After undergoing the huge changes brought about by the reform of the traditional telecom institution, data communication gained vigorous vitality in China. From packet data networks (X．25) and digital data networks (DDN) in the early days, to frame relay and ATM broadband data networks established in the past few years, China's public data communications networks achieved remarkable development. Since the mid-1990s, data networks with IP technology at the core has achieved unprecedented development. High-end network equipment becomes the star of networks. Backbone networks evolve toward broadband and high speed. Domestic and overseas vendors compete and yet cooperate, jointly propelling the rapid development of data communications technology and the market.

In 2006, there was both fierce competition and cooperation in the data communications product market. Vendors engaged in cooperation amid competition. They team up to carry out development and share technical resources, and jointly promote technological progress and share new markets to gain high returns in the market. The ability to give full consideration to users' needs in product application through localized technology and services, and engage in innovation of technology, application, solutions and services according to users' needs and feedback, keep manufacturing new products that meet users' potential needs, launch solutions that suit users' needs, and provide users with tailor-made services, allowing users to enjoy autonomy and freedom in application will be prerequisite to domestic vendors in gain a foothold and achieve something in market competition.

In addition, convergence became a generally recognized topic in the data communications market in 2006. In the future, network communication requires the convergence of voice and data services. To meet such trend, many traditional operators that focus on voice services join hands with emerging dotcoms specialized in data communication to complement one another.

As such, CCID Consulting conducts in-depth analysis of the size of the data communications product market, present situation of competition, and future potential demand. It presents qualitative and quantitative analysis and forecast of the development trend of the data communications product market, and puts forward informed recommendations and help for network equipment vendors to leverage the opportunities to map out rational competition strategies.
