Vodafone Group Adds ALU as Supplier of Reference for LTE Metro Cells

As part of Project Spring, Vodafone's investment program, Alcatel-Lucent has been selected as Supplier of Reference for LTE metro cells with integrated Wi-Fi capability. Being part of the supplier list, Alcatel-Lucent can bid on business in all Vodafone countries with its Metro Cell Outdoor small cell products.

  • Alcatel-Lucent said that the award consolidates the long term small cells partnership between itself and Vodafone, initiated years ago through the deployment of Alcatel-Lucent residential and enterprise small cells in multiple properties for Vodafone, followed more recently by its latest generation of small cells trial in the Netherlands.

"Vodafone Group is taking a leadership role with the deployment of small cells throughout their global properties and by serving as an industry reference with the deployment of a multi-vendor heterogeneous architecture. In being named a Supplier of Reference, Vodafone has given Alcatel-Lucent a strong endorsement that our small cells will help them to deliver high quality service to their customers. We are grateful for the opportunity to help Vodafone deliver an extraordinary and differentiated ultra-broadband experience for their customers."

 Luis Martinez Amago, President of Alcatel-Lucent's EMEA Region
