Frost and Sullivan Ranks Lucent Technologies as the DWDM Market Leader Lucent Introduces New DWDM Solution for Metropolitan Area Networks MURRAY HILL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 22, 1999--Lucent Technologies is the leading provider of Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) systems in the United States according to Frost and Sullivan, a leading market research firm. According to the upcoming report, Lucent has the largest market share - 30 percent - of the $1.6 billion DWDM equipment market. ''Lucent delivers leading-edge DWDM products, and its customers know that Lucent has the products and the expertise to provide the bandwidth and network management that carriers need to meet the rising demand for voice and data services,'' said Erica Henkel, Industry Analyst with Frost and Sullivan. ''Frost and Sullivan's report reaffirms Lucent's position as the leader in DWDM. With innovative solutions that include the WaveStar(tm) OLS 400G, which is our high-capacity 80-channel DWDM system, the WaveStar Bandwidth Manager and the new metro DWDM system we're announcing today, Lucent is helping our customers meet their business needs,'' said Gerry Butters, Group President, Lucent Technologies Optical Networking Group. ''With today's announcement of our WaveStar AllMetro(tm) solution, we offer our customers the most complete DWDM portfolio in the industry.''

The WaveStar AllMetro is the latest addition to Lucent's growing DWDM business. The company has deployed nearly 2,000 DWDM systems to customers worldwide, more than any other vendor.
