Alcatel-Lucent
TOP EXECUTIVE: Phillippe Camus, Chairman and Interim CEO
The France-based global telecommunication equipment maker plans to leverage its established market position to help customers build and deliver successful IoT applications.
In September, Alcatel-Lucent acquired Mformation, a provider of mobile and IoT security and device management solutions for mobile operators, service providers and enterprises. The company says it plans to use Mformation to accelerate its technology innovation in IoT security and device management.
The company also partnered with Sequans Communications this year to collaborate on enabling key technologies for IoT by providing the "4G Kit for IoT" -- a new IoT prototyping platform. In April, Nokia announced its plan to acquire Alcatel-Lucent for $16.6 billion, a deal expected to close in the first half of 2016.
