Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise adds PROFINET to boost IT-OT unity
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has launched PROFINET protocol support as part of its latest AOS 8.10R3 software update for industrial networks. PROFINET is recognised as a widely adopted industrial protocol, enabling real-time and deterministic communication between components such as sensors, controllers, and central systems within factories and critical infrastructure. The protocol is a key enabler in sectors such as factory automation, transportation, energy, and utilities, where low latency and high reliability are essential. The introduction of PROFINET support allows native operation over industrial Ethernet, eliminating the need for external gateways. According to the company, this reduces the complexity often seen in managing hybrid IT and operational technology (OT) networks. Customers are expected to benefit from a unified and converged infrastructure, with centralised policy enforcement and management via the OmniVista platform. The new capabilities also offer high availability, which is necessary for always-on, mission-critical operations. Furthermore, the update facilitates a smoother progression to Industry 4.0, allowing for simultaneous support of both industrial and enterprise protocols within the same network infrastructure. IT-OT convergence Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has described this update as being in line with its ongoing vision for IT-OT convergence, aiming to deliver an architecture—supported by OmniFabric—that reliably and securely links people, applications, objects, and business processes. "With PROFINET support now available on the OmniSwitch 6465 Industrial Ethernet Switch, ALE enables industrial networks to benefit from enterprise-class switches with centralized management, advanced segmentation, security and real-time visibility," Henrique Amaro, Business Line Manager Network - Transportation, Energy & Utilities at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, stated. The company stated that the addition of PROFINET into its industrial switch range is intended to strengthen its position in serving industrial and critical infrastructure sectors. Such sectors include smart manufacturing, automated railways, intelligent energy grids, and urban mobility systems, all of which are increasingly looking to combine IT and OT assets for enhanced operational efficiency. Sector needs The announcement highlights a broader trend among industrial operators towards greater integration of IT and OT. The new software aims to provide ALE customers with the ability to manage complex, mixed environments through a single management interface, enabling adherence to both enterprise and operational requirements. Customers should be able to implement policy controls centrally, ensuring compliance and improving both oversight and standardisation across different systems and processes. In sectors where downtime or data loss can lead to significant disruptions, the high-availability features of the AOS 8.10R3 update are expected to be particularly relevant. Positioning for modernization By bringing PROFINET support to its portfolio and aligning with industry standards, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise continues its emphasis on providing secure networking and communication solutions to organisations that are pursuing greater digitalisation and operational efficiency in demanding environments. All ALE solutions are designed with built-in security, minimal environmental impact, and full compliance with national data sovereignty regulations and international industry standards for data protection. Guided by its three core pillars—environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and corporate governance—ALE delivers technology that benefits the environment, people, and businesses alike. With over a century of innovation, ALE has earned the trust of more than one million customers globally. Headquartered in France and supported by a network of 3,400 business partners, the company combines worldwide reach with strong local presence.

Expanded scope The partnership is intended to address the needs of organisations operating at scale, including those managing multiple sites or distributed workforces. The integration of Versa's technologies with ALE's secure networking enables enterprises to adopt a unified approach to secure connectivity across different locations and network edges. Stephan Robineau, Executive Vice President of the Network Business Division at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, commented on the development: "We are thrilled to strengthen our collaboration with Versa, a recognized leader in SASE and SD-WAN technologies. Versa's innovative solutions align seamlessly with our commitment to provide high-performance and resilient networks, simplifying network operations and enhancing secure connectivity for enterprises and multi-site organizations. This partnership allows us to expand our portfolio and provide secure solutions that adapt to the evolving demands of modern enterprises." With the rapid evolution of IT landscapes and increased adoption of hybrid cloud and on-premises solutions, organisations have become more reliant on robust security and simpler network management. ALE's collaboration with Versa, a company recognised for self-protecting and AI-powered network solutions, is aimed at helping enterprises address these complexities and security requirements. Universal secure access Martin Mackay, Chief Revenue Officer at Versa, also provided his perspective: "Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise continues to be a leader in delivering transformational networking solutions to its customers in the cloud, on-premises, or as a hybrid model. As a SASE solutions leader, Versa is excited to work more closely with ALE to extend Zero Trust security to every edge for secure anywhere, anytime access for all users and devices, regardless of their location." The enhanced partnership will allow ALE to expand its support across cloud-based, on-premises, and hybrid deployment models, with particular attention to Zero Trust principles. Both companies emphasise the ability to cater to the growing demand for secure, scalable, and manageable network infrastructures, especially as remote and flexible work models become increasingly common. Focus areas ALE continues to focus on offering secure networking solutions that are compliant with national and international data protection requirements. The company's approach is structured around three pillars: Environment Sustainability, Social Responsibility, and Corporate Governance. Through these, ALE aims to develop technology solutions with minimal environmental impact and high compliance standards. Both ALE and Versa intend for their continued collaboration to provide value to customers in industries requiring robust security and reliable network performance. Follow us on: Share on:
