Huawei's solar-powered base station<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In case anyone is doubting that the shakeout in the telecommunications world<\/a> will continue even as demand for broadband (and bandwidth) skyrockets, consider Huawei’s reported 2009 revenue of $21.5 billion and contract sales of more than $30 billion. The Chinese telecommunications equipment vendor told Light Reading<\/a> that it grew contract sales by almost 29 percent and saw revenue growth of 17.5 percent, during a year when most of its competitors have been reporting lowered sales<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Huawei is on a tear<\/a>, although it expects its contract sales growth to slow in 2010 to about 20 percent, reaching $30 billion. Its competitors, meanwhile, have been cutting their work forces and trying to figure out ways to bolster non-equipment aspects of their businesses as the tectonic shifts in the telecommunications industry ripple through the ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Nokia Siemens Network is cutting employees<\/a> while Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson<\/a> are trying to derive other forms of revenue from services<\/a> plays. Meanwhile, Nortel’s assets are in the final stages of getting sold off <\/a>and Motorola’s equipment arm is touting its WiMAX gear <\/a>while desperately hoping for some big LTE wins<\/a>.<\/p>\n
