PARIS, December 12 /PRNewswire/ --

- More Than 150 Million Cumulative Lines Shipped

Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris: ALU and NYSE: ALU) today announced that
according to industry analyst firm Dell'Oro, it continues to lead the
broadband access market with a DSL market share of 40% in the third quarter
of 2007. Alcatel-Lucent also remains number one in the IP DSLAM market.

With a total of more than 150 million DSL lines shipped, Alcatel-Lucent
now has a cumulative market share of 41%, more than triple that of its
nearest competitor. According to Dell'Oro, the company also maintains its
leading position in IP DSLAM shipments due to the accelerated pace of global
acceptance of the ISAM platform.

Alcatel-Lucent reported a solid third quarter with 8 million DSL lines
shipped, (24.9 million lines delivered year to date), up 19% year over year.
These results were supported by new installations of the ISAM by traditional
and alternate service providers in established as well as high growth
markets.

With more than 180 customers having deployed the ISAM product portfolio
(including 80% of the world's top 20 DSL service providers) Alcatel-Lucent
continues to be the undisputed leader of the DSL market. Alcatel-Lucent
brings its customers the strongest product portfolio in all access segments,
continuous investment in innovation and technology, business consultancy
programs, and unparalleled experience in supporting large, complex end-to-end
deployments.
