ALE International SAS, trading as Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, is a French software company headquartered in Colombes, France, providing communication equipment and services to telecommunications companies, ISPs and data providers.[1] The company was founded after China Huaxin Post and Telecom Technologies acquired the enterprise division of Alcatel-Lucent in 2014. Since March 2019, Nicolas Brunel has served as President of Alcatel-Lucent Entreprise.[2]
History
Background
The company has origins in French telecommunications company Alcatel (acronym for the Société Alsacienne de Constructions Atomiques, de Télécommunications et d'Électronique), that formed as a result of a series of merges and acquisitions by Compagnie Générale d'Electricité (CGE) in the late 1960s. However, the predecessors of the company have been a part of telecommunications industry since the late 19th century.[3]
In 2006, Alcatel-Lucent was formed by the merger of France-based Alcatel and U.S.-based Lucent Technologies, the latter being a successor of AT&T's Western Electric and Bell Labs.[4]
Establishment
Alcatel-Lucent spun off its Enterprise division on 1 October 2014 to Chinese company China Huaxin Post and Telecommunication Economy Development Center (later renamed China Huaxin Post and Telecom Technologies). Alcatel-Lucent retained a 15% stake.[5] ALE International continued to use the Alcatel-Lucent brand name, now licensed from Nokia, which purchased Alcatel-Lucent in 2015.[6][7] In 2016, Alcatel-Lucent was merged into Nokia Networks, while Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise continued as a separate company.[8][9]
Technology and organization
The company develops infrastructure software for access networking, data centers, wireless networks, voice-over-IP, unified communications, contact centers, and cloud services, among others.[1][10] In 2019, ALE was the first vendor to release a certified Wi-Fi 6 outdoor access point.[11][12] In April 2021, it released two Wi-Fi 6 indoor access points.[13] In May 2021, the company designed Rainbow Classroom, a cloud-based virtual classroom for educational institutions with communication tools for remote group learning.[14][15]
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has its main offices at 32 Avenue Kleber in Colombes, France. The company operates its business through three main corporate divisions: Core Networking, Access and Other.[1]
