TOKYO, January 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- - Favorable Sales in
Asia and Middle East Mobile Communication Markets Spur Growth NEC
Corporation today announced that it has been named the world's
leading microwave communication-system company by industry analysts
(1). NEC ranked No.1 in the third quarter of CY2007 with a total
global share of 31%. The period is the first in which NEC earned
the leading position, which can mainly be attributed to robust
sales in Asia and the Middle East accompanying the expansion of
mobile phone markets overseas. Construction and expansion of mobile
network infrastructure is being carried out at a rapid pace in
Asian and Middle Eastern countries with the sharp increase in
mobile phone subscribers. "This is a milestone for our company, and
we are proud of this achievement," said Hiroya Nakata, General
Manager of Global Network Division, NEC Corporation. "Our strong
growth in microwave communication systems proves that our PASOLINK
products are highly evaluated for their superior performance by
major mobile carriers across the globe." PASOLINK has also enjoyed
strong growth in regions other than Asia and the Middle East due to
the start of service by mobile carriers with newly acquired
licenses and an increase in mergers and acquisitions by global
operators. Simultaneously, in the area of fixed communication,
corporate user demand for data communication has been increasing as
a result of the active advancement of broadband access. NEC's
PASOLINK products and solutions can effectively support the needs
of both fixed and mobile communications and it will continue to
deliver PASOLINK solutions worldwide to further expand its wireless
network business. Since its launch in the early 1980's, NEC has
been promoting research, development and sales of PASOLINK.
Accompanying the rapid growth of mobile markets worldwide, PASOLINK
has enjoyed favorable sales as a communication system to connect
the base stations of mobile communication carriers. The system's
unmatched performance is proved by the 700,000 PASOLINK units that
NEC has shipped to over 700 customers in 131 countries (2). As the
leading microwave access systems-company, NEC will continue to
proactively promote development and sales of PASOLINK to support
the rapidly-growing demand for superior-class communication
systems. PASOLINK is a trademark of NEC Corporation. (1) Source:
