Where does India fit into the overall picture of Allied Telesyn business?
Part of the Allied Telesis group, Allied Telesyn is the fourth largest IP networking equipment vendor globally with 2003 revenues of $520 million. Nearly 30-40% of these revenues comes from Asia-Pacific including Japan which individually contributes nearly $100 million. Currently, India contributes less than 5% of the remaining Asia-Pacific revenue, though we hope it to increase substantially now. In APAC, we have R&D facilities in Japan, China, Philippines, Singapore, New Zealand and manufacturing facilities in Suzhou and Dongguan in China and also in Singapore. If not in this year, in the future, we plan to have both manufacturing base and R&D facility in India too.
