Teradyne, Inc., (NYSE: TER), a leading provider of broadband test
systems, today announced the completed delivery of its next-generation
line test system to Belgacom. Belgacom awarded the business to
Teradyne in order to upgrade its entire test infrastructure and
accommodate its four million line network. Belgacom granted final
acceptance of the system in March 2007.
The upgrade includes Teradyne's next-generation of Test System
Controllers (TSCs) and its latest 4TEL(R)II expert system software,

completion. It represents the culmination of a complex upgrade program
of our central computing systems and remote test heads without
interruption to the day-to-day operations of Belgacom's Customer Call
