Alcatel-Lucent
Alcatel-Lucent’s vision is to enrich people’s lives by transforming the way the world communicates. Alcatel-Lucent provides solutions that enable service providers, enterprises and governments worldwide, to deliver voice, data and video communication services to end-users. As a leader in fixed, mobile and converged broadband access, carrier and enterprise IP technologies, applications, and services, Alcatel-Lucent offers the end-to-end solutions that enable compelling communications services for people at home, at work and on the move.
With 79,000 employees (after the completion of the Thales transaction) and operations in more than 130 countries, Alcatel-Lucent is a local partner with global reach. The company has the most experienced global services team in the industry, and one of the largest Innovation and Technology organizations focused on communications. Alcatel-Lucent achieved adjusted proforma revenues of Euro 18.3 billion* in 2006, and is incorporated in France, with executive offices located in Paris.
Formed from the merger of Alcatel and Lucent Technologies, Alcatel-Lucent combines two entities that share a common lineage that can be traced back to 1986, when Alcatel’s parent company, CGE (la Compagnie Gйnйrale d’Electricitй), acquired ITT’s European telecom business. Nearly 60 years earlier, ITT had purchased most of AT&T’s manufacturing operations outside the United States. AT&T was Lucent’s former parent company.
By creating Alcatel-Lucent we are bringing our common lineages back together and starting an exciting new chapter of our history -- creating the world’s first truly global communications solutions provider, with the most complete end-to-end portfolio of solutions and services in the industry.
