Huawei to expand in US Huawei

Technologies, China’s largest telecoms supplier, will launch its flagship products in the US next year as it ramps up its overseas expansion plan. The company is seeking a US partner to distribute its products and predicting an 81 percent jump in overseas sales to US$1 billion this year. Huawei provides equipment to Russia, Thailand and Latin America and also operates a JV with Germany’s Siemens developing China’s home-grown third generation telecom standard, TD-SCDMA. The overseas expansion comes soon after Huawei and Cisco Systems agreed to suspend a patent lawsuit for six months. Cisco, the largest router and switch maker in the US, accused Huawei of infringing on several patents.
