Harness the Mobile Data Tsunami with Tellabs Smart Internet Breakout Gateway

New 4G technology enables high data performance in 3G networks

NAPERVILLE, Illinois, February 11 - With the onslaught of mobile Internet traffic hitting their networks,
operators need to provide high capacity while keeping costs inline. The new
Tellabs Smart Internet Breakout Gateway offers instant savings by diverting
as much as 70% of Internet-bound traffic from the network core. It offloads
traffic at the network edge before the traffic consumes costly backhaul and
core resources.

"Users want fast mobile data, so operators must prepare their networks
for the mobile Internet tsunami," said Rehan Jalil, senior vice president,
mobile Internet at Tellabs. "Tellabs' Smart Internet Breakout Gateway enables
operators to handle traffic easily while reducing their costs dramatically."

Built for the mobile Internet

Designed for 4G networks, the Tellabs(R) SmartCore(TM) 9100 series
(formerly the WiChorus SmartCore(TM) platform) enables operators to meet the
burgeoning demands of the mobile Internet. The Tellabs Smart Internet
Breakout Gateway provides a huge cost and performance advantage over
traditional products.

Operators can break the Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) bottleneck. One
Tellabs device does the work of up to 16 GGSNs, saving costs and improving
traffic flow. The Tellabs Smart Internet Breakout Gateway turbo charges 3G
networks while opening a smooth migration path to 4G. Operators can transform
the platform into their 4G EPC (Evolved Packet Core) solution when they are
ready to make the transition to LTE.

Built for easy deployment

Operators can deploy the Tellabs Smart Internet Breakout Gateway without
changing their existing packet core. They can simply insert it into current
3G networks, without any configuration changes to RNCs, SGSNs or GGSNs,
providing instant relief to congested networks.

To channel the mobile Internet tsunami, operators seek better control
over their networks. Built-in analytics on the Tellabs Gateway provide
insight into network use. With this insight, service providers can properly
manage their networks, identify bottle necks and prioritize critical traffic.

Major mobile operators are testing the Tellabs Smart Internet Breakout
Gateway now.

Tellabs(R) Mobile Solutions add intelligence to mobile networks,
empowering them to deliver location- and context-aware smart applications and
services for the mobile Internet. The acquisition of WiChorus in 2009 enables
Tellabs to provide a breakthrough mobile packet core technology. This
technology, coupled with Tellabs' mobile backhaul expertise, means Tellabs
can use its IP expertise to dramatically raise the IQ of mobile networks.
