Completel, which delivers Fiber To The Office (FTTO) services in France, will deploy Alcatel-Lucent's 100G optical technology on new and existing routes to boost network capacity and performance.

Alcatel-Lucent will also provide Completel with technical supervision and training services.



"With the popularity of videoconferencing, enterprise customers expect that the solutions offered can bring greater quality, speed and reliability," said Thierry Podolak, chief executive officer for Completel. "Alcatel-Lucent's 100G solution will help us keep our leading position in France's Very high-speed market and meet our customers' growing demands."http://www.alcatel-lucent.com http://www.completel.fr
