Founded2006

Alcatel-Lucent, prior to its acquisition by Nokia in 2016, was a global telecommunications equipment company. Its Access Division (now part of Nokia's Fixed Networks) specialized in providing solutions for fixed broadband access, including Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technologies like ADSL and VDSL, fiber-to-the-home/node/premises (FTTH/N/P) using GPON and EPON standards, and other technologies enabling high-speed internet connectivity for residential and business users. These technologies are crucial for delivering internet, voice, and video services over wired networks. The Access Division's products helped service providers worldwide build and upgrade their network infrastructure to meet growing bandwidth demands. These operations and product lines are now integrated within Nokia's Network Infrastructure business group, specifically under Fixed Networks.
