Paris -- Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) has been
selected by Vodafone Spain, the Spanish subsidiary of the world's
leading mobile communications company, to provide the DSL technology
solution that will optimize the transport of its mobile data services
in Spain.
Alcatel-Lucent will deploy its cost-effective IP-based backhaul
solution in the cities of Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Bilbao,
Zaragoza, Valladolid and Malaga.
Alcatel-Lucent's solution will also maintain the bandwidth and speed of
Vodafone's 3G/HSPA data services.
Alcatel-Lucent will provide Vodafone Spain with an innovative IP
DSLAM-based backhaul solution, leveraging the economics of Ethernet and
service awareness of IP. Leveraging its capabilities as an end-to-end
network integrator, Alcatel-Lucent will supply the implementation
services including network deployment, testing and integration of the
entire DSL backhaul solution.
"This project further reinforces our strategic relationship with
Vodafone. Our vast experience of end-to-end management and integration
of complex IP projects will be key in meeting Vodafone's requirements",
said Frederic Rose, President of Alcatel-Lucent's business in Europe,
Africa and Asia.
"Vodafone will also benefit from the added value of our professional
services for time-to-market launch of new services and helping them to
ensure an even more efficient and reliable service to their mobile
broadband customers."
This project sees Alcatel-Lucent consolidating its position as a key
supplier to Vodafone Spain, delivering technology solutions in its
converged backbone, transport and access networks, as well as providing
critical expertise as a network and application integrator.
Vodafone Spain will deploy Alcatel-Lucent's 7330 Intelligent Services
Access Manager Fiber-to-the-node (ISAM FTTN) solution. The 7330 is a
compact remote IP DSLAM that brings fiber and high bandwidth
availability closer to the user which, in turn, delivers a better
end-user experience.
Alcatel-Lucent remains the uncontested market leader in broadband
access with more than 150 million DSL lines shipped to-date. More than
180 customers have adopted the ISAM product family globally - a figure
