Alcatel Garners Biggest Multiservice WAN Market Share Gain According to Dell'Oro Report Industry-Leading Platforms Enable Alcatel to Outperform Market in 2001 DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2002--Alcatel (NYSE: ALA - news) made the biggest multiservice wide area network (WAN) market share gain in 2001 based on port shipments, according to Dell'Oro Group. Alcatel showed significant momentum in 2001, rising to number-two position in the second half of the year. Of the top three vendors, Alcatel was the only company to increase its market share for the year. Alcatel's multiservice WAN portfolio includes the Alcatel 7670 Routing Switch Platform (RSP), 7470 Multiservice Platform and 7270 Multiservice Concentrator. Highlights of the year included contract announcements with Deutsche Telekom, Telekom Austria, Bell Canada, Guangdong Corporation, and Belgacom, and the launch of Alcatel 7670 RSP Release 2. With this latest release, the Alcatel 7670 RSP outpaces the competition by delivering in-service scalability up to 450 Gb/s in addition to multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) and support of low-speed multiservice data interfaces. ``Our continued commitment to development in this critical multiservice WAN market segment is reflected in our 2001 success,'' said Michel Rahier, president of Alcatel's Broadband Networking Division. ``These results validate our strategy of offering capex-optimized network growth, investment protection via multiprotocol integration, and enhanced delivery of profitable services to carriers worldwide.''
