Tellabs provides third-quarter guidance, announces plan to align expenses with revenues

Tellabs expects third-quarter sales to be down about 15% to 25% from its second-quarter sales of $345 million and expects to record a third-quarter loss as a result of lower North America carrier spending. To keep pace with customers’ reduced anticipated spending, Tellabs will reduce its worldwide work force by about 800 people and close a manufacturing facility in Shannon, Ireland.
