HUAWEI and 3Com are done background premise of cooperation has not existed

"HUAWEI 3Com will be sold to the United States Juniper company"!

This is That's final., expected to do, or make groundless accusations and groundless statement?

Cooperation has no value, or HUAWEI President Ren Zhengfei again capital operation? ?

HUAWEI 3Com is headquartered in Hangzhou.

Soon, the company's name will change.

HUAWEI 3Com former chairman Bruce Claflin told the public: the joint venture in the first day has created value, when the HUAWEI 3Com was founded less than 30 days.

HUAWEI 3Com process

March 20, 2003, HUAWEI announced the establishment of a joint venture with HUAWEI 3Com, joint research and development, production and sales of data communications products. In November of the same year, the joint venture was formally established, of which 3Com invested $160 million in cash, its business in China and Japan, another $100 thousand, shares of $49%. HUAWEI with its existing switches, routers, coupled with sales, marketing, engineering resources and personnel, priced at $178 million 200 thousand, shares 51%. Bruce Claflin, executive director of 3Com as the new chairman of the company, HUAWEI President Ren Zhengfei was appointed CEO of the new company. According to the sales agreement, 3Com company sells its products by HUAWEI 3Com joint venture in North America and other international markets except China and japan.

November 2, 2005, 3Com to 51% stake in HUAWEI 3Com. 3Com promises that the original more than and 20 countries, including North American markets, will be open to HUAWEI by 3Com.

January 2006, Scott Murray (R.Scott Murray) to replace Bruce Claflin, chairman of HUAWEI 3Com joint venture.

HUAWEI 3Com will be sold to the United States Juniper company that is That's final! The initial offer is about $1 billion 700 million. The news will be announced in the second half of this year." Recently, the reporter received more than informed sources reported, saying it was from HUAWEI 3Com internal news.

When reporters call a market rumors of HUAWEI 3Com's head of mobile phone, mobile phone was transferred to the Secretary of Taiwan, the reporter message, as of press time, has not received. "We are not going to give any comment on the matter, and we will not give any positive response," said a woman at Juniper's marketing department. If you want to publish anything, we will be in a very public way, a unified release of a lot of media, and not alone with a media said."

Reporters on the matter asked CISCO China Public Relations Department, he first "ah" to express surprise. When asked about the matter of CISCO in the Chinese market, he said "it is not an established fact. If the comments are not fair to friends. In addition, we never evaluate our competitors, so we will not make any comments."

When the reporter interviewed several telecommunications analysts, some people feel normal, some people think that no matter purely make groundless accusations. After calling a senior executive at HUAWEI 3Com, Chen Nan, an analyst with Sheng Telecom consulting, told reporters that the executive denied that there was anything like this, "because he was having dinner and said he would explain to me later". Chen Nan said: "there can be no such thing. If things are clear words, we should be aware of, will pay attention to this matter."

Cooperation background, the premise does not exist?

Yu Zhangkun, a consultant at the telecom consulting firm, was not surprised by the rumor, "in February and March, we were talking about it, and I thought it was OK.". This merger is also a big trend."

March 20, 2003, HUAWEI announced the establishment of a joint venture with HUAWEI 3Com, joint research and development, production and sales of data communications products. At that time, the two companies did not hold a press conference on the matter, but to the relevant reporters issued a title for Sino US communications companies to achieve win-win cooperation, HUAWEI and 3Com joint venture, the press release. This press release about 1500 words, contains a lot of information:

Joint venture by HUAWEI holdings, HUAWEI will be in the existing low-end routers, Ethernet switch business and related assets invested, 3Com company in cash and its Chinese market operations into a new company."

"In the 9 months of contact, negotiation, 3Com, especially in the low-end router, Ethernet switch to HUAWEI, and the source program, the source code of conduct detailed due diligence, the result is positive."

"3Com company in North America, Europe and other regions, HUAWEI in China has a complete direct sales, distribution network and a good brand, reputation. This cooperation will help HUAWEI to enter the international market more quickly and more widely, and to make 3Com enter the Chinese market with great potential and reduce the cost of market expansion."

The above is the official explanation. In fact, the industry's general view is that 3Com has always wanted to work with HUAWEI, but HUAWEI is not very active. Until January 2003 CISCO launched intellectual property litigation against HUAWEI, HUAWEI began to consider the establishment of a joint venture to open the international market curve, which led to the two marriages.

Today, the lawsuit has been in the past, HUAWEI has also found in Europe, North America, SIEMENS, Nortel and other more powerful partners. HUAWEI and 3Com cooperation background, the premise is no longer exists, I think more than
