Heinz selects Cable & Wireless to deliver European-wide communications
network

Nov 14, 2001 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) -- The UK-based telecomms company
Cable & Wireless Plc has won a contract to supply a pan-European communications
network to the US food supplier H J Heinz.

Under the five-year agreement Cable & Wireless will provide an Internet
protocol-based infrastructure that will deliver the majority of Heinz's data and
voice communications over a single network to the company's 34 offices
throughout Europe. Cable & Wireless will use Cisco Systems' routers and other
equipment for the infrastructure.

Cable & Wireless has already implemented voice over IP telephony and IP local
area networks at three UK sites, including Heinz's European headquarters in
London. In the next phase the network will be rolled out to Heinz's other sites
in the UK and in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg while the company's
sites in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece will be incorporated by the end of
2002.

The value of the contract was not disclosed.
