FISCAL 2012 PERFORMANCE AND MAIN
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Business segment sales increased 3.6% year on year to
¥330.4 billion. This increase mainly reflected steady growth
in the social systems field including broadcasting, and fire
and disaster prevention systems, despite a decline in sales
in the aerospace and defense systems fields due to
government expenditure cutbacks in Japan.
Operating income improved ¥1.6 billion to ¥16.2 billion,
mainly reflecting increased sales and cost reductions.
In fiscal 2012, in the social systems field, particularly
broadcasting and video distribution systems, NEC
delivered a studio system for multimedia broadcasting to
mmbi, Inc., which launched “NOTTV
TM,”*1 Japan’s first
broadcasting service for smartphone users. In addition,
digital terrestrial TV transmitters designed to provide digital
terrestrial TV broadcasting service to the Kanto region were
delivered to TV Asahi Corporation, TV TOKYO Corporation,
and Fuji Television Network, Inc. These digital terrestrial TV
transmitters, which reduce power consumption by more
than 40% compared with conventional models, have been
installed on “TOKYO SKYTREE®”*2. Overseas, NEC supplied
digital broadcasting equipment to Argentina. Ever since its
first delivery in 1998 to the U.K., where the world’s first
commercial digital terrestrial broadcasting service was
launched, NEC has delivered more than 3,000 digital
terrestrial TV transmitters to 42 countries around the world.
Leveraging this track record and its technical capabilities as
competitive advantages, NEC will continue to provide
products that meet customer needs.
Since fiscal 2011, demand for disaster prevention
systems in Japan has increased significantly due to regional
enlargement and digitization of wireless communication
networks of fire and disaster prevention systems. NEC has
maintained a high market share in this field by leveraging
software defined radio (SDR) technology developed ahead
of the industry. Moreover, NEC also delivered postal
automation systems to Switzerland and Malaysia.
In the aerospace and defense systems field, NEC was
chosen to design the systems of the asteroid explorer for
the “Hayabusa 2 Project,” which is scheduled for launch in
2014. This comes in recognition of NEC’s solid track record
NEC provides eco-friendly, reliable and secure systems and solutions that
contribute to a comfortable society. Through information and
communications technology (ICT), these systems and solutions support the
sophisticated operation of social infrastructure, including broadcasting and
video distribution systems, control systems, transportation and public
network systems, fire and disaster prevention systems, and aerospace and
defense systems.
