Alcatel in Internet access alliance with Ascend PARIS (Reuters) - Alcatel of France and Ascend of the U.S. Thursday said they had formed an alliance through which the two companies will develop next-generation Internet access solutions. The multi-year agreement signficantly extends an existing relationship between the two companies to develop new networking products as well as substantially expanding the two companies' distribution arrangement. The products, to be developed in the alliance, include an IP Service Access gateway based on Ascend's next generation IP-forwarding technology and Alcatel's networking software that can be deployed in conjunction with Alcatel's ADSL systems throughout the world. ADSL - Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line - allows high capacity over existing lines. ###
