2. Nortel Networks at a Glance Our history
Over 100 years at the forefront of major technological innovations in telecom
Our operations
Serving more than 150 countries
Our people
Approximately 36K employees worldwide
Our financials
2002 Revenues of US$10.6B
2002 R&D expenditure of US$2.2B Let me first give you a very brief snapshot of our company, starting with our history.
We have a proud tradition of innovation and leadership in shaping the world of communications. Established more than a century ago, Nortel Networks has participated in major developments in the evolution of communications networks worldwide.
Leading change has always been Nortel Networks competitive strength. We have transformed and reinvented ourselves countless times. What was once a pioneering telephone manufacturing company, supplying primarily the Canadian market, is now one of the world's largest global providers of high-performance Internet and advanced "carrier grade" data networks that provide the quality, scalability and reliability to serve as a new foundation for global communications. Nortel is currently delivering networking and communication services and infrastructure for customers in more than 150 countries, including established carriers, network operators, wireless service providers and enterprises. Nortel is approximately 36,000 employees strong, of which about 1/3 are in R&D. We act on the belief that our people are our strength, knowing that the knowledge, commitment and talent of our employees drives our success.
In 2002, Nortel Networks achieved revenues of US$10.6B.

3. Our Customers Service providers
Public network carriers
Wireless operators
Multi-service operators (cable companies)
Enterprises
Small, medium and large businesses
Financial institutions
Educational institutions
Hospitality industry
Healthcare facilities
Public institutions and government agencies
Other industries In generating that revenue, we have two categories of customers: service providers and enterprises.
On the service provider side:
We provide network solutions to the worlds largest and most successful public network carriers (could add local/relevant examples). These organizations provide everything from basic telephone service to Internet access to high-performance data networks.
The service provider category also includes wireless operators (could add local/relevant examples) that provide voice and increasingly Internet and data services.
We also serve multi-service operators, mainly cable companies branching out into new voice and data services (could add local/relevant examples).
On the enterprise side:
We provide network solutions and services to all types of businesses, from small and-medium sized companies to Fortune 500 multinational corporations. (could add local/relevant examples).
In fact, were a supplier to nine of every 10 Fortune 100 companies, representing more than 45 million users and addressing many sectors, including financial services, health care, and retail.
Were also helping many other organizations and institutions in government, education, and other fields.In generating that revenue, we have two categories of customers: service providers and enterprises.

4. Our Organization Addressing the needs of multiple markets and customers
Leveraging technology portfolio across various market segments
Common technological and networking expertise, operations and customer service
To deliver solutions that meet the unique needs of our varied customer markets, we are organized into four leadership categories: Wireless, Wireline, Optical and Enterprise. In 2002, our revenue was split as follows:
Wireless: $4.2B;
Enterprise: $2.6B;
Wireline: $2.3B; and
Optical: $1.5B.
Our core strength is technology. We leverage our technology portfolio across multiple markets to both maximize our return on R&D, as well as to enable ubiquitous solutions for end users. We are a world leader in "packetizing" networks for wireline service providers and we're applying packet technology to wireless and enterprise networks as well. Tying it all together is our dynamic optical foundation, the backbone of communications networks. We are maximizing our common technology and networking know-how, global operations and customer service across all our markets and lines of businesses.

8. Transformed Network Architecture So with that kind of a service capability in mind, whats the transformed network going to look like?
Its going to be packet. Consensus, everybody understands that, now its a matter of when and how fast and whats the business cases?
Its going to be packet because only a packet structure will handle all services. If you dont have packet, youre going to have separate networks for separate services.
Its going to have, on one packet structure, different services that require different capabilities of that structure. In the world where you had one service on one infrastructure, the capabilities were defined and they werent variable. In the world of the transformed network, youre going to have to be able to call up different latencies for different services, different bandwidths for different services, different quality of service, different attributes of delivery of capability. And youre going to have to be prepared to pay for it because its going to cost different amounts of money, and that gives you a very very powerful infrastructure. So different services running on the infrastructure.
And a key part of this transformed network is what we call the Services Edge. Networks dont have an explicit edge when its one service on one network, it connects to the access and its one configuration.
Multiple services on one network. At the edge, you need the security. At the edge, you also need mobility functionality, which is in fact an edge function, so GGSN in a wireless world for those of you that know the different blocksquality of service or quality of experience if you like, I put IP-VPNs here because its really a security issueand subscriber control.
Now, Ill talk a little bit in a moment what the network functionality is there, but this capability of whats at the packet edge and how does it operates, is transforming networks.
So network is packet, its got secure multimedia services running on it, supported with the services edge, its broadband throughout. Not broadband in every instance, but broadband capability throughout so you can get the multimedia broadband experience, and its an optical layer at the foundation of all networks.
So on one hand, this is the network transformation, these are what the networks are going to look like going forward, and whether its a wireless carrier network or a wireline carrier network, this is the network. They are not really different, theyre the same core, different access. Take core in the most expanded sense.
Whether its a carrier network or an enterprise network, in a significant enterprise network this is what the network looks like. So at one level, this is a statement of what I believe the network functional architecture is in the industry, at another level, this is Nortels investment plan. Were really investing on these building blocks and going to market with our different entities. And on this network, it needs to be very capable, it needs to export its capability so its easy for third party software providers or applications providers to get the resources they need from the network and the attributes they need from the network to deliver the applications. And for that the network needs to command value.So with that kind of a service capability in mind, whats the transformed network going to look like?
