date: July 5, 2002

Alcatel officially launched its 3G Reality Centre in Cascais. This unique facility is a live and comprehensive end-to-end network environment dedicated to the development, validation and testing of advanced mobile data applications and services for both 2.5G/GPRS and 3G/UMTSin Portugal.

This 3G Reality Centre will allow the mobile community in Portugal and in Europe to investigate the potential of 3G/UMTSapplications and services. It is intended to foster the development and testing of some of the most exciting next-generation mobile applications and services, such as watching one's football team score its winning goal; finding and booking a hotel; accessing e-mail whilst travelling to business meetings; watching the latest movies previews or playing interactive games with people across the world.

The Cascais 3G Reality Centre represents the one opportunity for the wireless community, more specifically next-generation content suppliers as well as application providers, to test and launch innovative mobile data services.

"The Portuguese mobile market with world "premieres" such as prepaid services in 1995, GPRS in 2000, and with a fast mobile market development is a perfect environment for the successful launch of 3G mobile applications and services in Europe," said Rui Candeias Fernandes, Alcatel Portugal CEO. "Today's announcement represents another major step on the way to successfully roll out 3G services in Portugal."
