The Acquisition of Motive

Luis MARTINEZ AMAGO

President, Fixed Access Division, Alcatel-Lucent

Hello. My name is Luis Martinez Amago. I am the President of the Fixed Access Division of Alcatel-Lucent. This division covers all fixed access technologies, digital subscriber line (DSL)

GPON. It also hosts the home networking business, the Internet protocol television (IPTV) middleware. Upon completion of the deal, Motive will be integrated in the Fixed Access Division.

First of all, I would like to say that we are extremely excited in Alcatel-Lucent about this acquisition. Together, we are going to lead one of the most interesting areas of growth in our telecom industry. Why is that? With the increase of bandwidth in mobile and fixed networks, new types of services are appearing, with new types of terminals with different levels of complexities, either fixed or mobile, and this represents a new paradigm for our customers, the service providers. Today, they are moving ahead with this complexity, but it is far from being fixed. My opinion is that Motive has demonstrated in the past a really good vision about this segment, developing what it needs in order to manage the complexity of those terminals and the services associated with them. And together with our leadership in different areas of the market, you should know that we are number one in fixed access, DSL, very high speed digital subscriber line VDSL and GPON and that we are moving the focus also the home networking, we are leaders in IPTV and I think that with the combination of your skills and history and portfolio, together with our focus on this, home networking management and service management could be another area of leadership of our combined assets. I think that this represents a challenge – a challenge for our customers – but I believe that we have the right skills and the right portfolio to answer the questions they have.

However, the deal is not done. You know that our forecast is that the deal will be closed by the beginning of Q4. Until then, the message is to keep focused on the running business. We are going to be having meetings with most of you. We are going to have reviews in which we are going to see all the aspects of the business. Together, we are going to define how to integrate activities and how to move forward. We look forward to having these types of discussions and I promise to be with you very soon in Austin, where I will be pleased to take any questions. Some of these, I will be able to answer; some others, I am sure that we are going to find the answers to them. However, the important thing is to focus on the business. I think that this is the key message that I want to pass on and I am sure that we are going to show the market how Alcatel-Lucent, with the Motive assets, will live in this market.

Thank you and I will see you in Austin.
