Alcatel-Lucent is a global communications industry leader with the innovation, expertise and vision for a connected world that moves at the speed of ideas.
Alcatel-Lucent combined two entities — Alcatel and Lucent Technologies — which shared a common lineage dating back to 1986. That was the year Alcatel’s parent company, CGE (la Compagnie Générale d’Electricité), acquired ITT’s European telecom business. Nearly 60 years earlier, ITT had purchased most of AT&T’s manufacturing operations outside the United States. Lucent Technologies was spun off from AT&T.

OmniAccess
OmniAccess Wireless LAN, Access Point & Rounter
Alcatel-Lucent's next generation WLAN solution is a highly scalable, comprehensive set of mobile LAN products that automatically identify and authenticate users as they connect to the network. Once user identity is established, it enables "follow-me" privileges, security and services - something no other enterprise system provides today. This sophisticated technology gives corporations the power to manage and secure people rather than ports.
OmniAccess Wireless LAN Switches
The industry's most comprehensive line of modular & workgroup systems.
OmniAccess Wireless LAN Access Points
Small, lightweight and securely deployed in a variety of locations.
OmniAccess WLAN Software
Unprecedented control over the entire wireless environment and enabling advanced adaptive WLAN, identity-based security and application continuity services.
The OmniAccess WLAN Switch Family includes:
OmniAccess 6000
Alcatel-Lucent’s flagship modular mobility controller is the most scalable of its kind on the market
OmniAccess 4324
For regional headquarters, the OmniAccess 4324 delivers up to 400 Mbps of encrypted throughput
OmniAccess 4308
For remote office applications the OmniAccess 4308 supports up to 16 APs and hundreds of simultaneous users
OmniAccess 4302 For branch offices, retail stores, and small business applications, this is centrally managed from the corporate headquarters or in a data center
OmniSwitch
OmniSwitch Stackable LAN Switch
OmniSwitch 6900
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6900 (OS6900) Stackable LAN Switches are compact, high-density 10GbE and 40GbE platforms that offer unmatched versatility. With a modular approach, the platforms accommodate the exact rack configuration and the exact oversubscription ratio required by the application flows. In addition to high performance and extremely low latency, the OmniSwitch 6900 platforms offer extensive QoS, Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, as well as system and network level resiliency. They can be positioned as Top of Rack in a Data Center as well as core/aggregation switches in a converged campus network.
Through the use of optional modules, the OmniSwitch 6900 can offer the highest 10GbE port density in its class with up to 64 10GbE ports in a 1U form factor. The OmniSwitch 6900 modularity also allows for up to 6 40GbE uplink ports. With its benchmark power efficiency, this makes the OS6900 product family the most efficient and versatile switch in its class.
