I would like to find contact details for any manufacturer of the above
type of equipment.
Their  product range needs to be similar (but not necessarily
identical)to the world market leader Polycom of the USA.
It would be advantageous if the researcher could read Chinese
characters as I suspect the web sites required will be geared to the
local Chinese market.

Request for Question Clarification by webadept-ga on 02 Jan 2003 08:17 PST

Hi,

I'm working on your question, and needed to ask something. You only
wish to have mainland China contacts? no Taiwan or Hong Kong or
anything else, just inside mainland China?

Thanks,

Hi, 

Here is the list I have found :


Huawei

Established in 1988, Huawei Technologies is a high-tech enterprise
which specializes in research and development (R&D), production and
marketing of communications equipment, providing customized network
solutions for telecom carriers in optical, fixed, mobile and data
communications networks. Huawei's customers include China Telecom,
China Mobile, China Unicom, China Netcom as well as Thai AIS, South
Korea Telecom, SingTel, Hutchison Global Crossing, PCCW, Telemar
(Brazil), etc.

Huawei's products can be divided into the following categories: fixed
network, mobile network, data communications and optical network ---
ranging from switching, optical transmission, intelligent network,
support network, GSM, GPRS, W-CDMA, cdma2000 1x, videoconferencing to
other key telecom technology fields. Most important of all, Huawei
products are based on its independently designed ASIC chips. Its ASIC
designing capability is among the most advanced in this field
worldwide. This allows Huawei to consider the needs of its customers
from start to finish, from the chip to the network.

Of these two, Huawei is reportedly the most technologically
sophisticated. I have a few emails sent out to various manufactures of
components needed to manufacture video conferencing equipment and if I
get a response which lists other companies I will post them here as
well.


Thanks,
