Telecom Opportunities in China?
By Jack Browne, MWRF Technical Director

China has been viewed by the United States and many countries throughout the world as one of the last great frontiers for business. China's efforts at modernization, for example, have resulted in a push for cellular handsets in every citizen's hands, with a resulting boom in telecommunications business throughout the country during the last decade. One of the news items below, based on a report from iSuppli Corp., covers the growth of the mobile telecommunications industry in China for the next several years. The numbers appearing in the report are very large, which would prompt the interest of American and other businesses seeking to be a part of the technological (and commercial) revolution in China.

Unfortunately, the names of the four key telecommunications suppliers all start with the word "China," indicating where the business opportunities lie. Certainly, some foreign companies will have an opportunity to "share" their technology as part of this growth. But, in the end, it will be the national companies that serve the customers share in the benefits of the nation's growth into new technologies.

The Thermal Management Imperative in Defense Electronics

This is the one trend that can make or break your company. Still testing thermal performance with cardboard mockups and duct tape? The most successful Defense Electronics companies are making real thermal management expertise part of their DNA. New technologies like upfront CFD software make it possible for every Engineer to handle thermal issues early in the design process.

Government Drives China's 3G Growth

Long-term growth of telecommunications equipment and services, such as third-generation (3G) cellular telephones, in China is keyed to the country's National Development & Reform Commission (NDRC), according to a report from research firm iSuppli Corp. Because of the push for modernization, the Chinese government is offering 3G licenses to four state owned telecommunications operators: China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom, and China Netcom if they are willing to accept reforms in line with the modernization efforts. China Mobile, for example, has a near monopoly in the country's mobile communications market with $37.8 billion in revenue and a net profit of $8.5 billion last year. These changes would result in a more distributed business structure, in the hopes of improved services.
