Tellabs 8800

Extend the life of your Tellabs 8800 system with Carritech’s expert support services—trusted solutions that keep your legacy infrastructure running smoothly and cost-effectively.

About the Tellabs 8800

The Tellabs 8800 Multi-Service Router (MSR) Series is a high-performance, carrier-class edge routing platform designed to support a wide range of voice, data, and video services over both legacy and next-generation networks. It enables seamless interworking between Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3 services, facilitating the convergence of traditional TDM, Frame Relay, ATM, and Ethernet traffic onto a unified MPLS-based infrastructure.

The Tellabs 8800 series is available in three chassis configurations: the 6-slot Tellabs 8830, the 15-slot Tellabs 8840, and the 19-slot Tellabs 8860. These platforms offer scalability up to 320 Gbps in a fully redundant, non-blocking architecture, supporting services ranging from N x DS-0 to OC-192c/STM-64 and Ethernet services from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps. The series is designed to deliver carrier-grade reliability and performance, making it suitable for deployment in regional, metropolitan, and core network environments.

At Carritech, we provide comprehensive support for the Tellabs 8800 series, offering fully tested systems, spare modules, and replacement parts to help operators maintain and expand their optical transport networks efficiently. Our expert team assists with deployment, maintenance, and phased upgrades, ensuring your Tellabs 8800 infrastructure remains reliable and future-ready. With a global inventory and fast delivery, Carritech enables seamless continuity of service while supporting the evolving demands of modern telecommunications networks.
