Alcatel will supply its SDH optical multi-service transmission equipment to ONATEL (National Office of Telecommunications), the first national operator in Burkina Faso, to modernize the transmission network and interconnect Burkina Faso with the neighboring countries (Ivory Coast, Mali, Togo and Ghana) as well as getting access to the high capacity submarine cable SAT3. Alcatel will also supply the cable optical fiber in the eastern side of the country. The new transport infrastructure, which will be supervised by Alcatel’s network management solution, will help to increase the national network’s traffic handling capability and allow interconnection with four other African countries.

You just read about Alcatel. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Newbridge Networks built ATM, Frame Relay and carrier access platforms. What became of it?
Newbridge Networks brought ATM, Frame Relay and carrier access platforms to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Alcatel for US$7.1B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Alcatel today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
