According to reports, since its establishment, Maipu has always adhered to the road of professional development, experienced a change from low to high, from narrow to wide, gradually enriched product solutions, and constantly broadened the application scope of the industry. In the first stage, Maipu provided low-end communication equipment for banks; The second stage, low-end baseband modem; For the telecommunications industry. The third stage provides fixed terminal router solutions for the financial industry and extended equipment for DDN nodes for telecommunications. In 2002, Maipu increased product research and development, strengthened superior products, and extended its product line to network security, IP voice, network management software and other fields. After three stages of transformation, Maipu is transforming from a pure product supplier to a solution provider, and has completed the design of network solutions from transmission to network, from routing to switching, and the access layer of low-end network, which can provide users with safe, efficient, cost-effective and practical domestic low-end access solutions.
It is based on a deep understanding of the network market and users' needs that Maipu is one step ahead of the industry and puts forward the core concept of "digital relay station" to further deepen its specialization and build its core competitiveness. After integrating and enriching the product line, Maipu said that it will become a low-end router solution provider in China market in a short time and an important data communication solution provider in China within five to eight years. It seems that the "digital station" will be more harmonious and beautiful.
"Digital Post Station", playing jigsaw puzzle
In Mapp's view, the "digital station" needs to be tailored. In China, the degree of informatization construction and environmental characteristics in different regions are quite different, and the informatization construction in different industries is also inconsistent. Every industry has its own business characteristics and network operating environment, just like a jigsaw puzzle. How to establish a "digital post station" tailored for different regions and industries in different ways? Maipu's countermeasures are to adhere to the principles of "professional customization", "product applicability and application innovation" and pay attention to the regional development and industry characteristics of China. According to the different application characteristics of finance, telecommunications, education, public security, taxation, military, government and other regions and departments. The networking solutions in different application environments are put forward, which shows the deep accumulation of Maipu in industrial applications.
Maipu started from the financial industry and its products have been widely used in the financial industry. At the same time, in the telecommunications industry, Maipu transmission access equipment has also achieved a high share. Based on eight years' hard work in the financial and telecommunications industries, Maipu's products have been used in government, taxation, military, public security, education and other industries to varying degrees, and accumulated a lot of application experience. At the same time, routers, switches, transmission equipment, IP voice, network security and network management systems are all available, and a complete set of solutions has laid the foundation stone of "Digital Post".
Maipu believes that there is no differentiated market, only differentiated products and solutions. The product is not necessarily the most advanced in technology, but it must be the most advanced in application, that is, it must be "most applicable" to users. The design of products should be based on the needs of users, and we should not blindly pursue high-tech technology. Sometimes simple questions asked by customers are often 100% important to customers. Because of this, Maipu's router products have unique functions in the industry, such as fixed access of dumb terminals, integration of backup and maintenance, integration of transmission and routing, and secondary dialing of IP voice. It is also the time for the market to look for it in the crowd.
"First come, first served", core technology to build competitiveness
At present, most domestic network vendors pursue "take-away doctrine", and those who really have independent intellectual property rights are scattered. Therefore, in the fierce market competition environment, they want to make a difference and always feel that they are missing a bite. Maipu entered the field of data communication late, but "latecomers" also have the advantages of latecomers. He can open up new research and development ideas on the basis of predecessors' experience and achieve the effect of "latecomers come to the fore". Since the establishment of Maipu, by analyzing the technology in the field of data communication at home and abroad at that time, the development path of insisting on technology ownership and domain specialization was put forward. At present, the professional R&D team of more than 400 people has always adhered to the autonomy, originality and concentration of technology, and has been developing the software and hardware products and solutions needed to build "digital post" around customers. As Luo Peng, deputy general manager of Maipu, said, they will reach a depth of one kilometer with a width of one centimeter, so as to give full play to the "laser" effect and "the latecomers will come first".
In the research and development process of own technology, Maipu's technicians pay attention to the safety and integration of products, and integrate updated safety and application technologies on more hardware platforms. After years of technical research, Maipu has launched the first encrypted security router in China. The products have passed the certification of the Office of the National Cryptography Committee, mastered the domestic encryption algorithm, and become the only data communication manufacturer in China who has mastered encryption technology. Based on its leading position in technology, Maipu has become "the national designated sales unit of commercial password products" and one of the three "national information security achievement industrialization bases".
At the same time that Maipu's "E-stop Tour" set sail grandly, the exciting news came from overseas that Maipu router was synchronized with Cisco. In the network access test of the router in Jakarta Securities Center, Indonesia, the data show that the detection index of Maipu MP2600 is consistent with similar products of Cisco, which is the first time that domestic router products have reached the standard, indicating that domestic network equipment manufacturers have the technical strength to keep pace with the world. During this tour, Maipu also showed the latest modular routers MP800 and MP 1700 to the industry, pushing the routing equipment to the edge of the network. Combined with the launched MP3600, MP2600, MP2500 and MP 1600 series, Maipu has the strong strength to provide enterprise-level low-end router product lines in an all-round way, and has become one of the most comprehensive data communication manufacturers in China, laying a good product foundation for comprehensively promoting industrial market applications and building a brand-new "digital relay station". It seems that "latecomers come first" does have the advantage of being one step ahead. Now, Maipu's own core technology has built its core competitiveness and become a "secret weapon" for product innovation.
According to CCID's investigation and forecast, the network equipment market in China in 2002 will continue the good development trend of last year, and the market scale will increase by 18.8% compared with last year, reaching139.5 billion yuan. This undoubtedly provides great opportunities for network equipment manufacturers including Maipu. Maipu's "digital station" is undoubtedly prepared.
