Tellabs to exhibit at Rocky Mountain Cyberspace Symposium

Tellabs said it would exhibit at the Rocky Mountain Cyberspace Symposium 2026, scheduled for Feb. 2–5 at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, and it planned to preview a major body of work aimed at government and defense networks.

The event was hosted by the Rocky Mountain Chapter of AFCEA and carried the theme “Dominance Through Disruption: Emerging Tech and the Cyber Enterprise,” which the organizers presented as reflecting a need for secure, resilient, and adaptive networks to support national defense missions; the symposium also reported contributions of more than $500,000 annually toward scholarships, grants, and STEM education programs.

Tentative content described by Tellabs included demonstrations and discussions around Optical Networking, Passive Optical Networking, and Tellabs Optical Local Area Network (LAN), with references to alignment between Passive Optical Networking and Zero Trust principles and to relevant security certifications and the DoD Digital Modernization Strategy.

The company planned to staff Booth 140 for live demonstrations, direct discussions between attendees and Tellabs experts, and sessions intended to explore network modernization, cyber resilience, and operational efficiency across mission-critical infrastructures and base modernization in government and defense environments.

“RMCS plays an important role in bringing together the cyber and defense community around shared challenges and solutions,” said Heidi Feltz, Director of Marketing, Tellabs.

Tellabs said it would launch a major body of work at the show and invited attendees and media to visit Booth 140 to learn about its optical networking solutions for government and defense networks.
