Alcatel-Lucent announced a major expansion of its partnership with Rostechnologii (SC Rostechnologii), Russia’s largest high-technology corporation, with an aim of accelerating the development of LTE and ground-breaking transmission technologies. The two companies will create a new research and development center in Moscow, expected to employ several hundred highly-skilled engineers drawn from both organizations. The joint venture will be set-up with Rostechnologii’s holding company – RusElectronics. The center will be managed by Alcatel-Lucent and will be fully integrated into Alcatel-Lucent’s global network of R&D centers. http://www.alcatel-lucent.com

From the Graveyard
You just read about Alcatel. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Xylan built Enterprise LAN switching. What became of it?
Xylan brought Enterprise LAN switching to Networking. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Alcatel for US$2B. 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.
From the Technology Graveyard
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.
