Launches Certified OpenPlug Solutions Provider Program

PARIS, April 27, 2011 -- Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) today announced two initiatives to fuel the growth of cross-platform, cross-device applications, further deepening the company’s commitment to the application developer community.

OpenPlug Studio (formerly OpenPlug ELIPS Studio) will now be available to developers free of charge with no feature limitations. OpenPlug Studio is a cross-platform development toolkit that allows developers to efficiently create native applications for smart phones, tablets and other web-connected devices from a single code base using well-known web development technologies such as JavaScript, ActionScript and XML. Developers can download OpenPlug Studio at http://developer.openplug.com/product/download.

The company also launched a Certified OpenPlug Solutions Provider Program focused on application development and developer training. Initial members include Exuvis, Nexworld and On3. Members of the Certified OpenPlug Solutions Provider Program work closely with Alcatel-Lucent teams to build mobile applications which integrate with enterprise information systems and leverage service providers’ network-based APIs to deliver a richer end user experience, while lowering total project costs for their clients. Additionally, select members are organizing instructor-led developer training courses to foster adoption among their clients and the broader mobile application developer community.

Alcatel-Lucent acquires OpenPlug, a cross-platform mobile software development tool provider

Acquisition expands company’s developer tools to make applications available on diverse operating systems and in more service provider stores

Paris, September 1, 2010 – Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) today announced that it has acquired OpenPlug, a mobile software and applications development tools vendor. Through this acquisition, Alcatel-Lucent deepens its role in the applications space by delivering, as part of its integrated suite of developer tools, a platform where application developers can write an application once, which will then be translated to run on any of the five major mobile operating systems. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Alcatel-Lucent can now extend OpenPlug’s functionality to service providers, enterprises and developers so they can create and deploy applications - in virtually record time and without sacrificing the unique customer experience - across multiple mobile devices and within service provider app stores. As a result, applications that had previously only been available on more sophisticated devices such as smartphones, can now be enjoyed by consumers on any mobile device, which opens up opportunities in emerging markets, where low cost mobile phone circulation is highest.
