Isnt this a CSCO customer? >>>Monday April 19 6:07 AM ET Lucent To Sell U S West Equipment DENVER, (Reuters) - Telecommunications giant Lucent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:LU - news) Monday said it will sell $300 million in equipment to U S West Inc., under a pact that will help the Baby Bell phone company grow as it adds customers and call volumes. Under the two-year agreement, Lucent will sell switching telecommunications equipment, software, and professional services to Denver-based U S West. U S West will deploy 41 new 5ESS Digital Switches, replacing analog central office switches and software in its network. The switching technology will allow U S West to accommodate greater volumes of voice calls and data transmission as well as facilitate the installation of additional customers lines more quickly. ''We are working with U S West to get them the kind of equipment they need to go forward as they evolve their network, and to deliver world class products and services to U S West customers,'' a Lucent spokeswoman said. All 14 states in U S WEST's territory are expected to benefit from the contract through additional 5ESS software upgrades and potential expansions. The amount of investment in each state will be determined based upon customer need and the business environment. The companies also unveiled a strategic relationship designed to speed communications technology innovations to U S West customers, Lucent said.<<< VM
