Nokia Siemens Network opened an innovation center on Friday to
develop software technologies.
The Innovation Software Park covers 22,000 square meters of a
state-level high-tech industrialization zone in Hangzhou, a scenic
city in east China's Zhejiang Province.
More than 600 employees will carry out research in solutions for
2.5G, 3G, Wimax and I-HSPA mobile telecommunication technologies as
well as develop relative software platforms, according to David Ho,
president of Nokia Siemens Greater China Region.
It's the second largest wireless technology research base
established by the world's leading network telecommunication
company following the one in Finland.
Nokia Siemens Network is a joint venture between Finland's Nokia
and Germany's Siemens. It ranked second in the world's wireless
network market and telecom service market, and the third in the
world's cable network market.
The company's net sales in the Great China Region reached 372
million euros in the third quarter of this year, up 26 percent on
the second quarter. The company now has six research and
development centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Chengdu, Shenzhen
and Hangzhou.
