¨’¡°One-stop-shop¡±solutions
Our in-house R&D capacities and fully integrated production process enable us to provide vertically integrated wireless network coverage solutions to our customers.
Our integrated design, engineering, production and quality control capabilities enable us to customize products to meet specific customer requirement and to increase production efficient. To minimize component costs and enable us to implement our low cost strategy, we produce our own RF parts and components and rely on strict control of our production process. In addition, our production personnel are intensively involved in product design to ensure that production considerations are addressed early in the design process and to minimize the number of products which fail to meet our quality control standards.
Our production processes can be divided into three primary categories and consist of numerous individual steps throughout the entire process. The categories include production of our RF parts and components, production of wireless coverage equipment and wireless access products and assembly of our wireless coverage equipment. The production process for our RF parts and components may be generally divided into the following steps:
^ integrated circuit board processing
^ covering and welding
^ manufacturing and assembly
^ functional testing; and
^ quality control
¨’Quality Control
We adhere to a strict system of quality control over our operations, from sourcing of raw materials to production, packaging and inventory storage to sale, delivery and installation.
We have established various quality-control checkpoints at different stages of our production process to closely monitor the quality of our production and to ensure that our products meet all our internal benchmarks and customer¡¯ specifications. Since 2000, we have been ISO9001-certified every year for our research and development, production and quality control process at our research and development facilities as well as at our production facilities in Shenzhen and Quanzhou.
Quality Control for Raw Materials. We purchase raw materials only from suppliers on our approved vendor list and only those suppliers that pass our assessment are admitted to our approved vendor list. Our staff in the purchasing department assess various aspects of a supplier, including its overall ability, technical capability, quality control over its production process and its financial health. In some cases, our customers require us to purchase raw materials from their approved list of suppliers. In such event, suppliers designated by our customers are also subject to our assessment and approval. Raw materials, upon delivery, are subject to incoming inspection by our quality control team. Raw materials that fail to pass our incoming inspection are returned to the suppliers. Suppliers who experience repeated returns are removed from our approved vendor list. Raw materials provided by our customer¡¯s designated suppliers are also subject to the same incoming inspection procedures.
Quality Control During Production. At various stages of production process, semi-finished products are tested to ensure their quality and compliance with all internal production benchmarks before proceeding to the next stage of the production process.
Final Testing Before Delivery. Following completion of the production process, our products are inspected and tested thoroughly to ensure that all customers¡¯ specifications are met before our products are delivered.
Testing at Customer Site. After completion of the installation process, we test the wireless coverage equipment to evaluate its performance and make adjustments to optimize its functionality. Our customers will perform further testing of our wireless coverage equipment after installation.
Warranty. For our wireless network coverage equipment, we usually provide warranties for one to three years following the final inspection by our customers. During the warranty period, we are responsible for any quality defects in our equipment. For our RF parts and components, our costumers will examine our products and are entitled to return any RF parts and components that do not comply with their prescribed specifications at the time of the delivery. With respect to our RF-based wireless access products, we provide warranties of up to three years that cover repairs. |
