Michael, All >LU & China, Lucent Sees Bigger Potential in China's Data Network Xinhua English Newswire The biggest problem facing China's telecommunications industry is how to raise the efficiency of the existing network in order to generate higher returns on investment, an expert from [ Lucent Technologies ] of the United States said here today. Rau C. Chang, vice president of Lucent Technologies (China) Co. Ltd., told a press conference that as a major partner of the Chinese telecommunications industry, Lucent has noticed that the evolution of information technology is proceeding faster than construction of telecommunications networks in China. China invests several hundred billion yuan in construction of telecommunications infrastructures every year. China Telecom, one of the country's major service providers, has spent 11 billion U.S. dollars introducing foreign technologies and equipment over the past three years. Lucent accounts for 40 percent of the optic transmission equipment market in China, which has developed the largest fiber optic cable network in the world. Lucent won six of the nine construction projects for trunk optic cables put forward by China Telecom for international bidding this year. Chang said that the time interval between generations of new telecommunications technology is becoming increasingly shorter, and that the integration of voice, data and frame communications is the trend of the future for telecommunications. He said that China has to improve the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of existing networks in order to realize the highest possible return for its huge investment in telecommunications. Chang said he believes that China should take into consideration the trend of technological development in the world today as it builds its telecommunications networks. For example, localities should give priority to data communications while building local networks. According to Chang, the China telecommunications market may see the fastest growth in such sectors as intelligent exchanges, providing Internet service, transmission, fiber optic cable networks and network management. This shows that China's telecommunications network still has a large potential waiting to be tapped. Lucent China set up a data networking systems team here today to meet the fast-growing need of China's data communications market. Chang said that Lucent will use its world-class network service expertise to help China smoothly go through the telecommunications technologies revolution.
