet and Internet protocol (IP) traffic. The Tellabs 7120 NGX advanced transport node is an OC-192 next-generation SONET multiplexer that supports STS-1 cross-connect and Ethernet data transport capabilities. The Tellabs 5320/L digital cross-connect provides full non-blocking “any-to-any” connectivity for DS-1, E-1, STS-1e, and DS-3 interfaces and performs DS-0-level bandwidth management. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.tellabs.com

From the Graveyard
You just read about Tellabs. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Advanced Fibre Communications built Digital loop carrier and fiber access systems. What became of it?
Advanced Fibre Communications brought Digital loop carrier and fiber access systems to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Tellabs for US$1.9B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Tellabs today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
