TOKYO and
London, July
30, 2008
- NEC Corporation announced today that it has established an LTE (Long
Term Evolution) demonstration center at its Tamagawa offices
(Kawasaki-city) for customers planning to install LTE systems.
The center enables NEC to demonstrate high
quality, end to end LTE systems that are comprised of subscriber
terminals, core networks, application servers and wireless access
products, such as flat architecture (*1) compact base stations and
remote radio equipment.
Following careful deliberation, NEC was
selected by NTT DoCoMo as a vendor for the development and manufacture
of “Super 3G” wireless base station equipment and
“Super 3G” mobile handsets. The selection
illustrates NTT DoCoMo’s regard for NEC’s extensive
track record as a reliable and experienced total solutions provider in
the mobile business field.
Furthermore, in February 2008, NEC and
Alcatel-Lucent agreed to form a joint venture that focuses on
expeditious development and delivery of LTE wireless broadband
solutions for communications providers throughout the world.
NEC will capitalize on the cutting edge LTE
facility to offer customers first-hand experience with advanced mobile
technologies that provide high speed/high volume data communication
with reduced latency.
NEC will also continue to contribute to the
ongoing development of next-generation mobile technologies by providing
innovative mobile solutions for markets spanning the globe.
(*1)
flat architecture: One of the main features of LTE systems. LTE network
architecture is less complex than a 3G system and provides high
speed/high volume data communication with reduced latency and greater
cost efficiency for network construction.
