Alcatel Lucent, a world leader in fixed, mobile and converged broadband networking, IP technologies, applications and services, is to cut 200 jobs at its site located at Battipaglia, in the province of Naples.

Alcatel Lucent operates in 130 countries and it has more than 77,000 employees worldwide.
