Business Summary
Alcatel builds next-generation networks, delivering integrated end-to-end voice and data communications solutions to established and new carriers, as well as enterprises and consumers worldwide. The Company conducts these operations through its consolidated subsidiaries and associated companies (collectively, Alcatel). While Alcatel has operations in 130 countries, it has a particularly strong market base in Europe, where it currently generates approximately 60% of its consolidated net sales. In 1998, however, the United States became Alcatel's largest telecom market, and, in 1999, the United States represented approximately 18% of Alcatel's consolidated net sales. In March 1999, Alcatel streamlined the five business segments it established in 1998 (Networking; Transport and Access; Enterprise and Consumer; Telecom Components, and Energy Cables) by transferring certain activities between segments and renaming the Transport and Access segment the Internet and Optics Group.
