Alcatel SA next week plans to round out its enterprise network product line with wireless LAN and voice products.

The hardware is based largely on third-party products that have been integrated with Alcatel's network management, security and IP PBX offerings.


"They're not going to stomp on the WLAN market (with these offerings)," says Joel Conover, principal analyst for enterprise infrastructure at Current Analysis Inc. "The real key is that they couldn't sell on an end-to-end basis without that wireless component."


The new offerings are rebranded WLAN switches and access points from Airespace, and WLAN VoIP phone handsets from Spectralink.
