Datang Telecom Technology Co. Ltd. (DTT), a large-scale high- tech enterprise from China, has sent an exhibition team to the Techno Pre-Eminence -- Connectivity Indonesia 2002 with a mission of grabbing a share of Indonesia's telecommunications market.
"By taking part in Techno Pre-Eminence -- Connectivity Indonesia 2002, Datang Telecom will do its best to enter the Indonesian market," said Wang Pei, the leader of the exhibition team.
Techno Pre-Eminence -- Connectivity Indonesia 2002 is a four- day event for an international exhibition and conference on information and communication technology (ICT), which is to open at the Jakarta Convention Center on Monday.
Wang, who is also the project manager of DTT's international department, said that her company, in cooperation with its local partner, PT Netwave Maju Abadi, aimed to provide advanced equipment, technology and services for the construction of Indonesia's telecommunications projects.
At this week's exhibition, she said, her company would focus on the promotion of its optical transmission equipment.
The products to be exhibited were the TranSmartTM Series Optical Transmission Equipment, Network Access Equipment, Private Line Access Equipment and Ethernet Switch (desktop), she said.
The TranSmartTM Series Optical Transmission Equipment consisted of SDH Optical Transmission System (STM-16 rack type) and SDH Optical Transmission System (STM-1 desktop), while the Network Access Equipment included LinkMasterA-100TM ADSL Equipment (desktop). The Private Line Access Equipment would include the SCAPCM PCM Desktop Equipment (desktop).
"Besides that, Datang Telecom will also introduce its microwave equipment, switching systems and other products to potential Indonesian buyers," Wang added.
Apart from microwave equipment, switching systems, DTT's main products also include transmission equipment, network access equipment, mobile communications systems, data communications equipment, software and microelectronics.
DTT, which was established by scholars who graduated from U.S. universities and is affiliated to an academy, offers products with a competitive edge not only in terms of price but also in quality, because its products are developed through research and development.
DTT was founded through investment capital and mainly initiated by the China Academy of Telecommunications Technology (CATT) from the Ministry of Information Industry. CATT, the controlling shareholder of the company, was founded in 1957 and is the largest professional research institution of telecommunications technology with the strongest R&D capability and widest R&D fields. It has been shouldering the task of innovations and developments in the field of information and communications technology.
The company began as the Xi'an Datang Telephone Corporation, a joint venture between CATT, the l0th Research Institute of the MPT and International Telephone and Teledata, Inc. (ITTI), a company begun by a group of Chinese scholars in the United States. Thus, DTT is a high-tech telecommunications company formed through the strength of a national research institute, coupled with the expertise of Chinese scholars studying abroad.
On Aug. 7, l998, DTT issued a total of l00 million A-share stocks on the Shanghai Stock Exchange at 5.98 yuan per share, out of which 75 million shares were sold to the public, l5 million to funds, and l0 million to employees. The company held an opening ceremony on Aug. 28, l998, and registered itself in Beijing's Haidian New Technology Development and Trial Zone on Sept. 2l, l998. One month later, the company issued public shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
DTT has thus far presented a series of state of the art and world-level products in such fields as mobile communications systems and equipment, large capacity SPC switches, optical communications equipment, digital microwave equipment, full- service access network equipment, telecommunications software and systems integration, and integrated circuits.
It has also opened up new service fields like system integrations and telecommunications VAS. During the following two years since the company was listed on the stock exchange, the company has obtained 41 network entry certificates from the Ministry of Information Industry, nine from the Broadcasting and Telecommunications Ministry and 13 from the military.
Facing the tide of whole world economic integration and the challenge of China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), DTT seeks to expand its business, select and unite the outstanding cooperation with other manufacturers, establish strategic cooperation alliances, reduce operating costs, strengthen its competition ability and resist market risks.
DTT, therefore, is inviting communications electronics (software and hardware) suppliers, as well as producing and processing manufacturers, for cooperation with mutual benefits.
DTT boasts its strength on its high concern for R&D. It uses the majority of its investment capital as funding for key projects and 10 percent of its revenues for R&D activities. Employees engaged in R&D account for 4l percent of the company's total staff.
