8 NETWORKS property, plant and equipment AND SERVICE PLATFORMS 8.1.5 Transmission Networks Domestic Networks The transmission layer is the foundation of different parts of the network: access, aggregation , backbone. In every country where it operates, France Telecom operates a transmission infrastructure built itself or rented from one or more third-party operators. This infrastructure is primarily made up of optical fi bers, but it also contains microwaves , especially for alternative or purely mobile networks. Optical links offer bandwidths of up to 40 Gbps per wavelength, and dense wavelength division multiplexing technology (DWDM) currently makes it possible to have more than 80 wavelengths per fi ber, a fi gure set to increase in the future. France Telecom is one of the world leaders in the installation of advanced optical functions to make its transmission networks more fl exible. Furthermore, France Telecom offers direct connections by optical fi ber to business customers, providing them with veryhigh speed broadband services. Submarine Cables In order to accommodate the increase in international telecommunications traffi c, France Telecom is investing in diverse submarine cable systems: ■ participation in a consortium to build a cable that France Telecom would co-own; ■ purchase of IRU (Indefeasible Right of Use) for the duration of cable operation; ■ capacity leasing. Indian Ocean In 2009, the Group commissioned a 1,400 km-long submarine cable in the Indian Ocean, called LION (Lower Indian Ocean Network). Since November 2009, this cable has connected Madagascar, Reunion and Mauritius. This project was funded by investments from a consortium that included France Telecom, Orange Madagascar and Mauritius Telecom.

It also provides the diversifi cation of capacity necessary for the provision of services to Reunion and Mauritius, which were previously dependent on the single Sat3- Wasc-Safe cable. Lastly, it allows France Telecom’s Internet services to be developed on these three islands with optimal service quality, and intensifi es exchanges and synergy between the Group’s three regional entities. 184 2009 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT / FRANCE TELECOM
property, plant and equipment 8 NETWORKS AND SERVICE PLATFORMS Indian Ocean-Africa-Europe The Sat3-Wasc-Safe cable is still an essential route for transferring traffi c between the Indian Ocean and Europe. In 2009, France Telecom and its partners increased the capacity of this submarine system. By upgrading terminal equipment in October 2009, France Telecom was able to increase its Sat3- Wasc-Safe capacity fourfold to support the increase in use in Reunion. Indian Ocean-Persian Gulf-Europe France Telecom has invested in building the IMeWe (India Middle East Western Europe) submarine cable built between 2008 and early 2010. This submarine cable connects Mumbai, India, to Marseille via the Persian Gulf, the Middle East and Sicily, and has a total capacity of 3.84 Tbps, covering an approximate distance of 13,000 km. Marseille Catania Tripoli Alexandria Suez Fujairah Karachi Jeddah Mumbai IMeWe will support the strong growth of traffi c coming from the Indian sub-continent, and will increase the security of France Telecom’s international network. Lastly, IMeWe will play its part in the Group’s development in East Africa and in the Indian Ocean. This region’s traffi c, essentially destined for Europe and the United States, can transit via IMeWe, thanks to the system’s excellent connectivity with the other regional cables. IMeWe will add to the Sea-Me-We3 and Sea-Me-We4, which currently transport France Telecom’s traffi c to India and Asia. In 2009, France Telecom also doubled its capacity on the last two cables. Sea-Me-We4 runs alongside IMeWe on the France- India portion, but then it goes around the sub-continent to reach Singapore. Sea-Me-We3 has a lower capacity but offers high connectivity and sends traffi c directly to 35 Northern European countries and Japan. 8 2009 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT / FRANCE TELECOM 185
