The Alcatel-Lucent Ecosystem Strategy for ng Connect
It’s different
It’s ambitious
It’s not only about the power of LTE and 4G broadband wireless…it’s about realizing the next generation Connected User Experience
Partnering with handset and data card vendors is traditional and essential
Partnering for pieces of the infrastructure to enable an e2e solution is key
Partnering with Applications Providers is the new norm
Partnering with leaders of industries outside of our own is the new strategy
