> NGN scope may be understood differently

depending on the context

> In the Mobile context, NGN is two folds:

One is NGN for narrowband service /

access (i.e. 3GPP R4 split architecture)

The other one is NGN for Multimedia

Alcatel / Spatial WirelessT-Mobile US – Press Release

T-Mobile USA selects Alcatel to enhance its national core network

Cannes, February 15, 2005 - Alcatel (Paris: CGEP.PA and NYSE: ALA) today announced that it signed a 3-year agreement with T-Mobile USA Inc., a member of the T-Mobile International group, the mobile telecommunications subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG (NYSE: DT). As part of this new deal, Alcatel will continue to deploy its Alcatel 5020 Spatial Atrium Distributed MSC solution for the upgrade and optimization of the operator's mobile core network. Today, T-Mobile USA has 1 million ports installed, with more than 500,000 ports carrying live traffic across the national next-generation mobile core network, the first in U.S. and one of the first in world. The solution will allow T-Mobile USA to continue to deliver product and service innovation, while reducing its per unit switching costs by enabling network extensions in a flexible manner.

The cornerstone of the Alcatel 5020 Spatial Atrium solution is a cost-effective, multi-standard and highly scalable mobile call server/softswitch that controls distributed media gateways and manages call/session control for voice and data services. It simultaneously supports multiple generations of mobile radio access and transport technologies.

"We are now positioned to quickly provide our customers with new innovative services, while optimizing our switching costs," said Cole Brodman, senior vice president and chief development officer for T-Mobile USA, Inc. "From day one, Alcatel-Spatial successfully stepped up and met our needs by providing us with the ability to migrate our core network to a future-enabled next-generation network."

Alcatel / Spatial Wireless Orange (TAO) Thailand – Press Release

TA Orange awards Alcatel a USD 133 million contract to expand and upgrade its mobile network in Thailand

Paris, February 2, 2005 – Alcatel (Paris: CGEP.PA and NYSE: ALA) today announced that it has signed a USD 133 million contract with TA Orange, a leading mobile operator in Thailand, to expand the operator's current Alcatel-powered GSM/GPRS mobile network and to upgrade it with EDGE and 3G/UMTS. This upgrade provides TA Orange with a clear migration path to 3G. In preparation for this development the operator has already granted Alcatel an exclusive agreement to deploy 3G/UMTS during the 2005 and 2006 timeframe.

In the framework of this contract, Alcatel will also deploy a mobile Next Generation Network (mobile NGN) solution that will cater to the needs of 3.6 million additional users. This will substantially increase TA Orange's capacity to provide new multimedia services to its subscribers with optimized costs in parallel to the extension of the operator's mobile coverage.

Alcatel's Mobile NGN solution is based on an innovative, standards-based mobile switching solution, designed by Spatial Wireless, a company recently acquired by Alcatel. The cornerstone of Alcatel's Mobile NGN solution delivered to TA Orange is Alcatel 5020 Spatial Atrium Softswitch, a multi-standard and field-proven mobile softswitch that controls distributed media gateways and manages call/session control for voice and data services.

In addition, Alcatel will provide TA Orange with its intelligent GPRS Gateway Support Node (iGGSN) solution, a very strategic core network element for the deployment of mobile data services as it allows operators to charge their subscribers according to the type of content they access and to the service value they perceive.

Alcatel / Spatial WirelessCingular 3G – Press Release

Spatial Wireless* selected by Siemens to deploy a voice core solution for 3G UMTS network in the United States

Plano (Texas), February 9, 2005 - Spatial Wireless has been selected by Siemens Communications, Inc., to supply a 3G wireless MSC solution to support Siemens' key customer of 3G UMTS networks in the United States . Spatial Atrium, a next generation wireless distributed mobile switching solution, will enable wireless carriers to realize significant operation and capital expense savings with a common voice core solution simultaneously supporting multiple generations of radio access, services, and core transport technologies.

"By working with Spatial Wireless, Siemens will deliver a comprehensive, integrated solution that is designed to enable Cingular to achieve network efficiencies and lower operating expenses," said Joerg Lippert, vice president and general manager, Mobile Networks, Siemens Communications, Inc.

"Together with our partner Siemens, we are honored to be given the opportunity to work diligently to meet Cingular's goal to be the leading 3G wireless carrier in America." said Pardeep Kohli, Senior Vice President, Alcatel Mobile NGN. "Our relationship with Siemens, in conjunction with their strong portfolio of 3G technologies and services, enables us to provide a market leading solution."


Alcatel / Spatial WirelessSFR 2G/3G – Press Release

SFR selects Alcatel's mobile Next Generation Network solution

Cannes, February 15, 2005 - Alcatel (Paris: CGEP.PA and NYSE: ALA) today announced that it has closed a deal with SFR to trial its mobile Next Generation Network (NGN) solution throughout the operator's 2G/3G mobile networks in France.

Alcatel's solution for SFR is based on an innovative, standards-based mobile switching solution, designed by Spatial Wireless, a company recently acquired by Alcatel. The cornerstone of this solution is the Alcatel 5020 Spatial Atrium Softswitch, a multi-standard and field-proven mobile call server controlling distributed media gateways and managing call/session control for voice and data services.

Alcatel's distributed MSC architecture will answer SFR's needs for increased 2G and 3G capacity. It will also allow the operator to significantly reduce its capital and operating costs of its mobile GSM/GPRS core network. Furthermore, following the commercial launch by SFR of its 3G commercial service, Alcatel's solution will help the operator optimize its costs for its UMTS network expansion, thus ensuring long-term investment protection.

"We decided to test Alcatel equipment as their solution for mobile Next Generation Networks is immediately available and the most advanced and mature today," stated Paul Corbel Chief Technical Officer of SFR. "This solution when validated will allow SFR to significantly reduce our capital and operating costs and to perform network extensions in a flexible and cost-effective manner."


NGN architectureThe key move to a cost effective Core

CAPEX reduction• Cheaper MGW ports versus integrated MSC ports cost• No need for separate the transit switch layer• SS7 over IP roll out will lead to drastic SS7 network cost reduction • Less Transcoders requested thanks to TrFO

OPEX reduction• Operation cost reduction due to less resources (technical support, real

estate,..) required as there will be less MSC sites (a MGW site is much simpler to operate)

• Transport savings due to local switching of local calls (mobile-to-mobile and mobile-to-fixed)

• Transport savings due to long distance call bypass• Operation and transport savings due to introduction of a convergent

voice and data transport network• Transport savings due to lower bandwidth requirements (thanks to

Transcoders located on the edge, silence suppression)
