areas: wireless broadband access, mobile backhaul,
submarine cable systems, and services and management.
NEC will strive to enhance its position in global markets
while driving growth in sales and earnings.
In wireless broadband access, NEC entered into an
agreement for collaboration with Cisco Systems, Inc. of the
U.S. on the deployment and sale of commercial LTE
networks targeting overseas markets. Cisco Systems
boasts a world-class delivery track record in the market for
core networks. In addition to completing the LTE projects
in Japan currently under way, NEC will promote LTE
business in overseas markets through the joint supply of
Cisco Systems’ mobile core systems, and NEC’s LTE base
stations. Furthermore, in femtocells, NEC already has 60
commercial-use/trial-based contracts*1. By cultivating new
customers and increasing ties with existing ones, NEC will
strive to further expand femtocell shipments.
In mobile backhaul, NEC has commenced a portion of
PASOLINK development and production operations in
India, one of the world’s largest markets for mobile
backhaul. This move is aimed at minimizing the impact of
the yen’s appreciation and further enhancing PASOLINK’s
competitiveness. Looking ahead, NEC will continue to
bolster business development by taking full advantage of
its advanced wireless transmission technology and high
quality and efficient manufacturing operations.
In submarine cable systems, NEC will steadily drive
business expansion by seizing business opportunities in
the Asia-Pacific region, where demand is strong. Another
priority for expanding business will be to address growing
demand in recent years for earthquake and tsunami
observation systems.
In services and management, NEC will combine the
respective strengths of the operation support systems of
NetCracker Technology Corp. and the business support
system of Convergys, in order to achieve a fully integrated
system including service implementation to operations,
monitoring and billing. This will give NEC the ability to
address the need for enhanced services and greater cost
efficiency among telecom carriers. In other areas, NEC is
focusing on M2M solutions, which mainly target the
domains of agriculture, the environment, energy,
transportation and logistics and remote control of
machinery, as well as the cloud business, where NEC has
already won orders from telecom carriers in Europe, Latin
America and CIS countries. In these fields, NEC will further
upgrade and extend its lineup of services in an effort to
cultivate and develop overseas markets.
