Lucent Technologies (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : LU) today announced it received the 2004 3G (third-generation) CDMA Industry Achievement Award for Network Technology Innovation. Lucent was presented with the award, which recognized Lucent for its global leadership in the development of 3G CDMA2000(R) standards, last night during a ceremony at the CDMA Americas Congress trade show in Miami. The 3G CDMA Industry Achievement Awards recognize significant contributions by companies and individuals towards the advancement of wireless technology. A selection committee comprised of CDMA Development Group (CDG (CDMA Development Group, Costa Mesa, CA, www.cdg.org) A membership organization founded in 1995 that promotes CDMA wireless systems worldwide. It is involved with developing new features and services and promoting standards that provide global compatibility and interoperability. ) executive officers and leadership council members, as well as representatives from industry associations and the trade media, selected Lucent for this award. Cindy Christy, president of Lucent's Mobility Solutions Group, accepted the award on Lucent's behalf. "We are extremely honored and pleased to be nominated and selected by the CDG and our industry peers for this award," said Christy. "The standards development process is a collaborative industry effort and as the industry leader we commit considerable time and resources toward ensuring CDMA2000 remains a cost-effective technology that provides mobile operators with the most advanced features and an easy migration path to future network enhancements." Lucent holds many elected leadership positions in various standards bodies Following are some of the standards bodies defined in this database.

Organization Covers ANSI U.S. responsible for the development of CDMA2000 standards including chairing three working groups and one technical specification group in 3GPP GPP Government Performance Project GPP General Purpose Processor GPP General Physical Preparedness GPP Gambian People's Party GPP Good Pharmacy Practice GPP Gross Primary Productivity GPP Green Procurement Program GPP Generic Packetized Protocol 2 (3G Partnership Project 2) and chairing a committee and subcommittee for the TIA (1) (Telecommunications Industry Association, Arlington, VA, www.tiaonline.org) A membership organization founded in 1988 that sets telecommunications standards worldwide. It was originally an EIA working group that was spun off and merged with the U.S. (Telecommunications Industry Association See TIA. (body, standard) Telecommunications Industry Association - (TIA) An association that sets standards for communications cabling. Cables that TIA set standards for include: EIA/TIA-568A and EIA/TIA-568B category three, four and five cable. ). The Lucent Mobility standards team makes significant contributions by leveraging their extensive technical expertise, technological innovations, and Bell Labs resources and capabilities in the areas of radio air interfaces, mobility management, networking, data, signaling, transport protocols, circuit and packet switching A network technology that breaks up a message into small packets for transmission. Unlike circuit switching, which requires the establishment of a dedicated point-to-point connection, each packet in a packet-switched network contains a destination address. , network architecture, services and security. This team also is instrumental in the standards development process for CDMA2000 1X, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, CDMA2000 1xEV-DV, CDMAPAMR (Public Access Mobile Radio), and CDMA450 technologies. Significant contributions also were made for the mobility management standards of ANSI-41 and Wireless Intelligent Networks (WIN). These efforts rapidly advance the development of CDMA2000 in standards bodies including the 3GPP2, TIA, IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force (Internet Engineering Task Force (c/o Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), Reston, VA, www.ietf.org) Founded in 1986, the IETF is a non-membership, open, voluntary standards organization dedicated to identifying problems and opportunities in IP data networks and proposing technical solutions to the ), the ITU (International Telecommunication Union, Geneva, Switzerland, www.itu.ch) A telecommunications standards body that is under the auspices of the United Nations. Comprising more than 185 member countries, the ITU sets standards for global telecom networks. (International Telecommunications Union See ITU. (body, standard) International Telecommunications Union - (ITU) ITU-T, the telecommunication standardisation sector of ITU, is responsible for making technical recommendations about telephone and data (including fax) communications systems for PTTs and suppliers. ) and many others. "Lucent is the industry leader in CDMA and a recognized thought leader in the CDMA2000 standards development process, helping mold the innovations that will drive the converged networks of tomorrow," said Perry LaForge, executive director of the CDG. "This award acknowledges Lucent for its active role, participation and contributions to CDMA2000 in standards bodies worldwide." As CDMA2000 continues to evolve to support technologies like Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Lucent's contributions to standards and Bell Labs' innovations will continue to play an important role. In April, Technology Review, MIT's magazine of innovation, selected Lucent's patent for improving the quality of service for network traffic such as VoIP as one of its "Five Killer Patents" - the publication's annual list of the five most important patents issued during the previous year. This is another example of Lucent's leadership in helping shape next-generation communications networks. Lucent continues to be an active participant in all of the major standards bodies and related working groups. Lucent is an active, contributing member to nearly 100 standards bodies worldwide, holds many standards leadership positions and generates thousands of standards contributions or submissions. A global leader in the development of commercial 3G spread-spectrum solutions, Lucent's Mobility Solutions Group has deployed CDMA2000, CDMA450, and W-CDMA/UMTS networks with more than 30 mobile operators on the continents of North and South America, Asia, Europe and in the Australia/New Zealand region. Lucent also is collaborating with major UMTS/W-CDMA operators in Asia, Europe and North America on the development of their 3G networks. Lucent has deployed more than 90,000 spread-spectrum base stations for mobile operators worldwide, of which 50,000 are already supporting 3G services. About Lucent Technologies Lucent Technologies designs and delivers the systems, services and software that drive next-generation communications networks. Backed by Bell Labs research and development, Lucent uses its strengths in mobility, optical, software, data and voice networking technologies, as well as services, to create new revenue-generating opportunities for its customers, while enabling them to quickly deploy and better manage their networks.
