NEC Virtual PC Centre (VPCC) offers a more cost effective way for Enterprises to present a Windows based front end interface to users through the use of utility based computing to reduce footprint, carbon footprint and maintenance costs.
NEC is poised to address the digital broadcast needs of existing and emerging operators throughout the world. With a long history in television broadcast systems NEC is working with major European television operators.
NEC has the world's largest footprint in IPTV with a 700K customer base through our major customer in Hong Kong. NEC can provide an end to end IPTV solution including Set Top Box, Electronic Program Guide and Content to service providers.
Broadband access infrastructure for IPTV is also provided by NEC in the form of our family of DSLAM/MSAN solutions, which are configured to provide for the ‘high definition, on demand’ era.
This means not only supporting today's services, but also anticipating high speeds and new service types, thereby reducing investment risk for our customers.
The products support all-IP MSAN capabilities including the many access types from ordinary telephones to digital subscriber lines and from fibre to WiMAX, with a flexible range of standards-based form factors to fit most applications.
NEC has delivered the world’s first Internet Multimedia System (IMS) network to mobile operator DoCoMo in Japan and continues to develop a world beating IMS portfolio.
Whilst NEC’s pioneering innovation is set to continue in to the future we are also delivering on our promises today.
