Alcatel-Lucent Teams with Polaris Wireless and Thales Alenia for Positioning Solutions
Alcatel-Lucent is partnering with Polaris Wireless and Thales Alenia Space to offer an advanced solution for mobile device geographic positioning.
The Alcatel-Lucent Positioning Solution (ALPS) utilizes a range of technologies to support Location Based Services (LBS), public safety, emergency services, and other applications that rely on accurate location information.
Polaris Wireless provides a highly-accurate, software based location solution capable of locating mobile devices across all air interfaces and all environments, including urban areas and indoors.
Thales Alenia Space is also a key partner and a worldwide player in satellite navigation systems and provide ubiquitous Located Based Solutions with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) assistance with data quality, dynamic location technique selection and hybridization, along with a strong availability for highly reliable applications.http://www.alcatel-lucent.com http://www.polariswireless.com

You just read about Alcatel-Lucent. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Alcatel built Fixed, mobile, optical and enterprise telecom equipment. What became of it?
Alcatel brought Fixed, mobile, optical and enterprise telecom equipment to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its merger with Alcatel-Lucent for US$13.4B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Alcatel-Lucent today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
