warning: Alcatel-Lucent, Nortel M & WCDMA Nortel restructuring

split pattern of the global telecommunications equipment market is more uncertain. Reuters reported the deal said that the global telecom equipment industry, after several integration, only Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia Siemens Networks and Alcatel-Lucent (the "Alcatel-Lucent"), a few major roles.

The same time although the scale is not and the above companies, ZTE also have joined this first tier of potential.

But even with Nortels LTE business, Nokia Siemens Networks able to demonstrate their skills in the field of LTE is not yet known. According to analysis, on the one hand as soon as possible depending on whether the seamless integration of Nokia Siemens Networks to Nortels acquisition of the business, and Alcatel-Lucent is a warning: Alcatel-Lucent, Nortels WCDMA business acquisition, and today appears to have been a classic case of failure, followed by Huawei is the network continues to be moved. The other hand, depends on the products impact - Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi base station into Nortels LTE technology, the ability to go beyond the RBS6000 Ericsson and Huawei fourth-generation base stations.
