ANother ASCEND WIN.10/20 10:22A (CN) (CNCN) AT&T Canada Signs Contract With Lucent Technologies for First Nationwide ATM Switched Virtual Circuit Network Story 1313 (ATTC, METNF, MNC'B-R, MNC'B-T, TEL.B, LU, LUTI-D, I/TLS...) MURRAY HILL, NEW JERSEY-- AT&T Canada to Deploy Lucent's Market-Leading CBX 500(tm) Multiservice ATM Switches Lucent Technologies (NYSE: LU) today announced that it has signed an agreement with AT&T Canada, (TSE/ME: TEL.B and NASDAQ: ATTC) to build the country's first nationwide Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Switched Virtual Circuit (SVC) network using Lucent's leading CBX 500(tm) Multiservice WAN switches. With the new Lucent ATM backbone network, AT&T Canada customers can utilize the circuits to establish network connections on a call-by-call basis to avoid paying for costly unused bandwidth. Customers can also tailor each connection to particular network applications and receive the absolute Quality of Service (QoS) inherent in ATM for applications such as disaster recovery, data vaulting, voice, broadcast video and video conferencing. For example, transporting broadcast video over AT&T Canada's SVC network will ensure a high bandwidth for delivery to the end user and high quality that broadcast video demands without degradation. Lucent's Multiservice switches will enable AT&T Canada to manage and deliver ATM, Frame Relay and IP services from a single ATM core network infrastructure.
