Western Electric rootsSince Avaya is a company spun off from Lucent Technologies, itself a spinoff of AT&T, Avaya continues to sell and support well-known telephone models for businesses that were made popular in the heyday of the Bell System, including the 2554 wall phone, and the 2500 series desk phone, both popular Western Electric models.Avaya telephone production at the Shreveport Works, a former Western Electric payphone plant, ceased in 2001. All of Avaya's telephones are made outside the U.S. by contract manufacturers such as Celestica Much of Avaya's product and customer set today can be traced back to its AT&T legacy where it formed part of AT&T Network Systems.
