PARIS (dpa-AFX) - Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) said that it entered into the $4 billion-a-year market for Internet core routers, with the 7950 Extensible Routing System.
The international telecommunications group today unveiled products that modernize the global backbone of the Internet to deal with the new era of video and cloud-based services. The company said that in a similar way to telephone exchanges controlling the flow of voice traffic and communications, Internet Protocol core routers control the flow of data and video traffic in metropolitan areas and cities, across national network backbones and in the global Internet.
Alcatel-Lucent estimates its new products, which have taken more than three years to develop, will deliver a five-fold improvement in capacity and performance as well as energy savings of 66 percent compared with today's typical IP core routers.
