Really, they are worse than you think and far worse than any American technology company. In America, you can get sued for violating patents. In China, the military will tell you to get lost, Huawei is with them. I can’t go everything here but just look up what 60 minutes found out, or CBSNews, or RockStar, or the House Intelligence Committee, or anyone else who tried to investigate them. My vote, toss them out.

Isn't that pretty much how world-wide corporations work these days? I'm not support Huawei here, I think they are as bad as you say... just trying to prove a point.

They basically laundered the technology long enough that they claim it’s now there. They are working on the firmware for Vivint at this point creating a proprietary protocol for their system. So, given their history, their relationship and foundation in the Chinese military, their resources for reverse engineering, and their pension to steal patents, and the fact that the United States won’t let them become a cell operator in the country, I’d like to see them rejected from WISPA. We have a lot of manufactures as members that will now become targets. If I’m them, I’d be screaming to the rooftops to get rid of them. Personally, I’m very unhappy they were ever accepted. Once a thief, always a thief, regardless of how expensive your suit is.

The whole world does. I was jokingly assuming that whatever new gadget Lewis was talking about was just ripped off from somebody else. That said... I heard of them running some new 802.11 protocol in the lab and they're the first to do it. Maybe now everything is their own, but it's built on a foundation of theft. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ________________________________ From: "Rory Conaway via Af" <af@afmug.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Friday, October 3, 2014 10:10:16 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Huawei still at it Cisco, Motorola, Nortel, Seimens, and many others.

We are considering moving to their hardened routers from MT. Their price point is good but they have the same broken Cisco looking IOS as everyone except juniper. We are also looking at their fiber line which is why we really started to investigate them. They have a fully hardened router in a metal outdoor case with fiber, copper, and POE coming soon that I am very interested in. I doubt I have anything they want to steal. A corporate culture is a difficult thing to change. Not saying they need to or if thye do need to they want to or will. I like the fact they have SNMP management platform that will mange all their products. The down side is they seem to be unsure if it can even report failures of third party gear which would be a really great thing. I understand if it can't manage it as that requires all kinds of knowledge about the device and UI interface adjustments. I can't see where asking them to throw up a red flag if a trap or out of range is seen is a big deal. It is called the U2000 and is a bit clumsy and ugly on the UI side but it did appear to do the job. We have not made the decision to buy yet but they are in the running.

I seem to remember their message was they were one of the few companies that could outfit an entire project from their own portfolio of products. I don’t remember them having actual hardware on exhibit at the show. Recently I got a brochure in the mail from WAV and there was a pretty impressive looking Huawei Ethernet switch on the front.
