Cisco Systems plans to have one-fifth of its top executives in India by 2012, in line with its plan to make India the hub for the development of technologies and new business models for emerging markets.The company expects 60 to 70 percent of its growth to come from emerging markets, John Chambers, the company&#39;s chairman and CEO, said in Bangalore at the inauguration of the company&#39;s Globalisation Centre East campus. The new center will work with partners in the Middle East, Africa, China, Asia, and Latin America on developing technologies for these markets.While emerging markets are growing at between 5 and 10 percent, markets in developed countries are growing at just 1 to 4 percent, according to various estimates, Chambers said.The company&#39;s plan to have senior vice presidents, vice presidents, and directors, cutting across all corporate functions, in India is not aimed at cutting costs, but at nurturing talent in India, said Wim Elfrink, chief globalization officer for Cisco, who also heads the new center.Cisco currently employs about 3,000 staff in India, which it plans to increase to 10,000 by 2010. The new center, which currently has 900 staff, is expected to grow to 3,500 staff by October next year, said Elfrink. Some of the technologies developed in India will be rolled out in other emerging economies, and also in developed countries, he added.Cisco also announced Tuesday a collaboration with Indian outsourcer Satyam Computer Services, of Hyderabad, to focus on software for handling medical distress situations and other health management applications. Cisco plans to take a minority interest in the venture, details of which were not disclosed. Health care is one instance of Cisco&#39;s strategy to use India as base for technology and applications that can be deployed worldwide, Chambers said.The company announced in 2005 that it would&#160;invest $1.1 billion in India&#160;over three years, including $750 million in research and development (R&amp;D), $100 million in customer support, and $100 million in a venture fund. The planned investment is on track, Chambers told reporters in Delhi on Monday.Chambers announced Tuesday that the company was increasing the size of the venture fund by $100 million. The venture fund will be focused on &quot;disruptive technologies,&quot; Chambers said.

(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) - Silicon Valley will get a homegrown Wi-Fi network from Cisco Systems to provide Internet access in metropolitan areas spread across about 1,500 square miles. The Wireless Silicon Valley Task Force chose a group led by Cisco and IBM to build and operate the network, which will cover areas between the southern border of San Francisco and Santa Cruz, and from the Pacific inland to the opposite side of San Francisco Bay. Cisco will provide the infrastructure and IBM will be the master system integrator for the project. Their team, called Silicon Valley Metro Connect, also includes Azulstar Networks, which will be the service provider operating the network, and SeaKay, a nonprofit that will help get disadvantaged residents online. As municipalities around the world jump on the public Wi-Fi bandwagon, the Silicon Valley project takes a high profile because of both its location in a legendary high-tech region and its sheer size. Although Silicon Valley Metro Connect's current plans wouldn't cover the entire region, large parts of which are lightly populated or undeveloped, the project has gotten sign-in from 42 municipalities. A notable exception is Mountain View, which has its ownÂ city Wi-Fi networkÂ provided by hometown giant Google. Silicon Valley Metro Connect is now entering into negotiations with the task force, said Alan Cohen, senior director of mobility solutions at Cisco. There will probably be a wide variety of services and business models, including paid service, free Internet access and use of the network by government agencies, he said. The first parts of the network should be up and running in the fourth quarter, Cohen said, but he described the whole project as a "multi-year effort." The offering will focus initially on outdoor coverage in populated areas of cities, though some users may be able to reach the network from indoors. The company envisions a network that uses 802.11b/g to connect with users' notebook PCs and other devices and 802.11a, with directional antennas, for meshed backhaul links to wired networks. It will use a wireless LAN switch model with lightweight access points that are centrally controlled. Wider-range WiMax technology could come into play later, Cohen said. Cisco, IBM, and SeaKay also were behind a proposal for San Francisco's planned Wi-Fi network. There, theyÂ lost out to Google and EarthLinkÂ in April, but the group said it would compete for municipal wireless projects around the country under the Metro Connect banner.
