Marine habitat mapping and Ocean exploration

Alcatel, a company that provides networks for telecommunication carriers and Internet service providers in 130 countries, will design, manufacture and install the infrastructure for NEPTUNE, a joint Canada-U.S. science project. Alcatel has been awarded a $39-million contract by the University of Victoria to wire together an undersea observatory off the West Coast. This represents more than half of NEPTUNE Canada's $62-million total base funding.
