Telecommunications equipment maker Lucent Technologies has announced a ‘phone-casting’ service to let cellular phone users surf the internet using voice commands. Lucent also put its power systems unit up for sale to get rid of operating units that are not part of its core product and market strategy.

Lucent is focusing on developing demand for its wireless communications and internet equipment. “The decision to sell our power systems business is part of Lucent’s ongoing effort to sharpen its focus on its core business — communications networking and providing internet infrastructure, while better leveraging our capital and R&D investment,” said John Dickson, head of Lucent’s Microelectronics and Communications Technologies unit.
