PARIS - Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) today announced that,
according to data from Dell’Oro, it has considerably strengthened its
quarterly, year-over-year market position in the Service Provider Edge Router
market segment. Dell’Oro data shows that in the second half of 2008,
Alcatel-Lucent continued to grow in the edge router segment - gaining more
than three percentage points to reach 17.6 percent market share - while the
other top-three vendors either dropped significantly or were flat.
Alcatel-Lucent continued its momentum in the service provider market with
record revenues and strong demand for third generation IP/MPLS service
routers. This demand was driven by growth in consumer IPTV and Internet
services, increased Internet traffic - particularly video - evolution of
mobile core and backhaul networks to IP, and an expanding market for Ethernet
and IP VPN services.
“Alcatel-Lucent recorded the largest revenue share gains in the Service
Provider Edge Router market during 4Q08,” states the Dell’Oro Group Routers
Report 4Q08. “The company recorded record revenue for Service Provider Edge
Routers for the third consecutive quarter with especially strong sales in the
EMEA region.”
“Alcatel-Lucent’s award winning FP2 silicon and multi-service
capabilities differentiates our Service Provider IP/MPLS routing portfolio
from other vendors and positions us very well as the market evolves to 40 and
100 gigabit Ethernet,” said Basil Alwan, President of Alcatel-Lucent’s IP
activities. “With CAPEX being more focused on networks capable of supporting
multiple revenue-generating services during this time of economic
uncertainty, Alcatel-Lucent’s IP/MPLS service routing portfolio and the
company’s clear vision and strategy is well matched to operators’
requirements.”
The results reflect Alcatel-Lucent’s growing customer base and market
adoption of its expanding IP/MPLS portfolio, which has set the industry
standard for scalability, quality of service, and high availability. More
than 260 service providers in more than 100 countries have selected the
Alcatel-Lucent IP/MPLS portfolio.
