Tellabs

(NasdaqNM: TLAB)

USA

You don't hear much about this Midwestern telecom gear manufacturer. But the Naperville (Ill.) company is behind a lot of the sexy new services the big-name carriers are rolling out. Since CEO Krish Prabhu took the chief's chair in 2004, he has put together a string of acquisitions that has converted Tellabs from a near afterthought into a real player. He gobbled up Advanced Fiber Communications in November, 2004, and then optical networking startup Vinci Systems in December, 2004, creating a new star in the North American arena. With its customers pushing for newer and faster digital services to handle data, Tellabs stays on the cutting edge by pouring some 18.3% of sales into research and development, among the highest in the industry.
