Tellabs said it will exhibit at CoSN 2026, where it plans to demonstrate optical networking capabilities for school network modernization. The company will participate at the conference held April 13 through April 15, 2026, in Chicago.

In its exhibit planning, Tellabs pointed to requirements for reliable network infrastructure as school districts add digital learning tools, connected devices, and cloud-based services. It said aging network environments face higher demands for connectivity and that districts are seeking reliability, security, and long-term affordability.

Tellabs described its networking approach as powered by Passive Optical Networking. In its exhibit materials, the company said it would show how optical networking supports modernization of infrastructure and daily connectivity for classroom devices, instructional software, communications systems, and campus security systems.

Tellabs said it will be located at Kiosk 50 and that attendees can meet with its education networking specialists to discuss real-world school district use cases. The company also said it will highlight educational resources that include a case study on network modernization at Fostoria City School District, a blog post on infrastructure priorities, and a solutions summary covering next-generation networking for K–12 schools. “There is real energy at CoSN each year, because the people in that room genuinely care about giving students and educators the tools they need to succeed,” said Heidi Feltz, Director of Marketing at Tellabs. “A school's network is the foundation for everything that happens in a modern classroom. When that foundation is strong, teachers can teach without interruption, students stay connected to the resources they need, and district technology leaders can focus on innovation rather than troubleshooting. We look forward to sharing how optical networking makes that possible.”
