Following are some highlights of our technology breakthroughs and research milestones

May 2007

• Alcatel-Lucent unveils unique service risk management tool that assesses network vulnerability and provides prioritized recommendations.  Alcatel-Lucent has unveiled the Alcatel-Lucent Service Risk Management (SRM) product, a unique technology geared to support the security needs of carriers, managed security service providers and medium-to-large enterprises.  It significantly reduces the time and operational costs associated with identifying security vulnerabilities, enabling companies to more quickly deploy remediation activities.  Read more.

March 2007

• Alcatel-Lucent achieves a world record 25.6 Terabit/s optical transmission. Alcatel combined research teams of Bell Labs from the United States and Research and Innovation from France successfully transmitted a world record 25.6 Terabits per second (Tb/s) of optical data over a single fiber strand, using 160 Wavelength-Division Multiplexed (WDM) channels - enough bandwidth to transmit the data from more 600 DVDs per second.
