Since 2004, France Telecom has also rolled out 3G/UMTS mobile networks in Europe and in a growing number of AMEA countries. France Telecom’s GSM, GPRS/Edge and 3G network architecture complies with the international ETSI and 3GPP standards. These networks use standardized frequency bands for GSM and UMTS: 900 MHz, 1 800 MHz, 2 100 MHz. The 2G and 3G networks feature a number of shared elements, including: ■ 3G base stations (UMTS Node B), most of which are co-located with 2G stations (GSM BTS); ■ antennas, energy and transmission equipment. This pooled effort reduces operating and investment costs. Z MOBILE NETWORK ARCHITECTURE IN platform UMTS BS UMTS terminal BTS UMTS BS UMTS RNC HLR PSTN BTS Terminal GSM/GPRS GSM BTS GSM BTS GSM BSC MSC SGSN GGSN Intranet Internet Radio Sub-System Network Sub-System The Group’s mobile networks provide voice, SMS (Short Message Service), MMS (Multimedia Message Service), Internet and France Telecom portal access, data transfer, video streaming, television and video-telephony services. The Edge network reaches speeds of around 100 kbps, depending on radio and terminal conditions, in the downstream direction, i.e. from the network to the terminal. The UMTS access network supports faster data communication services of up to several Mbps that can be used to send and receive heavy fi les (audio, photo, video). The UMTS network capacity was extended in all the Group’s European countries, through 3G+ technology (HSDPA and HSUPA). In 2009, there was a sharp increase in the volume of data sent each month, a two- to threefold increase over 2008 depending on the country. 182 2009 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT / FRANCE TELECOM

These networks are traditionally made up of SDH/PDH technologies for mobiles and ATM technology for fi xed aggregation . In 2009, the Group continued to roll out new technologies, such as Gigabit Ethernet, hybrid packet-circuit microwaves and leased Ethernet lines. These technologies are used to optimize costs. They are also used to prepare for future replacement of ATM technology by layer -2 Ethernet technologies and layer -3 IP/MPLS technologies, which can increase the volume of data sent over fi xed and mobile networks. 8 mobile backhaul (SDH/PDH...)
