On the Indian Market

With urban markets more than saturated, the telecom industry has its eyes set on India’s villages, which have a teledensity of about 26%. For decades, rural India has been plagued by problems of poor infrastructure. These challenges can be significantly overcome by WiMax technologies, unleashing opportunities in the various sectors. Huawei has been promoting the use of WiMAX to meet the global demand for broadband. Huawei’s WiMAX strategy is therefore clearly based on continuous long-term investment. As long ago as 2000, Huawei began research on 802.16 technology in 2000. For the better part of a decade, the Company has evidenced strong commitment to persistent innovation in support of WiMAX.

Positive about Future

We believe the WiMAX is experiencing fast development and maturity, since last year.

Based on our flexible global strategies, by the end of December 2010, Huawei had signed approximately 75 WiMAX contracts globally and 2 in India - BSNL rural and BSNL urban in Rajasthan. Confident in our ability to assist operators realize ever greater business goals, we will spare no efforts in continuing our support of WiMAX.

2011 will be a year of network modernization and we are very excited about this opportunity. With our global leadership in building the next generation transport, we are collaborating with service providers and providing tailored transport solutions.
