Huawei to up investment in India, eyeing 4G LTE services roll out

Telecom Lead India: Chinese
telecom equipment major Huawei will increase investment and operation in India,
eyeing 4G LTE services roll out in India.

At present, the company supplies telecom equipment to mobile
operators such as Reliance Communications and Tata Teleservices.

Huawei to invest more in European telecom markets

Recently, Huawei said it is framing strategies to strengthen
its focus in Europe. The Chinese telecom equipment maker identified Europe as
one of the important markets for future development. Huawei is planning to up
its investment in Europe and focus on establishing more partnerships with
European firms.

 The revenue generation of Huawei India in 2011 was
$1.2 billion. Huawei set a target of 40 percent growth in revenues from India
in 2012.

4G services are being rolled out in India. Huawei is scaling
up India operation in terms of man power, technology and investment. The 4G
services are likely to be rolled out in some of the Indian cities later this
year.

Huawei claims that the company has 45 percent market share
in providing equipment and services to Indian telecom operators and now it
wants to further consolidate its presence in India.

The telecom major is setting up a new campus for its
research and development centre in Bangalore at an investment of $150 million.

The R&D centre of Huawei in Bangalore, which has around
2,000 employees, is one of the company’s 17 R&D centers across the world
and it provides technology solutions to various markets across the world.

Indian market is very important for the company and that is
why we are further expanding our investment. At present the company has over
6,000 employees in India, out of which 95 per cent are Indians,” said Scott
Sykes, vice president of Global Media Affairs, Huawei.
