Alcatel-Lucent and Qualcomm to redefine Ultra-Broadband Wireless Access
VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE
Michel Combes, CEO, Alcatel-Lucent, said, "This initiative perfectly illustrates the Shift Plan we announced last month, which will see Alcatel-Lucent focus on growth technologies, including those facilitating ultra-broadband access. We also said we would actively seek collaboration with the key industry players. In working together with Qualcomm Technologies - a world leader in advanced wireless platform solutions such as its small cell chipsets -, Alcatel-Lucent will continue to be positioned at the forefront of innovation in the small cells market."
"Small cells greatly increase capacity by bringing the network closer to the user, thus enabling operators to serve the anticipated 1000x growth in mobile data traffic and dramatically improving experience for wireless subscribers. Working together with industry leaders like Alcatel-Lucent, we can accelerate the dense deployment of small cells globally, driving another significant leap in advanced wireless broadband technology and services," said Dr Paul E. Jacobs, Chairman & CEO, Qualcomm Incorporated.
With the growing popularity of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices using high-bandwidth video and gaming applications, wireless network operators and service providers are looking to small cells to cost-effectively meet the rapidly-expanding demand for mobile data capacity and network coverage. By working together, Alcatel-Lucent and Qualcomm Technologies intend to accelerate......See More
Alcatel-Lucent (EURONEXT PARIS AND NYSE: ALU) and Qualcomm Technologies(NASDAQ:QCOM) have announced their plans to collaborate to develop small cell base stations that enhance 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi networks to improve wireless connectivity in residential and enterprise environments. These next-generation small cells would combine Alcatel-Lucent's proven expertise and innovation in developing small cell solutions with Qualcomm Technologies' industry-leading mobile and networking technologies, to enable ultra-broadband wireless communications.
The planned collaboration brings the two industry leaders in wireless communications together in the development of small cells to enhance wireless network reception in environments such as urban areas, shopping malls and other enterprise venues.
