LEXINGTON, KY. (September 16): After two big days in a row for IFG (welcome days after a relatively poor year to date), the model had another solid day today as seven of the ten stocks posted gains.

On Friday, Tellabs posted a monster move of nearly $6 a share on what appeared to be a no-news day, but indeed today, news crossed the wires that Tellabs has landed a substantial deal with BellSouth Cellular Corp.

Tellabs, a telecom equipment maker, will supply its 2551CVX T1 echo canceller for BellSouth Cellular's digital cellular systems and its service area of more than 200 cities (in 15 states). Here's the rest of the details from the news wire release:

"We are pleased to be serving BellSouth Cellular and its four million customers," said Jon C. Grimes, vice president of the Tellabs Network Access Systems Division. "The selection of Tellabs speaks to the regard the telecommunications industry has for our echo cancellers and their ability to improve call performance."

The 2551CVX T1 echo canceller was developed by Tellabs for use by TDMA, CDMA and PC1900 cellular service providers who must ensure that their digital subscribers enjoy echo-free service on both mobile-to-mobile and mobile-to-land telephone calls.

In addition to an extensive standard feature set, the 2551CVX T1 echo canceller incorporates CLEARCALL ALC (Automatic Level Compensation), the industry's first echo canceller-based call enhancement that ensures that both the mobile and landline subscriber can hear one another clearly and without difficulty.

BellSouth Cellular companies provide wireless communications services to more than four million customers in 216 markets owned by BellSouth and its partners in 15 states. BSCC operates as BellSouth Mobility and under the umbrella of American Cellular Communications Corporation (ACC). ACC operates under a variety of names in Alabama, California, Hawaii, Mississippi and Texas and as Cellular One in Illinois, Indiana, Virginia and Wisconsin.
