Alcatel had a very strong Digital Cross-connect System product. What they didn't have was a good tandem switch, so they bought out Texas based DSC Corp in order to quickly field a good tandem switch, the DSC DEX (a very good switch)

Alcatel dropped DSC's DCS systems (not exactly the best on the market) and ran with the DEX for a few years before obsoleting it in favor of next generation VOIP switches.
