neuf cegetel, the resulting entity of the neuf telecom and Cegetel merger, is currently France's leading alternative operator with its wholly-owned national infrastructure network.   The Company selected Ciena'sCN 4200™ FlexSelect™ Advanced Services Platform for deployment across its metro and regional broadband network in France.

Cegetel had previously deployed Ciena's CoreStream™ Agility for increased capacity and flexibility in its core network to support the adoption of high-capacity services at the network edge. CoreStream mitigated bandwidth obstacles for Cegetel to ease the deployment of high-value services as Cegetel's consumer, enterprise, operator and ISP customers placed increasing demands on the network with broadband applications.
