Huawei Climbs ‘Food Chain’ in Cisco Enterprise Challenge

Huawei Technologies Co., China’s largest telephone-network equipment maker, is banking on the rising mergers of computer and communication networks to narrow its gap with Cisco Systems Inc. in data routers and switches.

“Cisco is clearly the leader in this domain, but we also believe changes are happening,” Leon He, president of solution sales at Huawei’s enterprise business unit, said in an interview in Shenzhen, China. “When those changes occur, the current market and customer needs will change.”
