Research and Markets: China Equipment Market Strategies And Forecasts,



RELATED SYMBOLS: (SI)

Jan 14, 2003 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Chinese markets for
telecommunications equipment were $17.3 billion in 2000. As markets are shifting
away from fixed line communications systems to wireless ones, DWDM will remain
strong because of the increased capacity it offers. Routers will grow to support
the shift to voice over IP. Soft switches will emerge that provide circuit
switch capability on reliable computer server UNIX boxes. Siemens has a very
sophisticated soft switch.

Chinese fixed line equipment markets at $7.9 billion in 2000 are expected to
reach 10.3 billion by 2006.

The portability and convenience of wireless coupled with lower infrastructure
costs and quicker time to install are driving growth of wireless markets in
China. Wireless markets in China at $9.4 billion in 2000 are expected to double
to $18.2 billion by 2006.

Do not get left behind. Understanding the phenomenal potential for growth in
Chinese equipment markets is key to business success.
