元器件交易网讯 4月23日消息，据外媒报道，包括友讯、正文科技及智邦科技在内的台系网络通信设备制造商正在转变其经营模式。为满足云计算和物联网快速增长的需求，他们正在将硬件ODM与OEM的生产与软件或者相关服务结合起来。

　　鉴于云计算应用带来的巨大商机，友讯将扩大从销售自有品牌的硬件到提供运营相关服务的规模。智邦科技将集中在SDN（软件定义网络）、NFV（网络功能的虚拟化）、物联网（IOT）和大数据互联网领域进行运营投资。

　　其他台系网络通信设备制造商为提高其毛利率和利润也已经转变经营模式。但他们预计从第二季度或2014年下半年开始营收会减少。（元器件交易网   白玉涛译）

　　以下为外文：

　　Main Taiwan-based networking/communication device makers, including D-Link, Gemtek Technology and Accton Technology, have been transforming their operational models, combining hardware ODM/OEM production with software and/or related services to meet fast growing demand for cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

　　In view of increasing business opportunities arising from cloud computing applications, D-Link will extend business operation from selling own-brand hardware to providing operation-related services, company president AP Chen said.

　　While the global networking/communication device manufacturing industry has developed fast over the past five years or so, the industry in Taiwan has seen declining operation, signaling that the value created by Taiwan-based makers has decreased and therefore Taiwan-based makers have to change their positions in the global supply chain, Gemtek chairman and CEO Howard Chen said.

　　Accton will focus operational investment in SDN (software-defined network), NFV (network function virtualization), the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data, the company indicated.

　　Other Taiwan-based networking/communication device makers have also been transforming their operations in attempts to improve gross margins and profits and thereby have suffered decreased revenues. But they expect the revenue decline to slow down beginning from the second quarter or second half of 2014, according to industry sources.
