The second regional headquarters for the Gulf and Levant will be established in Dubai Media City by Huawei Technologies, one of the largest Chinese suppliers of telecom and networking equipment. Vice President for the Middle East and North Africa at Huawei, Wang Jiading, stated in an interview that his company is competing with local and foreign firms for contracts with Emirates Integrated Telecommunication Co (EITC), the second telecom operator in the United Arab Emirates.
“The telecoms company has experienced outstanding growth in the region since it started operations in 2001, in keeping with Huawei’s aim to build its regional network. Currently, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) market include 20 branches spread throughout 28 nations “Jiading said.
“For the top telecoms provider Etisalat, we created the first commercial 3G application in the area. We still have many technology ideas for the area. This year, we are working on ground-breaking projects with Saudi Telecom, Egypt, Algeria, and Iraq “Jiading stated. Jiading pointed out that Huawei operates more than 4,800 optical network sets in the area and has more than 9.5 million GSM/CDMA subscribers.
According to Huawei’s vice president, “we won $1 billion in sales contracts from the MENA area in 2005, and our global contract sales reached $8.2 billion, reflecting year-over-year growth of over 40%.” Jiading claimed that the rise is due to the market’s ongoing expansion in the product categories of terminals, optical networks, data communications, wireless mobile networks, and next-generation networks (NGN).
The business has more than 15 spare parts warehouses in the area, and this year it will construct a regional distribution hub for spare parts in the UAE. The business will set up training facilities all around the area. One is already running there, in Egypt. As regional telecom providers broaden their reach into Africa, Asia, and Europe, he continued, “Africa is an important market for Huawei.”
In a Frost & Sullivan study, Huawei came in second place for the amount of UMTS contracts it won in 2005. “We regularly inform our clients on the most recent technological advancements so they may make wise decisions for their businesses and clients. We will increase our spending on research and development as well as wireless terminals in 2006 “Added he.
