Lucent will install 96,000 new ADSL ports for Telefonica's network in Brazil. With the implementation of the new ADSL ports, Lucent increases its share by 50 percent in Telefonica's broadband access concentrators - the company already has an installed base of 190,000 Lucent ports. As part of the agreement, Lucent will update the operator's network management software. Financial terms were not disclosed.
