2. Shanghai The Shanghai Research Institute was established in 1996, including wireless network equipment, terminal flagship smartphones, Hesi mobile chip products and new energy and other businesses.
3. Xi'an Xi'an Research Institute was established in 2000, and after 16 years of continuous development, its business covers cloud computing, big data, wireless networks, fixed networks, cell phone watches and bracelets.
4. Nanjing Founded in 1999, Nanjing Research Institute, which now has more than 9,000 employees, covers telecom software R&D, enterprise network R&D, IP capability R&D, and so on.
5. Chengdu In 2000, Chengdu Research Institute was incorporated. Over the past ten years, wireless, Haisi, China Research has moved into Chengdu Research Institute, storage R & D, wireless second R & D, transmission R & D and other businesses to help Chengdu Research Institute to take off development.
6. Wuhan Wuhan Research Institute, the scope of business includes optical capacity R & D and terminal R & D. Transmission network wavelength division products for 10 consecutive years.

Expanded information:
As early as 1999, Huawei had already set up a Russian math Institute to attract top Russian mathematicians to participate in Huawei's fundamental R&D. In the 21st century, Huawei's efforts to set up overseas branches and attract talent have increased even further: the institute in Munich, Germany, has nearly 400 experts, and the localization rate of its R&D team is nearly 80 percent.
Beginning in 2001, Huawei accelerated the pace of its international R&D layout. The US is the birthplace of CDMA, data communications and cloud computing, so Huawei has set up two research institutes in Silicon Valley and Dallas. Europe is the birthplace of 3G, and Ericsson is a leader in 3G technology, for which Huawei set up a 3G technology research institute in Stockholm, Sweden. Russia is a world leader in radio frequency (RF) technology, so Huawei established an institute in Moscow focusing on RF technology development.
