Alcatel is already providing the consumer market with advanced applications like Triple Play and mobile TV. We are now introducing evolution of IPTV, moving to HD-IPTV. Corporate enterprises, however, can also ride on the user-centric trends with applications, like VPN, web collaboration, and video conferencing and advanced managed communication services, so as to be in control whenever or wherever their business takes them. Together with the IMS Multimedia converged applications, a presence management based, common to fixed and mobile networks, it further helps pave way for fixed or mobile operators towards new revenue streams.

Alcatel has developed a successful track record in network and services integration and has what it takes to help service providers transform themselves in triple play, convergence, and managed communications services.

With the increasing market demand for delivering a compelling combination of voice, video and data over access networks, high service quality, reliability, security and stable connections are of high importance to service providers. Alcatel, the world leader in broadband access, has flexible solutions for service providers addressing these critical elements for customer retention as well as acquisitions.

What's more, Alcatel is the only company in the market rendering a combined approach on both broadband wireline access and wireless access, such as what we called "Universal WiMax," covering fixed and mobile applications. It addresses both the mature markets which progress into broadband mobility and the emerging markets which require simple, easy to deploy wireless broadband access solutions to complement ADSL deployments.

Network transformation is about achieving IP core with QoS and IP multi-access, enabling service providers to accomplish radical cost efficiencies, services agility, differentiation and network optimization. Best-effort IP will no longer live up to the expectations of the future. An IP core with QoS is critical for tomorrow's network delivering multimedia services. Alcatel has the best-in-class, proven core and edge transport and routing solutions to help service providers achieve QoS over IP networks.

At Alcatel, we aim to help service provider to transform and architect a reliable, secure, scalable, and cost-effective broadband IP network, a profit-enabling network that does what it needs to do, on time. What's more, it helps accelerate time to market for new services and cost-reduction.
