Verizon and Alcatel are working on a project to deploy a 27,000-line IP telephony system for the Clark County School District (CCSD), which encompasses Las Vegas and is the sixth largest school district in the U.S. in size with 268,000 students and nearly 30,000 teachers. The IP telephony network will connect more than 300 schools and administrative facilities. Every classroom will be included. The contract, valued at more than $15 million over three years, covers all Alcatel OmniPCX Enterprise hardware and software, as well as Verizon-provided professional services such as network assessments, project management and installation. In addition, Verizon and Alcatel provide on-site technical support, training and ongoing maintenance.

Packet Engines brought Gigabit Ethernet switches to Networking. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Alcatel for US$315M. 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.
