Accelerating delivery of triple play services to meet growing market
demand
Alcatel (Paris: CGEP.PA and
NYSE: ALA) today announced the launch of its IPTV (Internet Protocal-based
Television) Solution Center for the Asia Pacific region in Shanghai,
China. Managed by a dedicated team of IPTV experts, the center also
brings first-hand triple play (voice, data and multimedia service
bundle) experience to Alcatel's telecom operator customers. The Center
is managed by, and located inside the premises of, Alcatel Shanghai
Bell, Alcatel's flagship company in China.
With the establishment of the Center, Alcatel will be more strongly
positioned to support telecom operators across the region to deliver
triple play services. With Alcatel's proven integration capabilities,
the Center designs tailored IPTV solutions that fit the individual
requirements of operators in different aspects, from service creation
and delivery platform, content management, network access to
terminals. The new Center also provides comprehensive technical
support and consulting services to assist operators in every stage of
new service development.

In addition, the Center is equipped with live demonstrations of triple
play services such as broadcast TV, video on demand, network personal
video recorder and videoconferencing. Operators are therefore able to
understand more about different triple play services in order to help
their business planning and modeling.
"The establishment of Alcatel's IPTV Solution Center brings end users
a step closer to the user-centric broadband world. As Asian users
become increasingly sophisticated, triple play is seeing huge growth
potential, especially in China," said Michel Rahier, in charge of
Alcatel's fixed communications activities. "To date, Alcatel has
helped more than 20 telecom operators deliver IPTV services. Our
end-to-end solution, strong integration capability and extensive
experience make us an ideal partner in the triple play business."
