from Alcatel

Paris, August 26, 2002 - Alcatel (Paris: CGEP.PA and NYSE: ALA) has been awarded a contract by Turk Telekom for the deployment of a Internet dial access and Voice over IP (VoIP) network in Turkey. Alcatel's solution will allow Turk Telekom to provide new revenue-generating services in a multimedia environment.

It will also enable them to smoothly migrate towards next generation networks and offer additional services such as click-to-call, Internet call waiting, virtual second line and advanced call forwarding.

This project, which is a premiere in the region, will cover over 100 locations throughout Turkey and will be deployed in four phases. Deliveries for the first phase will start this summer, and are expected to be completed by October 2002.
