"Following the deployment of a turnkey broadband access network to cover the airports of Paris- Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget, the provision and implementation of our complete IMS solution is a further step for Alcatel-Lucent and Hub télécom", stated Pierre Barnabé, President of Alcatel-Lucent's activities in France, Iberia & Italy. "The transformation of its network will enable Hub télécom to establish itself as a national operator of all-IP services".http://www.alcatel-lucent.comttp://www.hubtelecom.com
