lightRadio
In 2011 Alcatel-Lucent launched lightRadio which is a
solution to the problem. It is a cube that is lighter than a drinks can
and not much bigger, reduces network power consumption by 51 percent and can be
deployed in locations that previously did not have mobile coverage.
CloudBand
We have developed CloudBand to connect the network to the
cloud. Cloud computing is now available to network companies, not just a
couple of high profile app developers. CloudBand is a technology that
gives service providers the ability to offer cloud computing to retail and
consumer customers. It is the foundation for a new class of ‘carrier-cloud’ services.
Smart grids
To enable transformation, power utilities are taking a
closer look at the power of their communications network to enable the smart
grid and its real-time applications. Alcatel-Lucent has worked with Canadian
utility AltaLink to move all mission-critical communications onto wide-area
networks, thereby taking advantage of reliable digital features and
functionality.
OpenTouch
OpenTouch suite of communications platforms allows
companies to embrace multimedia and multi-party communications. Where
once companies relied on telephones and one-to-one meetings, OpenTouch means
they can now incorporate new tools to ensure the most efficient working
practices.
