Following the light

摘要

Lucent's microelectronics group has completed the acquisition of the products and the design, marketing and sales teams of VTC. Lucent bought the Minnesota-based supplier of semiconductor components for around $100 million in cash. VTC also will receive an additional $50 million from Lucent during the next two years if it reaches certain performance goals. Alcatel and APC will collaborate to create a line interface hybrid for use in Alcatel's ADSL Dyna-MITE chipset, the MTK20150. The hybrid is intended to help reduce deployment cycles, total solution cost and board space requirements.
