Evolium SAS will offer the most advanced Software & Know-how to 3G/UMTS customers

date: May 24, 2002

Evolium SAS, the joint venture between Alcatel and Fujitsu, announced the signature of two license agreements with the Japanese giant NTT DoCoMo concerning Patents & Know-How and Software.

The Evolium SAS joint venture that has established a clear technology leadership in UMTS radio-access will benefit from the Software and the technology developed by NTT DoCoMo for its UMTS commercial network, which has been in service in Japan since May 2001, through a users license.

Evolium SAS's engineers have been providing the adaptations required by the evolutions of the 3GPP standards and by its customers' specific requirements. The combination of the NTT DoCoMo technology and Evolium SAS work results in the most advanced Radio Access UMTS products currently implemented, delivering a commercial software release with the highest level of compliance. In addition, all interoperability tests have been performed between the Evolium UTRAN (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network) and Alcatel's core circuit & packet network.

"Being able to bring together NTT DoCoMo's know-how and experience is a key asset for Evolium SAS and its customers. Evolium is also glad to have come to an agreement with NTT DoCoMo on the use of its essential UMTS patents; this makes Evolium SAS the first major supplier allowed to develop, manufacture and commercialise the equipment for the deployment of 3G/UMTS networks nation-wide" declared Martin Jordy, CEO of Evolium SAS.

Hiroaki Takeichi Fujitsu Limited Board Member and Group President, Network Systems Group, commented: "Through Evolium SAS, and thanks to this licensing agreement with NTT DoCoMo, both Fujitsu and Alcatel can continue to enhance our leading-edge expertise and business opportunities in 3G mobile applications and services in partnership with mobile operators throughout the world."

Marc Rouanne, president of Alcatel's Mobile Networks activities added: "The quality of the FOMA services has really impressed all those who have gone to Japan, personally experiencing the thrill on location. Reminiscing the early days of GSM for example, we promote a phased approach towards UMTS and to be fair, nothing today can replace the field-experience of NTT DoCoMo. Having access to this know-how through Evolium SAS, helps us to understand the value of NTT DoCoMo's achievements"
