Complete telecom solutions are always much popular among the world's telecom operators, so the company will attach more importance to perfecting its product lines in the future.
The Shenzhen-based company gained a partnership with the world's networking giant 3Com by setting up a joint venture four years ago.
However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 3Com bought out Huawei's 49 percent stake in the Huawei-3Com (H3C) joint venture for USD 882 million last November, making the venture its fully-owned subsidiary.
