Tokyo, February 9th, 2007
NEC Corporation (NEC) announced that it has signed a contract
with the Moldovan mobile telecommunications operator, Voxtel, for
the supply of EC's advanced, point-to-point wireless access system
"PASOLINK NEO". With this order, Moldova has become the 174th
country in which NEC will supply its products as well as the 123rd
country that "PASOLINK" will be supplied. Voxtel, the no.1 GSM
operator in Moldova, is affiliated with France Telecom, which is
owned by the UK mobile operator Orange. PASOLINK NEO will be
employed for transmission among mobile base stations, as well as
for connection among base stations and trunk line networks.
One of the advantageous features of NEC's Pasolink NEO, as
compared with other wireless access systems, is its ability to
handle different transmission speeds and interfaces with the same
platform. This flexibility allows easier and more cost efficient
expansion of networks when operators need to increase capacity.
With the accelerating global expansion of mobile subscribers and
mobile internet services, demand for microwave communication
systems is expected to see substantial growth, as these systems
enable quick installation of telecommunication infrastructure.
The rapid growth of NEC's PASOLINK business can be attributed to
NEC's long-standing experience, competence, advanced and
high-quality technologies, and its leading position in the global
microwave communication systems market.
NEC will continue to drive its advantageous position in the
mobile and wireless communication systems market to expand its
growth and business operations worldwide.
