From the Graveyard
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.
