Re: They make crappy printers
how many people will an ad on CNBC generate to the FNTN
website? And, how many people in the 'real world' have a clue as to what Siemens is ? They make crappy printers that attach to a mainframe and/or LAN (IMO, of course !, but i DO speak from experience with them pieces of junk), and they do many many other things. Just like GE does...
Fred,
People who may view an FNTN Ad on CNBC know who and what Seimens is. What has that got to do with people in the real world and FNTN.
Siemens has many divisions around the world and they look like GE
Energy * Industry * Information and Communications
Health Care * Transportation * Components * Lighting
Financial-Services * Household-Appliances
But let's just take a look inside Information & Communications, besides being a dominant player in ADSL from Chips to Systems and Deployment. That's just my two cents not mentioned below.
Specializing in the design and installation of operator and business
phone networks of all sizes, Siemens is a systems house offering a complete portfolio of solutions and services in the converging
worlds of voice, data and mobile communications for customers in industry, business and public administration.
Siemens' broad spectrum of products and its comprehensive expertise make it one of the world's leading sources of integrated systems and solutions for all information and communications infrastructure networks.
Siemens is one of the world's three top providers of carrier and enterprise networks. In the digital switching and communication systems sector, its EWSD and Hicom products lead the market. The group also ranks among the world's leading installers of mobile phone networks.
The EWSD InterNode fully integrates the Internet with telephone networks. HiNet RC3000 integrates real-time voice communication into existing LAN structures via Internet protocols. Other innovations include the TransWave WL8, a transmission system for boosting the capacity of existing fiber-optic cables eight-fold, and the Telephony Internet Server in the Hicom-Xpress family, which enables business telephone networks to access the Internet for transmitting voice, data and video.

Information and Communication Products
The first DECT mobile videophone combines a digital cordless handset with a miniature video camera and a high-resolution color display.
With over fifteen million terminals sold, the Gigaset cordless phone family is the world's most successful digital cordless system. Siemens' range of mobile phones, based on the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) world standard, covers the full product spectrum - from low-end to luxury models. Siemens videophones, featuring state-of-the-art ISDN technology, are being marketed by Deutsche Telekom.
Siemens is the number one vendor of personal computers in Germany and ranks fifth in Europe.
Highly complex functions such as computer-aided design, simulation and animation are the strength of SCENIC Celsius workstations. The group also produces a wide spectrum of servers, ranging from workgroup systems to support project teams and entire departments to high-end systems used in computer centers.
Siemens Nixdorf Retail and Banking Systems GmbH, an independent subsidiary, is Germany's largest provider of point-of-sale and self-service systems and ranks second in the European market. The group is also one of the largest producers of communications cables and cable accessories, turning out over seven million kilometers a year together with partners Corning, the U.S. fiber-optic specialist.
The group's IT service business, a legally independent joint venture operated together with Siemens Business Services, is Germany's largest - and Europe's second largest - provider of information technology services. Its success is based on the close integration of product-related services and value-added services, such as roll-out projects, project implementation, and IT operations.

market someday FNTN will be in. Thanks to who? oh yes, Siemens!
