The newly merged company will hereby include products from its portfolio and innovative technologies from Bell Labs and extensively support the implementation of project ideas. Furthermore, Alcatel-Lucent will provide its know-how on service development and introduction. The French/English telecommunications company's experience has proven that the close and direct collaboration of end users, service providers and suppliers significantly speeds up the development and implementation of new solutions. The requirements of citizens, authorities, organizations and companies of T-City can thus be mapped in a new quality.
As part of a five-year agreement concluded at the end of November, Alcatel-Lucent is involved in equipping the T-City Friedrichshafen with telecommunications solutions.
The innovative ideas of the future “T-City” will be implemented by Deutsche Telekom together with Alcatel-Lucent as the premium partner in the course of the project period in defined product and cooperation fields. Other partners, at an application level, for example, will also be acquired for this.
Hans-Burghardt Ziermann, CEO of Alcatel-Lucent in Germany, is a member of the 11 person jury which chose the ten final round participants at the end of November.
"As the exclusive partner of the T-City project, we will continue our successful and long-standing partnership with Deutsche Telekom," said Hans-Burghardt Ziermann. "We are delighted that we can make a contribution to a unique future-orientated city, which will become even more attractive - both to live in and as an economic area.“
Long-term goal is for T-City to become a model for other cities.
