Huawei ZTE competes with China 3G first equipment maker

Ma Xiaofang Although in the global telecommunications market, Huawei and ZTE are always known as Chinese telecommunications equipment providers, are seen as the biggest competitors of foreign equipment companies.　　But in the Chinese market, the competition between Huawei and ZTE is also becoming more intense, almost each other's biggest competitor.　　There is no denying the fact that when we look back at the 2009-year performance of the equipment maker, the importance of the Chinese market has increased markedly due to the slowdown in the international market.　　According to the director of the company's wireless division in the media interview revealed that Huawei in China's local CDMA market share reached 40.4%, in TD three tender share of close to 40%,WCDMA market share of more than 30%, higher than the second-ranked manufacturers near 10%.　　Huawei Wireless product line President Wan Yu said that in the upcoming China Mobile TD Four bidding, Huawei is expected to continue to take a 40% share, and WCDMA market share of 30% is far lower than expected, Huawei "originally expected to be higher." But ZTE apparently disagrees.　　Soon after Huawei released the figures, ZTE cited research firm ISUPPLI's new study, "China Mobile market Equipment market research," pointing out that the 2009 new network capacity exceeded 1.5 million carrier, 3G Cumulative network capacity of more than 2.2 million carrier. "ZTE and Huawei ranked the top two in China's total 3G market share, with a share of 35% and 33% per cent, respectively. ZTE made it clear in its press release.　　ZTE, it is clear, believes that ZTE, which is only 2% per cent higher than Huawei, is the 3G's largest market share in China, in terms of its comprehensive share. If subdivided into various product lines, ZTE points out that ZTE remains the largest share holders in CDMA2000 and TD construction. ZTE's share of the CDMA2000 is up to 42.4%, with TD staying at more than 34%.　　ZTE also received the largest share of the WCDMA fourth bidding, with equipment covering 108 cities, but ZTE did not provide WCDMA overall market share. In China's 3G market, with the exception of Huawei and ZTE, few of the other major equipment companies have the power to compete with one another.　　The third in China's 3G market, according to Isuppli, is Alcatel-Lucent, but only 8%, followed by Datang 7%, Ericsson 6% and Nokia Siemens 5%.　　Who is China's 3G boss? From the data provided by Huawei and ZTE, we can see that the share of Huawei and ZTE should be evenly matched in the CDMA market, with a gap of only one or two percentage points.　　The dispute lies in TD and WCDMA market share. In TD and WCDMA, ZTE and Huawei are almost "flowers open two, each table": ZTE in the overall market share of TD, and Huawei in the WCDMA market share above.　　Only so far, reporters have not found more statistics than isuppli to prove. To be sure, whateverHuawei or ZTE, in fact, has become the biggest beneficiary of China's 3G start-up, and has greatly narrowed the gap with foreign equipment companies, but the rivalry between Huawei and ZTE has become more nuanced. ZTE, although not released 2009 years of performance, but in its performance forecasts, the 2009 is expected to achieve net profit of 2.374 billion yuan ~25.9 billion, year-on-year growth 43%~56%.　　One of the main reasons for the growth in performance is the increase in domestic market share. Of course, the gap between ZTE and Huawei is still apparent if the overall sales are calculated.　　2008 ZTE Sales revenue of 44.293 billion yuan, still less than tens of billions of dollars, but the gap between the two is likely to be due to the changes in China's 3G and narrowed, on the other hand, the gap is greatly reduced, the distance between Huawei and foreign equipment manufacturers. Nokia's recent results show Nokia Siemens achieved sales of € 12.574 billion in 2009, about 17.435 billion U.S. dollars, down 17%.　　That means Huawei has successfully surpassed NSN in 2009 with 21.5 billion of dollars in sales. Ericsson previously announced sales revenue of SEK 206.5 billion, about 28.6 billion U.S. dollars. Alcatel-Lucent has not yet announced its results, But its 2008 sales were 16.984 billion euros, 23.55 billion of dollars, so it was not possible to determine the 2009 performance compared with Huawei, but Huawei has been successfully in 2009 to upgrade a step, no doubt become one of the world's top three equipment providers, and may even be promoted to runner-up.
