Jan 21, 2003 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- MURRAY HILL, NJ and SAN JOSE, Calif.
-- Lucent Technologies (NYSE: LU) and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO) today
announced that Lucent will integrate and resell select Cisco packet data and
media gateway products as part of Lucent's mobile networking product offer for
the mobile service provider market.
The multi-year, non-exclusive agreement between Cisco and Lucent will enhance
and accelerate Lucent's ability to bring best-in-class, end-to-end mobile data
networking solutions to wireless operators worldwide, while allowing Cisco's
best-in-breed packet data and media gateway products to reach a broader segment
of the market.
Under this global supply agreement, Lucent will integrate and resell the
following Cisco packet data and media gateway products:
* Cisco Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN), which enables CDMA2000 operators to
provide mobile data access to the Internet, as well as corporate intranets and
extranets.
* Cisco Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN), which enables GSM and UMTS operators
to optimize their networks to deploy high-quality mobile voice and data
services.
* Cisco MGX8000 Media Gateway and ATM aggregation products, which allow mobile
operators to provision voice-over-IP (VoIP) and voice-over-ATM (VoATM) service
on their packet core networks.
"We believe the demand for high-speed mobile data and low-cost packet-based
voice services, particularly in the business market, is the next big growth area
for wireless service providers," said Cindy Christy, chief operating officer for
Lucent's Mobility Solutions Group. "As a result of this agreement, we'll be able
to leverage our unmatched expertise in mobile communications and Cisco's
world-leading expertise in IP networking so our customers can begin to take
advantage of explosive demand immediately."
"We're pleased to work with Lucent, a leader in the development of mobile
networks, to help speed the introduction of high-speed data, voice and video
services to the wireless world," said Dan Scheinman, senior vice president,
Corporate Development for Cisco. "The combination of these Cisco packet data and
media gateway products with Lucent's mobile wireless infrastructure solutions
will help mobile operators deliver profitable, new mobile services and reduce
operating expenses as they introduce IP into their mobile networks." Lucent
Worldwide Services (LWS), in cooperation with Cisco, will provide a full suite
of services including deployment (installation), engineering, support and
maintenance for the products covered under the agreement.
Cisco's Customer Advocacy organization will be providing support to Lucent so
that together, end customers will receive the highest levels of support. In
addition, Lucent will offer consulting and network design services and will be
qualified as a global systems integrator for Cisco as a result of this
agreement.
Lucent's Mobility Solutions Group is the global leader in spread-spectrum
technology - the basis of 3G CDMA2000 and UMTS. To date, Lucent has deployed
more than 70,000 CDMA base stations in commercial networks around the globe,
more than 35,000 of which support 3G CDMA2000 1X service.
Lucent has supported the launch of commercial 3G networks with mobile operators
on the continents of North and South America, Asia, and Europe and in the
Australia-New Zealand region.
As the leading provider of Internet Protocol (IP) networking technology, Cisco
is playing a key role in helping mobile wireless operators integrate packet data
and media gateway technology into their networks, which will enable them to
offer new, revenue-generating services. Cisco supplies mobile wireless operators
