EADS Defence & Security and Alcatel-Lucent Sign a Strategic Alliance to Provide Advanced Broadband Solutions to the Public Safety Market

Joint Solution, Based on LTE and P25 Mobile Technologies, Initially Targets the U.S. Market With a 700 MHz Spectrum Offering

MURRAY HILL, New York and PARIS, April 19, 2010 - Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) and EADS Defence
& Security today announced they had signed an agreement in principle to
jointly develop and offer a powerful mobile solution designed specifically to
address the public safety market in the United States.

The EADS and Alcatel-Lucent solution, based on the emerging 4G
standard called LTE (Long Term Evolution) and on the public safety Project
25[*] (P25) standards will provide mission-critical communications to state
and local public safety organizations (fire, police and ambulance
departments) through a fully integrated, end-to-end solution based on
advanced, reliable mobile and IP technologies.

The joint solution will greatly enhance interoperable voice,
video and data communications within and between public safety agencies and
help streamline operations, while reducing costs associated with maintaining
multiple non-interoperable networks. EADS Defence & Security will leverage
Alcatel-Lucent's industry-leading expertise in LTE end-to-end solutions to
complement its digital Land Mobile Radio (LMR) offering based on Project 25
(P25) standards, in the dedicated spectrum for public safety communications
in North America. Alcatel Lucent will leverage EADS Defence & Security's
intimacy of first responders worldwide, particularly for critical
applications and terminals.

The two companies initially will define, develop, integrate
and qualify a joint end-to-end solution for the 700 MHz spectrum to meet the
specialized needs of the public safety markets in the United States. The
cooperation may eventually be expanded to worldwide markets and other
frequencies

The two companies will market the joint solution to public
safety players through either their respective existing sales channels or to
and through service providers and systems integrators.

"Communications is becoming the 'oil' that makes other
industries run, providing new levels of efficiency and safety and delivering
new applications and services that were impossible before," said Tom Burns,
president of Alcatel-Lucent's Enterprise activities. "By combining our
best-in-class end-to-end broadband wireless solutions with EADS' public
safety applications and technologies, we will provide first responders and
public safety organizations new powerful communication tools and services."

"We are looking to propose mission-critical systems combining
the strengths of our COR P25 radio system open architecture with the next
generation of networks and applications in order to better respond to
customer requirements," said Herve Guillou, CEO of Defence & Communications
Systems in EADS Defence & Security. "We have found the best partner as
Alcatel-Lucent is a leader in LTE and has a strong presence in North America"

Alcatel-Lucent will adapt its LTE-based radio access network,
enhanced packet core, IMS and IP backhaul infrastructure and systems to the
frequency band dedicated to broadband public safety services in the U.S.
Alcatel-Lucent will also provide integration, validation and testing
solutions and services. Alcatel-Lucent is a recognized market leader in LTE
with more than 40 LTE trials around the globe and commercial contracts with
two of the largest operators in the world.

EADS Defence & Security will provide LMR infrastructure and
systems, LTE terminals and public safety applications. EADS Defence &
Security will also provide integration, validation and testing solutions and
services. EADS Defence & Security is a world leading provider of
mission-critical communications and Command & Control solutions through its
integrated activity Defence and Communications Systems (DCS).
