Huawei to expand R&D in India
108009
(InfoWorld) - Chinese networking equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co. is expanding its R&D (research and development) in India with a new center in Bangalore for the development of optical network products and wireless LAN technologies. Huawei, of Shenzhen, already has two centers in Bangalore, which has the company's largest R&D operation outside China. Huawei employs about 1,200 engineers in Bangalore, and is adding another 150 by year end, J. Gilbert, a spokesman for Huawei in India said Thursday. Huawei's other development centers are in Sweden, Russia, and the U.S., Gilbert said. The centers in Bangalore focus on next generation networks, data communication, telecom middleware, network management, intelligent networks, mobile handset, server, security and optical networks, the company said. "We had a small team working on optical network, but as it has expanded we are setting up a separate facility for it," Gilbert said. Huawei will have about 180 engineers at the new facility, some of whom will work on the company's Optix series of intelligent optical network products. The new facility will also house a team doing software development in wireless LANs, with a focus on wireless switch and wireless access point products. Huawei has invested $100 million in its development centers in Bangalore. It plans to invest another $100 million by the end of 2008. The new investment is primarily to set up its own integrated campus in Bangalore, Gilbert said. The company currently operates out of rented premises. Huawei's plan to invest $60 million to set up manufacturing in India has, however, not yet been cleared by the Indian government, Gilbert said. The proposal from Huawei, submitted in March 2005, is reportedly under scrutiny by government intelligence agencies for security reasons.

(InfoWorld) - Palm announced Wednesday that it would launch its Treo 680 handheld in China, and increase its presence in the Chinese market by opening a research and development (R&D) center there. The company said the smartphone will be sold in cooperation with CEC Telecom Science and Technology Co. , and distributed by Beijing Riverwill Communication Technology Co. The 680, designed to be a lower-cost alternative to other Treo models, runs the Palm operating system. It is a candybar-style quad-band GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) phone that supports GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution), which allow for mobile Internet access. PDAs have not yet made their mark in China, although they are growing in popularity, mostly thanks to aggressive pushes by manufacturers such as Lenovo Group, Dopod International, and Motorola, all of which have tailored their devices to the local market. One key design factor is recognition of handwritten Chinese characters. Palm said it is opening its first Asia R&D center in Shanghai for Asian language localization, to maintain better relations with its manufacturers in the region, and to accelerate time to market for its products in Asia.
