Objet: [FRnOG] neuf telecom et Cisco vs Huawei

Question pour les initites, lors du TVoDSL forum qui se deroule en ce moment
a Paris, Cisco a annonce que neuf telecom va deployer tout un tas de
material pour renforcer leur reseau afin de continuer un deploiement rapide
de leur offre triple play.

Selon les infos dont je dispose, une grande partie etait base sur du
materiel Huawei, donc l'annonce de presse de Cisco m'intrigue. Est-ce que
neuf telecom a eu tellement de problemes avec l'infrastructure Huawei qu'ils
ont decide de la remplacer ou du moins de ne pas continuer a la deployer? Ou
est ce que Cisco leur a fait une offre qu'ils ne pouvaient pas refuser.

Les details de l'annonce de presse ci-dessous.

 neuf telecom Extends Network to 3000 French Cities and Delivers TV over DSL
as Part of New Triple-Play 'Ã la carte' Services with Cisco Next-Generation
Network Technology



TVoDSL Conference, PARIS, France, January 27, 2005 - Cisco Systems announced
today that neuf telecom, one of the leading French fixed telecommunications
carriers in France, has reached a major milestone in delivering high-quality
broadband Internet services throughout France with the deployment of a
multi-service, multimedia network connecting 3000 cities in just 18 months.
neuf telecom is using Cisco technology for the extension and expansion of
its network to support the most ambitious local loop unbundling programme in
Europe and to facilitate the delivery of new triple-play over ADSL services
to neuf telecom's residential customers.

In November 2004, the company launched neuf TV, a digital-quality TV over
DSL service offering over 70 channels and will shortly be launching its
very-high-speed broadband ADSL2+ services. neuf telecom has increased its
market share to become the third largest service provider in the residential
market in France and the leading local loop unbundling provider in Europe
with a total of 700,000 ADSL users from its retail and wholesale operations
at the end of 2004.

neuf telecom's strategic focus on delivering high-speed broadband services
and adding value through video services has driven the development of its
network, extensively based on Cisco IP Next-Generation Network (IP NGN)
technology. Cisco's 7600 Series routers, Catalyst 3000 Series switches and
Cisco IOS network infrastructure software are used to provide the Quality of
Service (QoS)-enabled multi-service network, supporting intelligent video
distribution using dynamic multicast, allowing better optimisation of
network infrastructure and fast TV channel surfing time. neuf telecom's
multi-service network also supports IP services for neuf telecom's wholesale
customers including Club Internet (T-Online), TÃlà 2 and La Poste.

"We set out in 2003 to create a fully-owned network that will put us in a
strong competitive situation in the retail and wholesale markets and our
decision to work closely with Cisco has helped us to achieve that," said
FranÃois Paulus, general manager, Network Division for neuf telecom. "The
Cisco-based network gives us the ability to introduce our unique 'Ã la
carte' services, where customers can select from a clearly-priced menu of
services. By simplifying the provisioning of TV services, we keep our Opex
to a minimum and maintain our competitiveness in the consumer market. We can
also offer greater value to our wholesale customers by giving them the
flexibility and performance in the network to deliver their own IP voice and
video services."

neuf telecom reported sales in 2003 of â 992 million. For the first half of
2004, neuf telecom increased its sales to â 564 million, up 24% compared to
the same period in 2003, EBITDA was up 33% to â 60 million and earnings of â
15 million.

"neuf telecom has scaled its residential subscriber base by an impressive
factor with Cisco's Metro DSL aggregation solution, from 100,000 ADSL
subscribers at the end of 2003 to 400,000 residential subscribers for ADSL Ã
la carte services at the end of 2004," said Jean-Christophe Dessange,
Broadband Business Development Manager, Cisco Systems. "neuf has
demonstrated that TV over DSL is very much a commercial reality for
alternative carriers. They are building a strong and profitable business on
a multimedia infrastructure using Cisco Next Generation Network solutions
that are capable of taking video over IP services to the next scale,
supporting further expansion and new service innovation. With a strategy
based on IP for all services, simplicity of management and Ethernet
technology for optimum cost-effectiveness, neuf is showing the way to other
alternative carriers throughout Europe."
