TOKYO, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tellabs, a leading vendor of optical networking solutions, and NEC Networks & System Integration Corporation (NEC Networks & SI), a leading Japanese network systems integrator, have signed an agreement for the resale of Tellabs® 7100 Packet Optical Transport System into the Japanese marketplace.

Under the agreement, NEC Networks & SI will be the appointed channel partner for the Tellabs 7100 next-generation packet optical transport system, and will provide sales, system integration, and maintenance support throughout Japan.
