Huawei Opens Facility in Bridgewater, New JerseyAug 03, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Huawei, a global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, announced that it hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, July 29 to mark the official opening of its Northeast regional headquarters office in Bridgewater, New Jersey. The Bridgewater, New Jersey facility is also the North American Research & Development (R&D) hub for wireless technologies. Huawei's research and development activity in New Jersey not only augments the company's global leadership in wireless technology developments, but also allows for technology customization to meet specific North American carrier requirements. "We are truly honored to have the Lt. Governor attend our celebration," said Charles Ding, President of Huawei North America and Co-President of Huawei USA. "With the opening of the Bridgewater facility, we will continue close collaboration with U.S. technology partners, suppliers and vendors, as well as research-oriented universities to deliver integrated solutions to our U.S. customers." Nationwide, Huawei currently has nearly 1,500 U.S. employees, with over 110 employees in New Jersey - a number the company anticipates increasing by at least 50 percent over the next three years as the company continues to tap New Jersey's best and brightest to help guide greater success. Huawei takes pride in having contributed to the development of New Jersey developers, with Princeton and Rutgers being among American universities that have benefitted from Huawei's program sponsorships - which totaled more than $10 million in 2010.
