I wouldn't characterize DSC Communications as a data networking company.

They make the switches and systems that allow data networking products to work better and faster, such as Signaling Transfer Points (STP) switches used in SS7 networks. This gets confusing because SS7 networks are essentially data networks for moving information more efficiently while setting up calls in the PSTN, among other things. DSC also has some of the leading fiber digital loop carrier equipment in the industry which Alcatel does not have. This explains the article's "strong position in access and switching".

But this is not what is typically considered data networking in the data communications community. So Alcatel would still need a true connection with a data networking outfit to make a well rounded offering in the data world.
