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.
