Alcatel-Lucent and NEC today announced the start of a broad
collaboration to market advanced end-to-end communications solutions.
As an important first step in this collaboration, Alcatel-Lucent and
NEC have decided to form a joint venture that will focus on the
development of Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless broadband access
solutions. These solutions will support the network evolution of
leading customers around the world, such as NTT DoCoMo, who has
already selected NEC as a vendor for commercial service deployment of
its Super 3G (LTE) project, and Verizon, with whom Alcatel-Lucent has
already initiated a LTE trial program. Through this joint development
effort, the two companies intend to accelerate the availability of
next-generation wireless solutions.
Leveraging the common LTE product strategy and platform of the joint
venture, Alcatel-Lucent and NEC will each manage delivery, project
execution and dedicated support to their respective customers.
