Huawei Technologies, the telecoms equipment provider, said yesterday that it is talking with the country's two leading fixed-line telecoms operators to roll out its home networking solution to create a new business growth area.

Home networking is a new technology which integrates PCs, telephones, electrical appliances, and all intelligent terminals within a house into a wide area network. With the integration, the solution enables people to have real time communication with their house anytime, anywhere as well as other multimedia applications via digital devices such as a mobile phone or a PDA.

"We are talking to China Telecom and China Netcom about introducing such a service as soon as possible," said Ren Xuebin, director of the Fixed-line Solution Division of Huawei Technologies.
