China Strategy for Companies and for Individuals
Abstract:
With the telecom meltdown in the US, many companies and individuals are looking east for different reasons. China has a huge market thus is very
attractive to telecom system makers. Companies establishing in China also honor engineers with oversea experience. Many individuals have also started ventures in China, with the support of government and private funding. Based
on Dowslake's recent experience, the speaker will provide her view about what to expect for companies and individuals who are thinking to do business
in China.
Speaker Bio:
Prior to founding Dowslake, Dan was General Manager of AFC at JDS Uniphase. As part of JDSU's optical amplifier operations, AFC dramatically grew 400% within 12 months, following JDSU acquisition in Aug. 1999. With 1 million dollar revenue per employee, AFC set the record of operations efficiency in the fiber-optic industry.
Before joining JDSU, Dan was founder and CEO of AFC Technologies. Founded in 1996, AFC was the first company specialized in L band and smart WDM amplifiers. Regardless little investment, AFC achieved the leader position by bringing the first L band EDFA and the first SmartAmp intelligent optical amplifier to the market. Innovation and operations excellence allowed AFC to be profitable within 8 months after inception.
Dan started her fiber-optic career in 1993 at MPB Technologies in Montreal, and played a key role in designing the world's longest "island hopper" - repeaterless undersea SONET transmission link. This was the first transmission system to deploy external modulators as well as a threshold adjustable clock recovery circuit.
Dan holds 5 granted patents and 6 pending patents related to optical amplifiers, WDM systems, smart subsystems, and hardware/software intelligent architectures. She obtained her Ph.D. and M.S. in Optics & Photonics from University Paris, France, and a B.S. in Physics from Nanjing University, China.
