FISCAL 2010 PERFORMANCE AND
MAIN ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In the Social Infrastructure business, segment
sales decreased 7% year on year to ¥316.6
billion. This was mainly the result of restrained
investment due to the declining economy.
Operating income increased ¥13.8 billion
year on year to ¥21.7 billion, mainly due to
fixed cost reductions.
In the social systems field, which includes
broadcasting systems, control systems, transportation
and public network systems, and fire and disaster
prevention systems, NEC contributed to the establish-
ment of digital TV broadcasting networks in global
markets through the deployment of digital terrestrial
TV transmitters for Arqiva Ltd., a major U.K. broadcast
operator, and Broadcast Service Denmark A/S. In
another initiative, Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. partnered
with NEC to develop and deploy an advanced
telematics system called “See-T Navi” to ensure that
drivers of its collection/delivery vehicles drive more
safely and in a more environmentally friendly manner.
In the aerospace and defense systems field, Aerojet,
a GenCorp company (U.S.) and NEC began exploring
the feasibility of jointly supplying low power ion engine
for satellites. Ion engine can be used for geosynchronous
satellite propulsion systems and deep space missions
providing significant advantages over traditional
chemical propulsion systems due to the higher fuel
efficiency. Under the contract with Japan Aerospace
Exploration Agency (JAXA), NEC has also developed
and manufactured various instruments for the Japanese
Experiment Module Kibo on the International Space
Station, such as the main computer to control Kibo,
robot arms, inter-satellite communications systems,
and experimental science equipment. In other areas,
NEC’s cutting-edge technologies are contributing to
various sectors of society. For example, NEC provides
the infrared cameras deployed at airports and other
facilities to counter new strains of influenza.
FOR FURTHER GROWTH
Looking ahead, NEC will focus on expanding sales and
generating steady earnings. NEC will also develop its
business globally by leveraging its core strengths in IT
and network technologies.
In the social systems field, NEC aims to create new
businesses in the Smart Energy and Green business
area. We will expand business in systems that support
the foundations of society. This includes telematics
systems for business vehicles that reduce CO2
emissions by raising logistics efficiency, and smart
grids that control electric power supply through IT.
In the aerospace and defense systems field, our goal
is to expand the IT and network solutions business
using satellites by building up expertise in commercial
satellites through the alliance with Aerojet. These
efforts will be based on our technologies in science
and technology satellites, where we command the top
market share in Japan.
In addition, we aim to expand our business in
various fields, including TV transmitters and automated
postal services systems by utilizing our track record in
global markets.
