About Maipu Communication

Maipu Communication Technology Co., Ltd. is an established entity in the data communication equipment sector, founded in 1993 in Chengdu, China. The company was established by its current chairman, Mr. Hua Xin, who, in the same year, invented the MP1000 modem and was recognized with the Edison Cup Invention golden prize. This foundational event set the course for the company's focus on research and development in network infrastructure.

Maipu operates by providing a comprehensive suite of information and communication technology (ICT) services and solutions. Its business model revolves around the R&D, manufacturing, and sale of data communication equipment. A substantial portion of its revenue, reportedly 15-20%, is reinvested annually into R&D, which employs nearly half of its workforce of over 1500 individuals. The company holds a significant number of patents, with over 1500 filed, the majority of which are for inventions.

The firm's product portfolio is structured around five main lines: routers, switches, wireless (WLAN), unified communication, and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) applications. Key product milestones include the launch of the DDN access device MP9400 in 1998, which achieved a high market share in China, and the world's first fixed terminal router, the MP2600, in 2000. More recently, Maipu has developed high-end products like the 100G backbone switch for data centers and large enterprise core networks.

Maipu serves a diverse client base across various industries, including telecommunications, finance (banking and insurance), government, energy, and manufacturing. While it holds a notable market share within China's financial industry, its products and solutions are deployed globally in over 60 countries. The company's manufacturing facility is a 20,000-square-meter plant located in Chengdu's high-tech zone, capable of producing two million sets of network equipment annually.
