France’s higher education and research community, the Association Réseau Haut Débit du Plateau de Saclay, has selected Alcatel-Lucent to deliver a turnkey optical network operating at 10 Gbps and upgradeable to 40 Gbps. The network will build on a 30 Km optical infrastructure already deployed by Alcatel-Lucent in 2006. Under the project, Alcatel-Lucent will combine cabling, optical and IP networking solutions from its portfolio, with specialized service practices. The deployment includes the Alcatel-Lucent 1696 Metrospan, Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router (SR) and Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850 platforms.http://www.alcatel-lucent.com/http://www.saclay2.net/

From the Graveyard
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.
