(InfoWorld) - Cisco Systems has entered into a partnership with Haier, the largest manufacturer of large home appliances in China, that will allow the companies to work together on a number of projects, including information infrastructure and home networking systems. The partnership, announced Tuesday, will also give the companies the opportunity to share best practices in areas such as investments and financial management and controls, Cisco said in a news release. The two companies will work together on a "broad range" of projects in China and other markets outside the United States, Cisco said. A Cisco spokesman in the United States declined to answer questions about the deal, saying Cisco had "no further details to share at this point." Haier, the fourth-largest "white goods" manufacturer worldwide, is working to expand its brand outside China, Cisco said. Haier, with about 50,000 employees, has entered the networked appliance market in the past two years. Haier is a Cisco customer in China. Haier believes it is "necessary to take advantage of Cisco's business practices as a model for efficient international expansion," particularly in network-reliant areas such as customer service, Zhang Ruimin, Haier's CEO, said in a statement. Cisco will share its experience in using networking technologies to improve corporate competitiveness, added Thomas Lam, president of Cisco China. At a conference earlier this month, Cisco officials suggested that the company plans toÂ focus more of its efforts on the consumer market. The company also sees opportunity in developing countries, officials said.

(InfoWorld) - AT&TÂ is positioning itself to become a key provider of global communication services in China, India and Vietnam, three of the world's fastest growing economies, executives said at a telecommunications event in Hong Kong. "China is the fastest growing market for AT&T," Ronald Spears, senior vice of business sales at AT&T Global Services, said Tuesday during a news conference at Telecom World. "We're not only supporting businesses going into China but increasingly Chinese companies that require global communication services." AT&T remains the only foreign telecommunications company to have an equity stake in a local operator, Unisiti, a joint venture with China TelecommunicationsÂ (China Telecom) that provides broadband IP (Internet Protocol) services, according to Spears. In mainland China, the U.S. company operates four nodes that support services such as ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), VPN (virtual private network), and frame relay in addition to IP. Additional nodes are in Hong Kong and Taipei. India, AT&T's second fastest growing market, generates the most business for the company in the Asia-Pacific region, according to Spears. And the company is taking steps to further increase its business in the country where businesses that offer outsourcing services are generating huge demand for communication services. Last month, AT&T became the first foreign telecommunications company to receive licenses for national long distance and international long distance telephone services in India. Early next year, newly formed AT&T India plans to provide VPN services to multinational corporations, IT-enabled service companies and business process outsourcing providers in the country, according to Steve Lowe, vice president of AT&T Asia Pacific. Last month in Vietnam, AT&T agreed to partner with Vietel to offer local enterprises and an increasing number of multinational companies VPN and frame relay services, with plans to introduce additional services in the near future. Currently, AT&T serves more than 1,000 corporate customers in the Asia-Pacific region, with more than 33 nodes in 14 markets. Telecom World, which is organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a United Nations agency, runs through Friday.
