SNS Site 51.com Targets Stronger Network Through Huawei Partnership

Shanghai-based social networking site 51.com confirmed that it has signed an agreement to obtain network equipment solutions from Huawei, and the site will announce the partnership soon, reports Sina. 51.com plans to spend over RMB 100 million on the cooperation, said the report.

Huawei may be preparing a project to provide software or services to online community operators like China Mobile's (NYSE:CHL, 941.HK) social networking service (SNS) site 139.com, said an unnamed employee. The equipment manufacturer began recruiting personnel via headhunters to build an SNS-related team last year, said the report.
