Alcatel-Lucent and SHD, a joint venture between SFR and Neuf Cegetel  
July 2007   

Alcatel-Lucent and SHD, a corporate joint venture between SFR and Neuf Cegetel, today announced they had signed a two-year contract for the supply and installation of the first next-generation WiMAX network in France, using standard 802.16e-2005.

Alcatel-Lucent will equip the planned sites of SHD’s WiMAX network in the Ile-de-France (IDF) and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA) regions by mid-2009. The first sites are already operational in the Paris region due to a pilot network deployed at the end of 2006 and will be operational in the PACA region this summer, thanks to the second pilot network deployed by SHD and Alcatel-Lucent.

Based on the latest standard IEEE 802.16e-2005, the new radio network will use the 3.4 – 3.6 GHz frequency band. It will enable professional and residential subscribers alike to connect to broadband Internet in fixed and nomadic environments in areas with little or no DSL coverage. Alcatel-Lucent will provide its complete next-generation WiMAX solution so that SHD’s WiMAX network will benefit from one of the most advanced technologies in terms of radio frequency management.

Alcatel-Lucent will also qualify advanced WiMAX terminals complying with standard IEEE 802.16e-2005, aided by one of the world’s leading suppliers.

About SHD

SHD, Société du Haut Débit, is a corporate joint venture held by SFR (66%) and Neuf Cegetel (34%), and partnered by the Group Groupe CANAL+. In July 2006 SHD received licenses to use WiMAX radio local loop frequencies in the Ile-de-France and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur regions. Its missions are to deploy and operate a WiMAX network in these two regions and propose wholesale offerings to the operators for the ultimate benefit of private and corporate subscribers.
