Alcatel-Lucent reaches 125-m VoIP subscriber milestone
Service-provider Alcatel-Lucent has shipped more than 125 million Voice-over-IP licenses worldwide as it meets the demand for ultra-broadband access to combined voice, video, data and new applications, Telecompaper reports.
Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) subscribers account for the bulk of the provider\'s shipments, with more than 88 million licenses issued. The focus on VoLTE deployment is in line with Alcatel-Lucent\'s industrial repositioning, under a Shift Plan to change the company into a specialist in IP Networking and Ultra-Broadband access to support services, web-scale, and enterprise networks.
