PARIS, France and NUUK, Greenland, September 11 /PRNewswire/ --     The Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) cable ship 'Ile de 
Sein'* landed today in Nuuk, the 2,100 km section (or trunk cable) of Tele 
Greenland's submarine cable network. After completing the cable loading in 
Calais (France) in July, the 'Ile de Sein' began laying segments 1 and 2 in 
early August from Landeyjasandur in Iceland to Qaqortoq in Greenland.

Following a route carefully assessed with survey instruments
mapping the seabed, these segments are three of the four sections composing
the 90 million Euro project "Greenland Connect" awarded to Alcatel-Lucent in
December 2007. The laying completion will be achieved before the winter
season as planned.

Offering an ultimate capacity of up to 96x10Gbit/s, the
Greenland Connect submarine cable network has been designed to provide
international and domestic connectivity to meet the growing bandwidth
requirements for new applications to serve Tele Greenland's customers. This
deployment further enhances Tele Greenland's end-to-end offering for voice
and data network hubs, broadband Internet, video conferencing, call centers
and advanced multimedia applications.

"We have addressed the increased connectivity requirements,
while guaranteeing performance continuity at the highest level possible. The
Greenland Connect cable exemplifies our vision 'Greenland in the Center of
the World' to provide Greenland with a place on the worldwide Internet
network, and direct access to American and European markets" said CEO Brian
Buus Pedersen, Tele Greenland. "Alcatel-Lucent has fully met our expectations
and their submarine solutions are strategic to us to provide the technology
platform and reliability our customers require to access cost-effective,
innovative IT-services and, also, new opportunities with great potential in
Greenland such as e-trade, e-education, e-health, e-citizen and e-home."

"The severe weather conditions of Greenland and the North
Atlantic Ocean were key challenges in defining the deployment plan for this
project," affirmed Etienne LafougÚre, President of Alcatel-Lucent's submarine
network activity. "This achievement is based on our ability to manage the
simplest to the most complex turnkey project and to deliver on time."

* The Ile de Sein is owned by Alcatel-Lucent via Alda Marine, a
joint venture with Louis Dreyfus Armateurs.
