Motorola to Open Design Center in Shanghai
Motorola Computer Group (MCG) Monday announced that it will open a design center in east China's Shanghai City in the first quarter of next year.
It will be one of the MCG's three design centers in the world, and also the first of its kind in Asia.
Wayne Sennett, senior vice-president and general manager of MCG, noted that China is an important market for Motorola.
In 1999, 10 percent of Motorola's revenue came from China.
Sennett also said the reason for Motorola setting up a design center in China is "the availability of technical resources." The company has hired technical personnel in China for the design center.
Set up in 1985, the MCG is mainly engaged in providing embedded computing platform for telecommunication original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Sennett noted that the MCG has been focusing on cooperating with China's leading OEMs in the past years.
Sennett also said that they have set up "cordial and close" relations with the Ministry of Information Industry (MII) in China. In the next two days, the MCG will host a two-day forum in Beijing to discuss telecommunications development with MII officials and China's major telecommunication OEMs.
