France Telecom trialing Lucent Technologies' CDMA wireless system in Guadeloupe FOR RELEASE: THURSDAY MAY 28, 1998 GUADELOUPE, FRENCH WEST INDIES - France Telecom (FT) has selected Lucent Technologies for FT's first trial of cdmaOneT wireless networking. This trial is taking place on the island of Guadeloupe and involves 500 users, all of whom are FT employees. The trial, which started in January 1998 with technical tests, will last approximately one year. Lucent deployed its AUTOPLEXT 1000, with Series II and minicell sites, digital cellular switch with executive cellular processor, inter-processor message switch ring, and operation and maintenance platform. "Lucent Technologies is proud to have the opportunity to demonstrate its CDMA technology to France Telecom, with whom we already enjoy a very long standing relationship," said Michel Rouilleault, vice president of Lucent Technologies, France. "As a provider of all the leading wireless air interface standards -- such as GSM, CDMA, TDMA and DECT -- Lucent offers the choice of technology that will best work for its customers." CdmaOne, is a name created by the CDMA Development Group -- a U.S.-based non-profit association of cdmaOne carriers, equipment manufacturers and other representatives - and is a digital wireless technology based on the IS-95 air interface. This technology allows improved use of the spectrum, while providing call quality that is comparable to land line service. Lucent is an industry leader in CDMA technology, with more than 100 CDMA networks in commercial operation or under construction worldwide. The launch of the Guadeloupe trial network has been achieved thanks to the cooperation between the teams of Lucent Technologies and FT (including FT/ Centre National d'Etudes des Telecommunications, FT/Direction Regionale Guadeloupe, FT/France Caraibes Mobiles, and France Telecom Mobiles). Lucent Technologies has won major contracts to build CDMA networks in countries such as Mexico, Puerto Rico, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and Korea. In North America, Lucent is a leading provider of CDMA infrastructure equipment for the largest PCS network providers - PrimeCo Personal Communications, Sprint PCS and others -- and for cellular carriers such as GTE, AirTouch and Bell Atlantic Mobile. Lucent Technologies designs, builds and delivers a wide range of public and private networks, communications systems and software, data networking systems, business telephone systems and microelectronics components. Bell Laboratories is the research and development arm for the company. For more information on Lucent Technologies, headquartered in Murray Hill, N.J., U.S., visit its website at lucent.com.

jim, this is starting to make a little more sense to me now. You're suspecting that the road to Paris starts in Guadeloupe, i.e., that the CDMA camel's nose is under the tent? Well France Telecom and Lucent have nice rings to their names and if this is how the Mighty Q needs to sneak in the back door of Europe, it's okay by me. Have a good one. Mike Doyle
