14 DAY TRIAL // Nortel announced that it has opened a new Research & Development (R&D) facility in Beijing to support the development of products for customers in Asia and global markets. The facility will develop next-generation communications technology and showcase them in Nortel's first Executive Briefing Center (EBC) in Asia.
Located at Wangjing, in the Electronic City zone of Beijing's Zhongguancun Science & Technology Park, the new 55,000-square meter campus is equipped with the latest audiovisual, presentation and communications equipment from Nortel. The facility features a high-tech R&D lab, the Nortel China headquarters and the new EBC showcase. The EBC will enable customers to meet with Nortel technology and solution experts to explore how revenue opportunities and increased levels of service can be achieved by eliminating barriers to efficiency, productivity and growth.
R&D activities at Wangjing form an integral part of Nortel's core global R&D capabilities. They also complement projects underway at existing R&D facilities in Beijing and Guangzhou. Engineers and research specialists at these facilities focus on wireless data networking, next generation IP networking and applications, wireless operations, administration and management systems, and the localization of Nortel products for China and other Asia markets.
"This new Wangjing campus marks another milestone for Nortel in China," said Mike Zafirovski, president and CEO of Nortel. "It signals a significant investment in the strong R&D presence we have developed in China over many years. And it demonstrates our continuing commitment to helping our Chinese customers realize the business benefits enabled by our technology and expertise."
