2/14/2008, It is not the first time I heard about this, but only this time I can confirm its existence. This is the research institute of Huawei in Wuhan, a city who has the name of optical valley in China. Wuhan is also the hometown of Fiberhome, the No. 3 fiberoptics equipment manufacture in China and many important components manufactures like WTD, HG Genuine.
Wuhan Research Institute (WRI) introduced the first commercial fiber system in China. And since Huawei entered this field, many engineers of Huawei are from Wuhan. But for a long time, Huawei didn’t need to set up a R&D office in Wuhan. Why today they change their mind?
I can’t fully understand the decision of Huawei this time. I wonder their aim is to lower their R&D cost further, also they hope to attract more engineers from Fiberhome and WRI. Fiberhome and WRI has some advantage on 40Gbps application and DWDM technology compared to Huawei.
Another reason, maybe Huawei hopes to attract more component engineers. I need further information to confirm this. Before Wuhan, Huawei has set up a R&D office in Chengdu. They competite with Alcatel Bell there on SDH system engineers.

Actually,You are right. Huawei is going to produce 2.5G/10G TRX instead of outsourcing. The prototype is ready.
Does anyone know if they design their on chips? -jc
