French-U.S Company forecasts significant sale increase in Azerbaijan

The market share of telecoms giant Alcatel & Lucent increased by 50 per cent in Azerbaijan in 2010-2011, a spokesman for the company's office in Azerbaijan Levent Ozbilgin told. He said that the company expects at least a 20 per cent increase next year.

"This is a preliminary figure," he said. "If the operators get the licenses needed to deploy 4G networks, it will further boost sales of the company."

Alcatel & Lucent has operated on the Azerbaijani market for a long time and cooperates with both private and state communication operators. At present, a third of fixed telephony network in Azerbaijan is based on Alcatel & Lucent's solutions.
