Nortel rival enters Ottawa market

Huawei Corp., China's largest telecom equipment manufacturer and a rival to Nortel Networks, is said to be on the verge of leasing space in Kanata as it seeks Canadian partners for new collaborative technology projects.
Word that Huawei is about to sign a lease for a modest 4,000 square feet on Legget Drive followed the company's announcement, made through the Canadian Advanced Technology Alliance (CATA), that it wants to co-operate on R&D with Canadian universities, research institutes and companies.
Specifically, the company said it's aiming for a long-term partnership with wireless communication technology companies, as well as universities and institutes engaged in advancing wireless communication research.
Huawei is considered a low-cost competitor to Nortel Networks and is reportedly a potential buyer of Nortel's Metro Ethernet Networks division. The two companies entered into a short-lived joint venture in February 2006 to develop "ultra broadband access solutions."
Messages left with Huawei Corp.'s American head office and media relations department were not returned.
The move is the culmination of a multi-year effort by CATA and the city of Wuxi, in Jiangsu Province, in establishing a "China portal" to provide financial and logistical resources for Canadian companies wanting to explore business collaborations in China, said CATA president John Reid.
"We're on the radar screen," he said. "And once you are on the radar screen, you then have different opportunities to expand your work in that specific geographic area."
In September, CATA officially opened its new office in Wuxi, roughly 110 kilometres from Shanghai. In turn CATA hosted a delegation of high-ranking Wuxi government and Xishan economic development zone officials at a reception in Toronto earlier this month, where CATA executives emphasized Canadian companies should think of the long-term benefits of outsourcing beyond the immediate cost savings.
"Governments and companies that wish to participate in the ever-growing global (opportunities) must first understand the strengths of the various global communities, and integrate these strengths into the delivery of their solutions," said CATA chairman John Kelly in his welcoming remarks.
"Those who retain a silo approach to the development and implementation of new solutions will not succeed," added Mr. Kelly, who is also president and CEO of Ottawa-based Clearford Industries.
Huawei's interest in Canadian partnerships is one of the first payoffs of CATA's work in establishing a Chinese presence. It offers domestic companies the potential to expand further into the Chinese market, secure collaborative funding for technology development and find a lower cost centre for production, said Mr. Reid.
At least 10 enterprises have voiced interest in pursuing discussions with Huawei, said Mr. Reid. One is from Vancouver, with the rest hailing from Montreal, Calgary and Ottawa, he added.
CATA is essentially prequalifying Canadian enterprises for Huawei, but it will ultimately be up to the two business entities to finalize a deal.
Mr. Reid said he was unaware of Huawei's plans to lease office space in Ottawa.

For the same reason, it was my simple guess.
