Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise takes part in the large-scale Grand Paris Express infrastructure project in France.

Paris, France, May 17th 2023 – Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, a leading provider of communications, cloud and networking solutions tailored to customers’ industries, announces its collaboration in the Grand Paris Express project as part of its “technology for good” strategy.

The Grand Paris Express is currently the largest infrastructure project in Europe. The future Grand Paris subway includes 200 kilometres of new rail that will create four new lines around Paris (lines 15, 16, 17, and 18) and extend the existing line 14. In addition, 68 new subway stations will be built, helping to create new sustainable urban centres in these locations.

Tomorrow’s Grand Paris will see the emergence of pleasant neighbourhoods, accessible to all and respectful of human and natural resources.

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise is supplying the distribution equipment for a multiservice IP/MPLS broadband network to meet all the operation and maintenance requirements of the Grand Paris Express. The OmniSwitch® range is being deployed in stations and in remotely located industrial environments. This equipment makes possible the management of video surveillance and air quality control via IoT (Internet of Things). Secure telephony/intercom solutions are being deployed within an ecosystem of technology partners in stations and installed in the trains of the future line 18.

We are very proud to participate in the Grand Paris Express smart mobility project. It positions Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise as a trusted player among the champions of carbon-free transportation. “This project required the mobilization of an entire team of ALE experts that collaborated with numerous integrator and technology partners. It involves the entire portfolio of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise solutions and is compliant with the sustainable development regulations defined by the UN Global Compact to which ALE is committed. As such, it is a perfect example of our “technology for good" strategy to enable projects that positively impact people, the planet, and prosperity
