Diveo, a service provider in Latin America, and Universo Online (UOL), a Brazilian Internet service provider, have decided to combine themselves and their optical networks into a single entity. The new company, UOLDIVEO, will leverage Tellabs 7100 Nano Optical Transport Systems to merge their existing service offerings onto a single transport system, according to Tellabs (NASDAQ: TLAB).

Cornerstones of the converged infrastructures will include reliability, low latency, high bandwidth, and rapid service provision, according to Tellabs.

"This unique network architecture will enable us to transport more bandwidth-intensive services where and when they are needed," Armando Amaral, engineering and infrastructure director at UOLDIVEO. "The small footprint of the Tellabs 7100 Nano System addresses the limited space requirements while still providing flexible growth and low latency our customers demand."

In addition to the Tellabs 7100 Nano Optical Transport System, UOLDIVEO also will leverage the Tellabs 8000 Intelligent Network Manager. The network manager calculates traffic trends and provides automation to help service providers optimize their networks, Tellabs says.
