Alcatel to buy Nortel UMTS business for USD 320 million

On 08.15.06, In Mobile, By Editor

Alcatel has agreed to acquire the UMTS network equipment business of Nortel for USD 320 million. The deal gives the French company another 14 UMTS operator customers, as well as Nortel’s UMTS radio access product portfolio and related services, assets and staff. Alcatel estimates that as a result of the takeover it will become third in the market for UMTS, after Ericsson and Nokia. Nortel said the operations lacked the scale to make a profit on a standalone basis, and the company will instead focus more on areas where it can achieve market leadership. Nortel will still work on mobility products, focusing on GSM access and core, GSM-R, GPRS and EDGE as well as CDMA access and core and UMTS core. The companies expect to close the deal in the fourth quarter.
