Tellabs Opens Mobile Internet R&D Office in Canada

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As people buy more and more smartphones and tablets, mobile Internet usage is mushrooming. Wireless networks are struggling to keep up with the growth in mobile data traffic.

To help mobile providers address this challenge successfully, Tellabs is adding key technology, intellectual property and IP (Internet Protocol) expertise from Zeugma Systems Inc., to create a new research and development office in Vancouver.

Former Zeugma personnel will join Tellabs' Vancouver facility to focus on developing Tellabs® Mobile Solutions. Tellabs Mobile Solutions add intelligence to the wireless networks, so service providers can cut costs while delivering better user experiences on the mobile Internet.

"To help our mobile customers succeed, we're adding more IP expertise to enable the smart mobile Internet," said Rob Pullen, president and CEO. "Vancouver offers a unique talent pool that can accelerate our delivery of differentiated solutions to customers. We welcome our new employees to Tellabs."

"We're delighted to complete our agreement and welcome Tellabs to Vancouver," said Andrew Harries, President & CEO, Zeugma Systems Inc. "Our agreement enables Tellabs to utilize significant intellectual property and add to its team of developers focused on mobile Internet solutions."

Terms of the agreement, in which Tellabs acquires substantially all of the assets of Zeugma Systems Inc., were not disclosed for competitive reasons.
