If I would have to qualify Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise solutions with a few words I would say: reliable, stable and flexible.
Challenges
Pluris was investigating technologies suited for communications in their hotels and on their cruises. They were looking for a solution that would provide an excellent customer experience.
The client was a pioneer in the construction of river and sea cruise ships in Portugal and was looking for not just a communications supplier, but for a partner who could design and implement solutions tailored to the needs of each ship.
Action
Faced with these challenges, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise together with its Partner GAP, studied the differences in communication requirements for sea and river cruises before designing the solutions.
The solution requirement differs, as the communications specifications for seagoing ships are different from river ships.
