Take Broadband Everywhere
Networks and the services they deliver must be accessible and available to everyone, everywhere,
on any device. Customers expect a high quality of experience (QoE) — whether they are at work or play,
in urban or rural locations.
Alcatel-Lucent develops solutions that extend broadband in the most advanced markets and that bring broadband to emerging markets.
Based on the Alcatel-Lucent High Leverage Network™ (HLN) architecture, these universal access solutions enable fixed and mobile broadband access. They use the latest DSL, GPON, fiber, small cell (femto), 2G, 3G and 4G LTE technologies. And they provide the embedded network intelligence needed to serve customers better.
Ensure open access for all
Transitioning from today’s broadband networks to tomorrow’s next-generation access networks is crucial. Deploy a common, converged access network based on IP for a next-generation wireline infrastructure that ensures open access, while bridging the digital divide.
Stimulate growth
Take advantage of smarter, more energy-efficient mobile broadband solutions to bring communications services to remote, rural and developing markets. People gain access to services, information and markets. And business grows.
Deliver wireless all around
Customers are adopting smartphones, tablets and other multimedia devices that connect them to their world at all times. Use all-IP wireless access solutions to provide mobile broadband with high QoE both indoors and on-the-move.
Bridge the fixed and mobile worlds
As the boundaries between fixed and mobile access blur, delivering advanced services to multiple screens is more important than ever. Use an HLN architecture and IMS end to end to deliver video and multimedia services, and cloud services that include collaboration, mobile advertising and multi-screen services.
The big business of small cells
Small cells help to extend broadband everywhere. And these small cells can have a big impact on business. Alcatel-Lucent research shows that the small cells market in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore and Taiwan will be worth a total of 6.1 billion euros by 2014. The research predicts that more than 34 million subscribers will be using small cells, mainly for unlimited voice and video calling and SMS services. Learn More
Beat the capacity crunch
High-demand applications, such as video and cloud services, drive the need for more access bandwidth and capacity. Take advantage of recent innovations, such as VDSL2 Bonding, VDSL2 Vectoring and DSL Phantom Mode, to increase bit rates and extract more value from existing copper.
Converge to cut costs
Launching new broadband services used to mean adding a costly access overlay for each service. Not anymore. An HLN architecture supports a converged Radio Access Network (RAN) for 2G, 3G and 4G LTE technologies. It also supports a converged wireline access platform for GPON, point-to-point fiber and DSL. Converging requires less space, energy and training. Most importantly, it reduces operational costs.
Go off-grid to grow
Providing affordable mobile services is challenging in remote and sparsely populated regions. Employ alternative energy solutions to bring mobile services to a huge population of potential new customers — the more than one billion people living in areas not served by an electrical grid.
Use network intelligence
Meeting the demands of high-end enterprise customers while delivering competitive broadband services to residential customers are ongoing challenges. Get embedded network intelligence and subscriber data into the hands of internal development teams and trusted application developer partners. They’ll be better equipped to enhance services, optimize content delivery and support new business models.
Driving socio-economic development
A model developed by Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs and the World Economic Forum found that, while mobile broadband helps fuel socio-economic growth, applications increase its value. The right combination of actions and investments can accelerate the benefits of mobile broadband by as much as 36 percent. Learn more
