Bell Labs Sets up Joint Laboratories with Qinghua University

Bell Laboratories, the research and development arm of Lucent Technologies, signed an agreement with Qinghua University on May 9 to set up three joint laboratories.

The three labs will conduct research on network management, mobile telecommunications, and optical networks.

The two parties will also cooperate in the fields of personnel exchange and training, according to the agreement.

David Lee, president of the Beijing Research Center of Bell Laboratories, said his company has considered it important to cooperate with universities, and cooperation with Qinghua will help advance China's telecommunications industry.

The US-based Bell Laboratories now has facilities in Shanghai and Beijing, and recently opened the Beijing Research Center, the first of its kind outside the US for basic scientific research.
