TOKYO, July

- NEC Corporation announced today that NEC
Scandinavia AB (NEC) has been selected by Denmark TV broadcasting
system operator, Broadcast Service Denmark A/S (BSD), to establish a
digital broadcasting network. The digital TV network is scheduled to
commence operation within 2008.
BSD operates the national TV networks in Denmark and will use NEC'snew
transmitter product series, DTU-52, which can handle both fixed
and mobile digital terrestrial TV. BSD will now start building the
infrastructure.
We have been using NEC equipment in other parts of ourinfrastructure
and know that their solutions have demonstrated
outstanding performance and reliability. When deciding on which
products to use in this stage, NEC once again demonstrated their
unique competitiveness and strength in this market, says Finn
Sondergaard Pedersen, CEO of Broadcast Service Denmark A/S.
In Denmark, the Analog TV Network will be shut down on November 1,2009
in the same way as is currently being done in Norway and was
done in Sweden in 2007. With digital TV, the viewers get access to
more channels with higher quality than with the analogue technology.
The DTU-52 is the latest generation digital TV transmitter from NEC.One
of its advantages is the ability to handle both DVB-T and DVB-H
while being compact in design and energy efficient. Furthermore, the
DTU-52 can transmit between the range of 0.9 kW and 13 kW.
Looking forward, NEC aims to contribute to the establishment ofdigital
broadcasting networks throughout global markets by providing
transmitters that broadcast both DVB-H and DVB-T.
