  • In June 2003, Telekomunikacja Polska selected Lucent to supply its switching and access solutions for a network upgrade project valued at EUR 15 million. Lucent solutions covered by the agreement will enable TP to replace analog switches to allow network digitalization, ensure full network compatibility with TP's business customers' offices, and provide ISDN services. TP recently awarded a separate extension contract to Lucent for xDSL equipment.
