Who leads 40Gbps Market in China?
8/15/2008, several days ago, Huawei is reported to win the first 40Gbps equipment bid in China Telecom. Huawei will provide 40Gbps equipments for China Telecom's Shanghai-Wuxi transmission system. The news invoked hot disscussions in some telecom online forum in China.
The focus of the discussion is not about 40Gbps technology or market, but it is about Huawei's recruiting policy from fiberhome in Wuhan.
Why people cares about Fiberhome? Because in 40Gbps field, It is them, not Huawei, who made the first field deployment in China. Their 40Gbps project is part of China's national 863 hi-tech project, and they began the R&D on 40Gbps equipments early than Huawei.
When Fiberhome invested in 40Gpbs, Huawei still thought that was a futuere project. Today, everyboday knows 40Gpbs market is mature, then we suddenly find Huawei is leading again.
it was said many fiberhome's R&D engineers left for Huawei, that is maybe the reason behind Huawei's success in 40Gbps. But nobody can give evidence that Huawei's 40Gbps technology is from Fiberhome.
Maybe fiberhome is little heard overseas, as a state-hold company, it has longer history, better R&D resources than Huawei in some field. But Huawei's advantage is that they can grab all the necessary resources they need in the right time.

TD Experience on Beijing Olympics
8/11/2008, To provide 3G service is a promise the Beijing Olympic committee made before the games, now How about the performance of China's TD-SCDMA?
A local reporter wrote in his article:” I tried several times to enter the mobile TV channel, it once stopped work temperately because of too many users, when I can enter the channel, the video quality is still not good enough, sometimes there are delay and buffering. "
Beijing Mobile said the poor video quality this reporter met maybe because of the poor network quality and the moving speed at that time.
An engineer in Beijing Mobile pointed out that today's TD-SCDMA can only provide 85Kbps bandwidth, only when they upgrade to TD-HSDPA and when they provide 1Mbps bandwidth, the video quality can be guaranteed.
During the games, Beijing Mobile provides 100K TD handsets to volunteers and 200K to overseas traveller for renting service.

8/5/2008， One of the largest optical component company in China, Accelink(Wuhan)’s IPO was approved by CSRC(China Securities Regulatory Commission). They can go public in Shenzhen small and middle sized stock market as early as this September. Accelink is the first company who successfully goes public this year in Hubei Province.

According to Accelink, they are the No. 11 biggest optical component manufactures around the world, whose revenue last year was about 487million RMB. Their main products are optical amplifiers, fiber connectors and WDM components.
Accelink’s products have been purchased by Fiberhome, Huawei and ZTE. They also sell their products in US market through themselves and some distributors. They also have some big OEM partner in US.
Wuhan Research Institute is the largest shareholder of Accelink. Zhongtian, a fiber cable public manufacture in China is the second largest shareholder of them.
Accelink will initiate 40million shares this time. We predict they can get 200 to 300 million RMB through the IPO. How will they use this money? Accelink didn’t give the answer. But It is very possible that they try to merge with their brother company WTD using this money. WTD is a transceiver company with nearly 28 years history. Corning once was WTD’s shareholder, but later they sold all their shares back to Wuhan Research Institute. The gossip about the merge of two component companies under Wuhan Research Institute has been spread for many years. We can’t see any obstacles for this merge after the IPO. After the merge, they will be certainly the largest optical component company in China. And they really have the ability to enter the top 10 fiber optics company around the world.
