Itaipava Arena Pernambuco under construction
NEC Technologies Play a Part at the World Cup
The next World Cup, a quadrennial event, will be held at 12
stadiums throughout Brazil in 2014. The construction of
stadiums and other tournament preparations are proceeding
rapidly. NEC is deeply involved in related projects.
NEC is working on ICT systems at 4 of the 12 official
stadiums, as well as 1 training center.
These stadiums incorporate state-of-the-art design
and technologies, and are leading examples in Latin
America of facilities that factor in sustainability and
environmental protection.
NEC’s comprehensive setup includes a voice and data
communications infrastructure, as well as large screens,
digital signage, security solutions, audio systems, and
building management systems. The employment of such ICT
systems will greatly enhance spectator safety and comfort
and make it possible for entire families to enjoy watching
matches with peace of mind.
Brazil is taking advantage of its remarkable economic
growth and World Cup hosting to undertake smart city
initiatives, starting with areas around the tournament
stadiums. NEC will also be deeply involved in this major
project, establishing smart services encompassing IT,
network infrastructure, and other elements, thereby helping
to create a safer and more secure society.
NEC inaugurated NEC Internet Safety
Classes in 1999 as part of its social
contribution initiatives, the goal being to
ensure that children can use the Internet
safely and securely. NEC conducts the
classes in collaboration with NPO Eparts, to
help safeguard children from online dangers.
By using computers to write on bulletin
boards or on chat sites, children learn how to
deal with the leakage of personal information
and with character assassination and other
forms of online bullying. They also learn from
case study simulations of computer virus
infections, phishing, and other issues, and
how to protect themselves.
A total of 417 children took part in 9
classes nationwide in the year under review
(since the inauguration of this program,
about 25,000 children have attended a total
of 200 classes).
