en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, Bester Zhixin Technology (Hainan) Co., Ltd. was established with a registered capital of 200 million yuan. The company's business scope includes integrated circuit chip and product manufacturing, integrated circuit design, semiconductor device specialized equipment manufacturing, semiconductor device specialized equipment sales, and integrated circuit sales, among others, with Bester Telecom and other entities jointly holding shares.

The establishment of Bester Zhixin signifies that Bester Telecom, beyond its existing communication network services and intelligent computing business, is further extending its business reach into semiconductor-related segments. Bester Telecom previously built its foundation on integrated solutions such as communication network construction, maintenance, scheduling, and data services. In recent years, it has continuously strengthened its layout in new infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and new energy businesses. According to its official website, the company's business has covered more than 30 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions within China and extended to overseas markets such as the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa. It also operates business segments related to the Bester Intelligent Computing Platform and AI Industrial Parks.

Judging from its business scope, Bester Zhixin covers not just single chip sales operations but places integrated circuit design, chip and product manufacturing, semiconductor equipment manufacturing and sales, and integrated circuit sales within the same corporate entity. For a company expanding from communication services to intelligent computing infrastructure, semiconductor-related businesses can form closer industrial connections with servers, networks, computing power clusters, edge computing, and AI hardware. However, the business scope registered with the industrial and commercial authorities does not equate to the company having already formed chip manufacturing capacity, nor can it be directly inferred that it possesses capabilities in wafer manufacturing, advanced packaging, or mass production of semiconductor equipment. Subsequent observation is still needed to see whether the company discloses specific technical routes, R&D teams, product directions, production facilities, customer orders, and actual investment progress.

Bester Telecom has accelerated its investment in AI computing power over the past two years. In March 2025, Bester Telecom disclosed a plan for a private placement of shares, intending to raise no more than 1.922 billion yuan. Of this, approximately 1.102 billion yuan is earmarked for intelligent computing center construction projects, planning to build high-performance intelligent computing centers in Xining, Qinghai, and Danjiangkou, Hubei, to provide AI training and inference services targeting computing power demand in fields such as intelligent driving, healthcare, and fintech. The company also plans to invest approximately 520 million yuan in 5G communication network construction projects, continuing to strengthen its communication infrastructure business.

The establishment of Zhixin Technology Company can be understood within Bester Telecom's extension chain of "communication networks—intelligent computing centers—AI hardware and semiconductor-related businesses." The AI computing power industry chain has sustained demand for GPU servers, network equipment, storage systems, power and cooling solutions, cabinet integration, integrated circuits, semiconductor equipment, and operation and maintenance software. If Bester Telecom aims to enhance its system integration capabilities and supply chain control within its intelligent computing business, extending into AI hardware, chip products, semiconductor equipment, or related sales services can provide more supporting space for its intelligent computing center construction, computing power services, and customer delivery. At the same time, the semiconductor business has high barriers to entry, involving R&D investment, manufacturing resources, talent teams, certification cycles, customer verification, and supply chain stability. Whether the new company can form substantial business depends on subsequent project implementation and operational disclosures.

Subsequent milestones for the project include the actual capital contribution in place for Bester Zhixin, the formation of the business team, clarification of the direction for semiconductor-related products, the launch of businesses corresponding to the registered business scope, and whether Bester Telecom discloses through announcements the specific division of labor between this subsidiary and the company's intelligent computing, AI hardware, or industrial park businesses. A more prudent assessment at this stage is that Bester Telecom is reserving interfaces for semiconductor and AI hardware-related businesses by establishing a new company, but this matter cannot yet be directly described as the commissioning of chip production lines or the realization of semiconductor manufacturing capabilities.
