Editing Lucent Technologies (section)

==Operations==
===Divisions===
Lucent was divided into several core groups:
* '''Network Solutions Group''' served landline/cellular telephone service providers by providing equipment and other solutions necessary to provide telephone service, including networking equipment.
* '''Lucent Worldwide Services (LWS)''' provided network services to telecom companies and business; clients included [[AT&T Corporation]] and [[Verizon]].  Divisions of LWS included the AT&T Customer Business Unit, known as ACBU; and another group for Southwestern Bell and other Bell companies.  Both divisions were responsible for the installation of telecom equipment ranging from 2-pair copper to multi-wire fiber optics.  Each group also installed the first true national cellular service with LTE speeds in the 1990s.  
* '''[[Bell Labs]]''' was created in 1925 as the R&D firm of the [[Bell System]]. It was an AT&T subsidiary set up as dual ownership by AT&T and [[Western Electric]], the manufacturing arm of AT&T.

===Murray Hill facility===
The [[Murray Hill, New Jersey|Murray Hill]] facility in [[New Providence, New Jersey]] was the global headquarters for Lucent Technologies.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bell Labs is Dead, Long Live Bell Labs |url=https://www.technologyreview.com/1998/09/01/275827/bell-labs-is-dead-long-live-bell-labs/ |access-date=2022-03-24 |website=MIT Technology Review |language=en}}</ref> There was a [[cricket]] field in the grounds.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rybolt |first=Barbara |date=2012-04-17 |title=Solar array at Alcatel-Lucent in New Providence increases company's green footprint |url=https://www.nj.com/independentpress/2012/04/solar_array_at_alcatel-lucent.html |access-date=2022-03-24 |website=nj |language=en}}</ref>[[Image:Lucent HQ.gif|thumb|right|Lucent headquarters, Murray Hill, New Jersey, 2007]]
The [[Murray Hill, New Jersey|Murray Hill]] [[anechoic chamber]], built in 1940, is the world's oldest wedge-based anechoic chamber. The interior room measures approximately {{convert|30|ft|m}} high by {{convert|28|ft|m}} wide by {{convert|32|ft|m}} deep. The exterior concrete and brick walls are about {{convert|3|ft|m}} thick to keep outside noise from entering the chamber. The chamber absorbs over 99.995% of the incident acoustic energy above 200&nbsp;Hz. At one time the Murray Hill chamber was cited in the [[Guinness Book of World Records]] as the world's quietest room.<ref>{{Cite web |title=RetroScience: The World's Quietest Room |url=https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/retroscience-in-the-sound-of-silence/ |access-date=2022-03-24 |website=www.pbs.org |date=March 14, 2014 |language=en-US}}</ref>

===Mount Olive facility===
The Mount Olive Product Realization Center (MTO-PRC) facility in [[Mount Olive, New Jersey]] was part of the Wireless Networks Group business unit. The 252,000 square-feet building was constructed for [[AT&T Corp.]] in 1994. The two leased buildings were located at the [[International Trade Center (New Jersey)]] and one building was used for warehousing and the other used for wireless products manufacturing<ref name="New Jersey Hills Media Group">{{cite web |title=Lucent hangs up on 170 workers in International Trade Center |url=https://www.newjerseyhills.com/lucent-hangs-up-on-170-workers-in-international-trade-center/article_6c912776-7717-5e92-9a95-9b409b64cb2c.html |website=www.newjerseyhills.com |publisher=New Jersey Hills Media Group |access-date=7 January 2024}}</ref> since 1995.

This [[system integration]] plant was a manufacturing location with the business unit under one roof. This allowed, the development, design, business functions for manufacturing cellular phone parts<ref name="New Jersey Hills Media Group"/> and between 1996 and 1999, the production of first generation CDMA ([[Code-division multiple access]]) minicells needed for cellular phone carriers. A 1,015-lb second generation Flexent Modcell cabinet was introduced in October 1999 for production as [[Personal Communications Service|PCS]] (1.9 gigahertz) and [[Digital AMPS|TDMA]] (time-division multiple access) cellular (850&nbsp;MHz) versions.<ref name="Industrial Week">{{cite web |last1=Drickhamer |first1=David |date=February 14, 2005 |title=IW Best Plants Profile – 2000 |url=https://www.industryweek.com/talent/article/21939384/iw-best-plants-profile-2000 |website=IndustryWeek |access-date=7 January 2024}}</ref>

From 1996 to 1999, PRC achieved and reduced with this new facility the following production metrics and lean manufacturing statistics:<ref name="Industrial Week"/> product-development cycle time reduced over 50%, material cost reduced 43%, cost of goods by 68%, assembly productivity increased close to 150%, assembly defects reduced by 80%, manufacturing inventory reduced 70%, and 100% on-time delivery.<ref>{{cite web |title=North American Manufacturers Honored With Shingo Prize |url=https://www.theautochannel.com/news/press/date/20000501/press014427.html |website=www.theautochannel.com |publisher=The Auto Channel |access-date=7 January 2024}}</ref>  The facility introduced several self-managed work teams called PODs (Production On Demand) to assemble and test 50 Flexent Modcells daily.<ref name="Industrial Week"/>

The location was also active in research and development of CDMA minicells for future global market growth and third generation [[UMTS|W-CDMA]] (Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access) innovation.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Gregson |first1=Reily |title=LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES TO BUILD JAPAN R&D FACILITY |url=https://www.rcrwireless.com/19971103/archived-articles/lucent-technologies-to-build-japan-r-d-facility |website=www.rcrwireless.com |publisher=RCR Wireless News |access-date=7 January 2024}}</ref> Expansion was evident with minicell lines for the South America market with cross-training technicians from Brazil on the product and the W-CDMA product for Japan's cellular carrier, [[NTT DoCoMo]].<ref name="Industrial Week"/>

The facility was awarded various awards and prizes for the [[lean manufacturing]] of products and excellence in work methods.<ref name="Industrial Week"/>

In June 2002, Lucent announced closure of the manufacturing building by the end of the year, due to the telecommunication losses in operations. Of the remaining 530 employees at the facility. 170 were employee layoffs and the other 360 employees would mostly transfer to Lucent's [[Whippany, New Jersey]] location. The manufacturing of cell based systems would transfer to the [[Columbus, Ohio]] facility without employees. In the prior year. the warehouse building had closed for consolidation of facilities and cost reduction.<ref name="New Jersey Hills Media Group"/>

=== Domestic manufacturing locations ===
Many of the following manufacturing locations were transferred to other subsidiaries during Lucent's existence, closed, or sold years later. These facilities were established by Western Electric before the 1983 Bell System break-up. AT&T operated and managed these locations from 1984 until 1996. After the AT&T spin-off of Lucent, the telecommunications equipment being manufactured at these locations became products of Lucent Technologies.
