FACTSHEET |
The
company's strength in structured cabling has placedÂ
Lucent in #8 position. Globally, Lucent has announced that its
SYSTIMAX along with its PBX business, will go to a separate
company being spun off.
A small portion of its
revenues (Rs 10 crore from total of Rs 70 crore) came from
selling some data solution to its traditional telecom accounts
and ISPs. They were primarily in DSL and digital cross connects.
The RAS products of Ascend started making inroads only at the
fag end of the year. The uninspiring performance in its RAS
products was due to the restructuring that the company went
through. The company took an unusually long time to integrate
the Ascend line of business to its main business and by the time
it was settling down, the Indian restructuring happened.
While Lucent will continue to lead in the
traditional (basic/cellular/long-distance) market, it remains to
be seen how it performs in the small carriers/ISP market. The
company to watch, however, will be its enterprise subsidiary. If
it is able to properly combine its DEFINITY and SYSTIMAX
products, it will be a major player in the LAN segment.
