AT A GLANCE
18
Building on Internet-based information services centering on the B2C market-
place, the company is now active in a range of areas that includes portal sites
and other webtop services, content production and distribution and ASP ser-
vices for mobile users. The future focus will be on broadband Internet-related
business for the mobile market.
A philosophy of cooperative creation and value for customers underpins oper-
ations in four key sectors: systems integration and solutions services extending
from manufacturing industries to e-government; e-Net business to develop
Internet trading forums; comprehensive digital broadcasting services from
broadcasting equipment to TV commerce; and platform development for new
areas, such as wireless access and ITS.
Advanced systems support the private and public sectors in areas as diverse
as railroads, water treatment, aviation, traffic, the environment, industrial plant
and electric power transmission and distribution. Integrated solutions services
extend from system construction to operation and maintenance. The compa-
ny’s alliances with other global leaders contribute to enhanced international
competitiveness.
Bringing the latest technological advances to state-of-the-art networks opens
the way to new possibilities and lifestyles in the home and the office. The
company embeds wireless solutions including BluetoothTM, along with MPEG-4
and other important advances, into the hardware supporting today’s networks,
including PCs, digital TVs and other visual products, DVD drives, SD Memory
Cards and other storage devices.
Next-generation cellular phones and mobile terminals support strategic moves
toward a dominant position in the high-growth mobile devices market. Entry
into the European market has been achieved through an alliance with Siemens
AG under a global marketing strategy that also embraces early entry into the
Chinese and Brazilian markets.
