corporations, with the aim of supporting a more reliable,
safe, and comfortable society. In recent years, demand
has grown for the digitization of wireless communications
networks, which underpin transportation safety for
expressways, and public transit such as railways, as well
as reliable communications in the fire and disaster
prevention fields. Particularly, replacement demand for fire
and disaster prevention systems is expected to grow
continuously over the next several years, driven by regional
restructuring and the digitization of wireless communications
networks. NEC continues to reinforce its operating
structure in this field.
Furthermore, nationwide multimedia broadcasting for
mobile terminals will enter service using remnant terrestrial
analog broadcasting frequencies. Here, NEC will help to
develop systems spanning program production to
transmission (digital broadcasting) in support of the
convergence of communications and broadcasting.
Similarly, the intelligent transportation system (ITS) field is
studying the feasibility of developing vehicle-to-vehicle and
road-to-vehicle communications also using these remnant
frequencies. In this area, NEC will help to develop
technologies and build infrastructure that reduces traffic
congestion and accidents.
Moreover, NEC offers ITS telematics solutions which help
to reduce CO2 emissions in the logistics field by facilitating
safe and environmentally friendly driving and raising the
efficiency of logistics operations. Looking ahead, NEC aims
to expand this business by extending telematics solutions
from commercial to personal vehicles and entering the ASP
service* business using cloud computing.
In other areas, NEC offers building solutions that enable
integrated facility management for security and power
consumption within a building. Also, NEC is currently
participating in various smart grid demonstration trials.
Going forward, NEC will roll out power control solutions
that address the introduction of renewable energy and
multiplying means of electricity trading, which are expected
to advance further.
NEC set up the Overseas Business Strategy Office in
September 2010 to promote overseas development of
systems that support the advanced use of social
infrastructure developed in Japan. Collaboration with
partner companies and government agencies in fields
such as expressways, railways, waterworks, fire and
disaster prevention and space applications, NEC will
strive to increase sales in emerging markets such as
Asian countries, as well as Latin America and Africa, as it
works to drive overseas business expansion forward.
