REVISTA GLOBAL DE TV DIGITAL IIIIIIIIII 02-03/2010
Se puede evitar sólo este dilema si se puede establecer su propia marca y volverse
independiente de clientes establecidos. Porque se necesita su propia marca en una
balanza global para poder decidir sobre las estrategias, productos y mercados.
Muchos de los fabricaciones chinos se buscan a si mismos creando un periodo de
transición de fabricante OEM a ser un fabricante independiente con su propia marca
al mismo momento. Mientras algunos han alcanzado casi esta meta, otros sólo están
embarcando en el objetivo.
Por eso nosotros hemos realizado una visita a algunos de los fabricantes más grandes
de China. La creciente confianza en sí mismos en el mercado mundial también implica
que los fabricantes están de pie, cara a cara, con los compradores de sus productos.
No es ningún futuro lejano que una marca de fábrica OEM llegue a imprimir su propia
marca en los paneles delanteros su propio nombre del fabricante. La responsabilidad
queda exclusivamente con el fabricante y no es ninguna excusa de tener una calidad
menos que perfecta.
No hay ninguna duda sobre ello: Los fabricantes chinos que nosotros visitamos tienen
en por convicción un gran espíritu de calidad. Véalo por usted mismo cuando realice la
lectura a través de los informes de la compañía en las siguientes páginas. La calidad
y el precio son dos de los atributos que abren las puertas a estos fabricantes para que
sean reconocidas sus propias marcas de derecho. Este desarrollo también empujará a
transacciones comerciales porque un fabricante que también compite en el mercado
con su propia marca tiene un sentimiento de lo que el mercado espera o exige. A

ANUNCIANTES
Los Receptores
Terrestres de Jiuzhou
Nuestros lectores están muy familiarizados con Jiuzhou - recuerden
la edición de TELE-satélite 02-03/2007. En el 2008 Jiuzhou celebró
su 50 cumpleaños y pasó a su nuevo Edificio de Jiuzhou Electric (ver
la edición de TELE-satélite 02-03/2008). En septiembre de 2009, cuando la
Línea 1 del Metro de Shenzhen se expandió, Jiuzhou se colocó cerca de una nueva
estación del Metropolitano. Es un paseo de cinco minutos desde la estación que
tiene un buen y digno nombre: “Hi Tech Park”.

■ The plants are truly beautiful, but business is business and flawless reception is a top priority.
This calls for a radical solution: All coax cables had been disconnected so that the
great clean-up could begin. Even a tractor was called in to get rid of all of the plants.
In the end the whole area was cleaned and the antennas were hooked up to the
system again one after the other. Now Satheesan can start hunting all those satellites

For many years, Greece was one of the
countries in which satellite reception with smaller dishes
was not really possible. Even with larger dishes the local
geographical situation was of the greatest influence on
the reception in many cases.
In practice, many Greeks just had to do trial and error
for many years. The Greeks have always participated
in our discussions about satellite reception, being pre-
pared to try any construction to find a solution.
So it was just a matter of time before a company would Travel into the Past

this field. Attisat Satellite Systems is one of these very
young companies, now introducing their first product. Issue 01-02/2000 http://www.TELE-satellite.com B 9318 E ISSN 0931-4733 01-02
