At its recent core partner convention in Shenzhen, China, Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, one of the world's largest telecom networking equipment manufacturers, has honored optoelectronic chip and module maker JDSU of Milpitas, CA, USA with its 2012 Excellent Core Partner Award (the highest honor given by Huawei to any of its base of about 1000 suppliers).
JDSU received the award for its "innovative network technology, focus on high quality, and consistent on-time delivery". The firm provides a wide array of solutions to Huawei, including optical components, modules and transmission products for the development of self-aware networks that support more flexible network management and higher data rates.
"We will continue to collaborate with Huawei to keep increasing the performance of optical networks around the world," says Alan Lowe, president of Communications and Commercial Optical Products at JDSU. "This award also reflects our growing impact in Asia Pacific." JDSU has offices throughout China (in Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Suzhou) and across other parts of Asia Pacific (including India, Japan, Southeast Asia and South Korea).
In 2010, JDSU received the Excellent Core Partner Award from Huawei for service and solutions including reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexor (ROADM) and tunable XFP products.
In a panel session during this year's Huawei partner convention, JDSU also presented on the topic of collaboration.
