Alcatel Provides Platform for Record DSL Deployment in Canada
Alcatel reinforced our position as the world leader in Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) solutions with addition of over 100,000
ADSL (Asymmetric DSL) lines to Canadian business and residential customers in just the last six months. During this
same period, Bell Canada, the leading Internet provider in Canada, equipped 280 of its switching centers with the
outstanding Alcatel DSL platform.
The Alcatel ADSL solution facilitates the rapid rate of this deployment and vast availability of broadband access to Bell
Canada's business and residential customers. Bell Canada selected Alcatel as its DSL provider in May of 2000 and will
continue to implement Alcatel's standards-based DSL network platform.
"We are pleased to have been selected to supply Bell Canada's DSL solutions. We at Alcatel look forward to
expanding our partnership with Bell Canada as we strongly support their commitment to supply broadband
access to the vast majority of their customers by the end of 2002."
Hubert de Pesquidoux, president and CEO of Alcatel Canada
