Regardless of what industry you're in, it's a safe bet that you rely on your communications network to support and improve operations, optimize your business processes, strengthen security and deliver new and/or better services to your customers. Indeed, the communications network is a key business enabler that you expect a lot from -- but it's not your core business.

Integration is what makes the sum greater than its parts.

Industries typically operate a number of systems such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), public address, video surveillance, intrusion detection, terrestrial trunked radio (TETRA), LANs, WANs and network security. The challenge is to integrate these disparate multi-vendor, multi-technology systems into an effective and user-productive communications system. This is where Alcatel comes in - as an experienced integrator, we strive to multiply the benefits that each of these systems can deliver by making them work as a single, unified network.

Backed by years of experience, we design integrated, secure, redundant and multi-vendor networks that are engineered using only proven technologies. Utilizing rigorous project management and quality assurance processes, followed throughout the full project lifecycle, Alcatel ensures that you get a solution that is technically and commercially compliant.

Optimize Your TCO

Total cost of ownership (TCO) is a critical factor for any communications network. In addition to the use of innovative purchasing processes such as e-sourcing, we have teams dedicated to reducing the costs of integrated projects and improving quality of service. Our global frame agreements with key vendor partners ensure we can pull together project resources quickly and cost-effectively to meet your TCO objectives.
