Ericsson has acquired Guangdong Nortel Telecommunication Equipment Company for USD50 Million.

France-based 4G chipmaker Sequans has opened a new office in Shanghai.

Mats H Olsson, Ericsson's head of China and Northeast Asia, said during the Ericsson Business Innovation Forum held in Shanghai from May 17 to May 18, 2010, that Ericsson has decided not to enter the Chinese CDMA equipment market again.

Even though it already declared bankruptcy in Canada, Nortel is still working hard on expanding its business within China, and the company just unveiled details of its LTE TDD 4G tests.

According to a representative from Nortel (NT) China, the bankruptcy protection announced by Nortel last week will not affect the formal operation of its subsidiary in China.

Nortel has announced that Jackson Wu, former president for Nortel Greater China, has retired from his position, replaced by Huang Chenhong and Huang Yanwen, who will be in charge of Nortel Greater China's Operator Department and Corporate Network Department, respectively.

Chinese telecom manufacturer ZTE has published a report saying the company has signed two CDMA network construction contracts with China Telecom (CHA).

China Telecom has selected Nortel as its major provider for CDMA wireless network development in seven Chinese provinces.

3Com (COMS) has appointed Robert Mao as its new global CEO, and he will continue to serve on the company's board of directors.
