Leading telecom equipment manufacturer
Tellabs Inc.
(
TLAB
) has find a major customer in the form of Vodafone Ireland that
will apply its Insight Analytics Services. A giant telecom
service provider like
Vodafone Group Plc
(
VOD
) will use this analytics service to enrich the customer
experience.
Tellabs uses Software-as-a-service approach to provide
analytics service, which serves large telecom carriers to gain an
insight about the service performance of a particular network
thus making it easy for the operators to analyze the underlying
technology.
Vodafone's Ireland unit is deploying Tellabs Insight Analytics
Service to evaluate the network data contained within its Multi
vendor 3G network. By analyzing the information, the company will
be able to find the root cause of the network related issues and
take necessary actions much more quickly and cost efficiently.
Additionally, it will provide data about the capacity used within
the network thus allowing proficient capacity management.
A record adaptation of smartphone has increased the demand for
wireless Internet, which in turn has fueled the growth of
multimedia services. As people use more of this services they
tend to demand a reliable network. As a result, telecom carriers
invest heavily to develop a network that provides highest
customer experience.
Tellabs recently reported third-quarter result, wherein
revenue missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Winning Vodafone
Ireland is a major boost for the company's service segment, which
also reported an annualized decline in sales.
With the evolvement of communication technology from 3G to 4G
LTE that requires higher bandwidth; it has become increasingly
difficult for the carriers to maintain an astounding network
performance. We believe increasing deployment of LTE around the
globe provides a lucrative opportunity for Tellabs to develop its
analytics business.
We maintain our long-term Neutral recommendation on Tellabs.
Currently, it has a Zacks #3 Rank, implying a short-term Hold
rating on the stock.
