Arcor Attributes DSL Success in Germany to Lucent Technologies; Lucent AnyMedia Access System Enables Rapid, Scalable Deployment for No. 2 Broadband Service Provider in Germany.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers CeBIT 2003 Hall 27, A16 HANNOVER, GERMANY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 11, 2003 Arcor, the second largest carrier in the German market, is experiencing a boom in demand for high-speed broadband access See broadband and wireless broadband. services. Arcor serves more than 50,000 customers, up from 30,000 at the end of 2002, and the number is growing by several thousand new customers every month. In order to meet private and business customer demand for broadband services, such as Integrated Services Digital Network Integrated services digital network (ISDN) A generic term referring to the integration of communications services transported over digital facilities such as wire pairs, coaxial cables, optical fibers, microwave radio, and satellites. (ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. ) and Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (communications, protocol) Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line - (ADSL, or Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Loop) A form of Digital Subscriber Line in which the bandwidth available for downstream connection is significantly larger then for upstream. (ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ) for residential users and Symmetric High-speed Digital Subscriber Line See DSL. (communications, protocol) Digital Subscriber Line - (DSL, or Digital Subscriber Loop, xDSL - see below) A family of digital telecommunications protocols designed to allow high speed data communication over the existing copper telephone lines between end-users and (SHDSL SHDSL Single-Line High-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line SHDSL Symmetrical High-Density Digital Subscriber Line SHDSL Symmetrical High Bitrate Digital Subscriber Line (Ericsson) SHDSL Symmetrical Highspeed Digital Subscriber Loop ) for business customers. Arcor is deploying the latest access systems from Lucent Technologies. Arcor signed a multi-year framework agreement with Lucent in 2001. More than 1,000 Arcor local exchanges have been equipped with the AnyMedia(R) Access System, an integrated access system that supports both voice and broadband connections. In addition to supplying network infrastructure equipment, Lucent is also delivering ADSL modems to Arcor. "The DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary market is developing in a tremendously dynamic way," said Hartmut Kremling, member of the board at Arcor for Technology. "If you want to reach both private and business customers quickly, you have to be able to rely on your technology partner. At the moment our hardware and software needs are increasing rapidly due to demand, and Lucent is helping us meet that demand by being able to quickly provide us with additional systems." "The current boom in demand for Arcor's DSL service is an excellent opportunity for Lucent to show its expertise in this area," said Hans Huber Hans Huber is the name of:
The AnyMedia(R) Access System is a scalable, high-density, multi-service access vehicle that saves space by combining the worlds of voice and broadband services in one chassis. The AnyMedia(R) Access System has plug-in cards with various connection options that support Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and special services. The integration of voice and broadband services within one system, managed by a single network management system, makes the AnyMedia(R) Access System one of the most flexible and cost-efficient access systems. In the future, new high-speed access technologies and algorithms for data coding and data compression data compression Process of reducing the amount of data needed for storage or transmission of a given piece of information (text, graphics, video, sound, etc.), typically by use of encoding techniques. will enable more new services. "When I think of voice-over DSL or video-over DSL, we have far from exhausted the potential DSL technology offers," Huber said. "With our access systems, we are enabling Arcor to offer its customers attractive service packages today and in the future." Lucent also is providing its Navis(R) AnyMedia(R) Element Management System (EMS) software, which allows a scalable, permanent centralized or regional management point - where the network solution can be easily monitored, provisioned and controlled. The Navis(R) AnyMedia(R) EMS is part of the Navis(R) iOperations Software portfolio of open, standards-based Network and Element Management Systems. The Navis(R) iOperations portfolio is deployed worldwide, supporting provisioning, surveillance and performance management of advanced services across multi-vendor, multi-technology networks. Lucent is exhibiting its industry leading solutions and services in Hall 27 / Stand A16 at CeBIT 2003 in Hannover, Germany from 11-19 March, 2003.
