Alcatel Lucent built its wireless strategy around being an equipment manufacturer for Aruba. Because of Aruba's high market share and consistently strong offerings, it's provided Alcatel Lucent a pretty strong portfolio of products to build its business around. Since Aruba has gained a bit of a reputation for building niche albeit high-quality wireless products, it's no wonder that Alcatel Lucent is looking to branch out their offerings. Alcatel has now introduced its own line of access points under the brand name "Stellar" and are being marketed as more affordable and easier to deploy.
