Quality and innovation: NEC presents its wide technology know-how

Tokyo, London, Munich, January 24, 2007 --- At CeBIT 2007 NEC once again proves its broad expertise as one of the world’s leading solution providers for information- and telecommunications technology. To offer the perfect solution for every demand – “That’s why NEC innovates”: being the company’s slogan at CeBIT 2007. NEC presents its expertise in innovation within four solution areas: IT Solutions, Network Solutions, Display Solutions and - of course - Future Solutions.

 

Future Solutions: Committed to innovation NEC shows at this year’s CeBIT ambitious designs for the future. The highlight of NEC’s research & development area will be a 42 inch 3D display which enables an optical egression of the presented objects from the display surface. Thus, the famous Partner-Type Personal Robot PaPeRo shown at the booth seems even on screen naturally real.

The P-ISM Pen-Style Personal Networking Gadget Package is barely bigger than a pen but full of functionalities: one can use it as a cellular phone, as a projector, it has a camera scanner as well as access to the internet. The new interface gives mobile devices a feeling of relaxed operability.

 

Display Solutions: One of the main focuses of NEC’s trade fair participation will be Display Solutions – including LCD and plasma displays as well as projectors. No matter if for business application, gaming or home cinema, NEC offers a diversity of innovative solutions for the presentation of digital contents.

The trend to digital signage has become increasingly popular. With plasma and LCD displays, NEC – market leader in the public display segment – responses to every requirement. At CeBIT the company will present screen sizes of 40-up to 65-inch. One of the highlights will be the currently largest LCD public display with 65 inch, the NEC MultiSync® LCD6520 with full HD resolution.

The new MULTEOS LCD multi-functional public display series with 40- and 46-inch is also 1080p compatible and is created for multimedia applications and is truly a “pro” of visual communications.

Besides the general trend for desktop LCDs will definitely be “wide” – which will also be reflected in NEC’s product portfolio at this year’s CeBIT with new wide displays from 20- to 26-inch and for different applications – with glossy panel for gamers or for professional users with the NEC MultiSync® 2690 WUXi.

For home cinema enthusiasts, NEC presents at this year’s CeBIT the new XR-series that consists of 42-inch plasma displays with a XGA resolution as well as of 50 and 60-inch displays with WXGA resolution.

As usual NEC also provides a variety of projectors. The market leader in this segment has an impressive product portfolio which offers a diverse range of products and for every requirement the right solution from portable projectors for presentation to digital cinema projectors like the NC800C — the smallest and lightest cinema-DLPTM projector in the world.

The new NEC LED/LCD projector, however, beats in size even the new NP60 as the world’s smallest projector with 3000 ANSI-Lumen. The LED projector is barely as big as two cigarette packets and will be showcased at the CeBIT for the very first time. Photos taken by the NEC mobile phone can now be displayed directly at the wall.

 

Network Solutions: The main topic for providers and carriers are “Next Generation Networks”. The company will present Triple Play solutions at its booth. NEC’s Multi-Service access platform for Internet-TV, internet access and Voice over IP via DSL is utilised at the world’s biggest commercial IPTV installation in Hong Kong. It boasts zero piracy of content, thanks to its network based conditional access solution, and industry leading scalability catering for hundreds of channels and interactive services.

 

NEC also shows its WiMAX solutions. Operating in the 2.5GHz band, this flexible basestation platform can also deliver services in the 3.5GHz band for fixed applications. The solution includes support for guaranteed quality of service for voice over IP and handover between WiMAX and other key wireless technologies.

Other solutions like its point to point wireless system PASOLINK NEO are shown. These infrastructure solutions enable operator’s flexible and scalable configuration change according to network evolution.

 

IT Solutions: NEC offers also a wide spectrum of solution in data processing systems, from high performance computing to PC and notebook. NEC`s “Shield Pro” notebook is perfectly made for the use in nature - it is protected against ingress of dust and against splashes of water from all directions. With data security a top concern of companies, NEC's Virtual PC-Class Thin Client System provides a solution that not only provides a ubiquitous client environment - it does so with corporate data security in mind. Using NEC's VPCC system, enterprises large and small can realize substantial reductions in installation costs, as well as enhanced functionality not previously available in the market. The VPCC can be installed and fully operational faster and more affordably than traditional Thin Client architectures. These and other innovative solutions will be shown at the booth, along with new terminal equipment for IP telephony. The security aspects will be covered by AFIS, an Automatic Fingerprint Identification Systems developed by NEC. NEC AFIS system is the only AFIS to use ridge counts and relationships between minutiae in its matching algorithm and not only developed for the field of network solutions. It is also in use in the health sector or border control.

At CeBIT visitors can also explore another NEC safety solution: Smart Catch is the most progressive intelligent Video Monitoring System which currently exists in the market place and which has already been successfully set-up at several airports. Visitors will have the opportunity to test these NEC safety solutions directly at the booth: once they move opposite a pre-determined direction, the software-supported video surveillance system will raise an alarm.
