ich würde nec auch jetzt kaufen, bin aber in LG investiert.
und mein depot wäre dann zu high-tech lastig.
nec ist jetzt bei 5,38 euro und 10,- euro sind da drin.
1. die produkte sind qualitativ
2. das unternehmen ist mit 11 mrd. klar unterbewertet, da ein umsatz von 36 mrd. gegenübersteht.

wenn man jetzt noch china in betracht zieht (billiglohnland) und auch indien (wird das 2te china), dann denke ich mal, das es auch in zukunft keine umsatzbrobleme gibt.

bei nec mache ich mir keine sorgen, die machen in 3 jahren locker 100%.

NEC will Apples Ipod Konkurrenz machen

Von Martin Fiutak
ZDNet mit Material von dpa
08. Februar 2006, 10:58 Uhr

Bericht: Offiziell soll neue Linie in der kommenden Woche vorgestellt werden

Der japanische Elektronikkonzern NEC will in den Markt für tragbare digitale Musik-Player einsteigen. Wie die japanische Nachrichtenagentur "Jiji Press" am Mittwoch unter Berufung auf Unternehmensvertreter berichtete, will NEC sein erstes Modell noch in diesem Monat herausbringen.
Das Gerät könne Musik wie auch Videos abspielen und aufzeichnen. Eine formelle Bekanntgabe werde das Unternehmen am kommenden Dienstag machen, hieß es.

Momentan dominiert das US-Unternehmen Apple Computer mit seinem Ipod den Markt. Um mit Apple mithalten zu können, haben führende japanische Elektronikkonzerne wie Sony verstärkt eigene Produkte aufgeboten.

Ich weiss zwar nicht wie weit Du informiert bist, doch ich denke, dass nur der Handel mit den deutschen Zertifikaten (NEC) eingestellt wird. Im Gegenzug erhalten die Aktionäre jedoch die anderen Zertifikate (NEC1), die problemlos in Deutschland gehandelt werden können. Ich vermute das, weil genau so haben es auch viele andere japanische Unternehmen gemacht.

Halbleiter-Branche im Aufwind

Stamford - Die weltweite Halbleiter-Branche befindet sich im Aufwind. "Personal Computer und Handys bleiben die größten Wachstumstreiber", sagte Richard Gordon, Analyst des Marktforschungsinstituts Gartner am Donnerstag in Stamford. Die Umsätze hätten im vergangenen Jahr ein Rekordniveau erreicht. "Die Beliebtheit von MP3-Playern sorgte 2005 für dramatische Zuwächse bei Anbietern von Flash-Memory-Chips."

2005 setzte die Halbleiter-Branche 235 Mrd. Dollar um. Das bisherige Höchstniveau von 223 Mrd. Dollar (184 Mrd. Euro) aus dem Jahr 2000 sei damit geknackt. Branchenführer bleibe dank der großen PC- Nachfrage mit großem Abstand Intel. Die US-Gesellschaft wuchs um 12,6 Prozent und damit mehr als doppelt so schnell wie der Markt. Die Plätze zwei und drei besetzten weiterhin Samsung Electronics und Texas Instruments. Im Markt für Speicherchips (DRAM, SRAM) und dem schnell wachsenden NAND-Flash-Markt sei das südkoreanische Unternehmen dagegen führend, berichten die Gartner-Experten. Mit diesen Chips, die unter anderem in MP3-Playern, Speicherkarten oder USB-Sticks eingebaut werden, setzte die Branche im vergangenen Jahr 71 Prozent mehr um.

Auf den Rängen vier bis sieben gab es dagegen Änderungen. Platz vier besetzt nun Toshiba, gefolgt von ST Microelectronics und Renesas Technologies. Die Münchner Infineon Technologies rutschte vergangenes Jahr von Rang fünf auf den sieben Platz ab. Philips Electronics bleibt laut Gartner der achtgrößte Halbleiter-Hersteller der Welt. Die südkoreanische Hynix Semiconductor schob sich vom zwölften auf den neunten Rang vor. NEC Electronics verbesserte sich vom elften auf den zehnten Platz. (APA/dpa)

Globaler Chipumsatz wächst deutlich

Für 2006 wird ein Umsatzanstieg von zehn Prozent erwartet - Handys sind der am schnellsten wachsende Endmarkt

San José - Die starke Nachfrage nach Handys, PC und anderen elektronischen Geräten wird in diesem Jahr zu einem starken globalen Umsatzanstieg der Halbleiter-Branche von knapp zehn Prozent auf 250 Milliarden Dollar (195 Mio. Euro) führen. Die Handy-Nachfrage sei besonders stark, heißt es in einer Prognose des US-amerikanischen Branchenverbandes SIA (Semiconductor Industry Association), die am Mittwoch in San Jose (Kalifornien) veröffentlicht wurde.

Die mittelfristigen Aussichten der globalen Chipbranche sind danach ebenfalls ausgezeichnet. Es werden bis 2009 durchschnittliche jährliche Zuwachsraten von 9,2 Prozent erwartet. Damit würde sich der weltweite Branchenumsatz bis 2009 auf 323 Milliarden Dollar (251 Mrd. Euro) erhöhen. Damit hat der Verband seine Prognose vom vergangenen November deutlich angehoben, die für 2006 von einem Jahresumsatz von 245 Milliarden Dollar ausgegangen war.

Die Verbrauchernachfrage nach einer breiten Palette an elektronischen Produkten treibe trotz stark gestiegener Energiepreise weiterhin das Wachstum der Halbleiter-Branche an, betonte SIA-Präsident George Scalise. Der am schnellsten wachsende Endmarkt seien Handys, besonders UMTS-Geräte (Third Generation).

Der Verband rechnet damit, dass in diesem Jahr weltweit eine Milliarde Handys verkauft werden. Mit einem durchschnittlichen Halbleiter-Anteil von 41 Dollar pro Stück sei dieses Segment jetzt nach Personal Computern im Hinblick auf den gesamten Chip-Konsum das zweitgrößte.

Andere wichtige Antriebskräfte kämen von PC, Digitalkameras, digitalen Fernsehgeräten und MP3-Playern. Jeder dieser Bereiche werde in diesem Jahr doppelstellig wachsen. Der Verband erwartet auch für den Rest der Prognose-Zeit andauerndes Wachstum. (APA/dpa)

Frage an alle länger Investierten:

Leidet der Kurz mit der allgemeinem Konsolidierung im Nikkei oder gibt es noch ein paar fundamentale Fakten, denn langsam schmelzen sämtliche Unterstützungen.
Die 4€ bildeten aus meiner Sicht eine wichtige Unterstützung, die bisher schon 2 mal gehalten hat.



Außerdem ist der Nikkei schon wieder auf dem Weg nach oben.

Darum meine Frage:
Welche Steine hängen der Aktie noch am Hals?

NEC/Matsushita planen JV zur Handy-Softwareentwicklung

TOKIO (Dow Jones)--Die NEC Corp, Tokio, und die Matsushita Electric Industrial Co Ltd, Kadoma City, wollen einem Zeitungsbericht zufolge ein Gemeinschaftsunternehmen zur Entwicklung von Mobilfunksoftware auf den Weg bringen. Wie die Tageszeitung "Nihon Keizai" in ihrer Dienstagausgabe berichtet, versuchten beide Unternehmen mit dem Joint-Venture, das sich nur auf die Softwareaktivitäten beschränke, Entwicklungskosten einzusparen.

Die Entwicklung eines neuen Handys koste derzeit ungefähr 10 Mrd bis 15 Mrd JPY und 70 Prozent entfielen dabei auf den Bereich Softwareentwicklung.

NEC werde sich mit 50% an dem Gemeinschatsunternehmen beteiligen und die anfängliche Marktkapitalisierung liege bei rund 100 Mio JPY. Matsushita investiert ihre Hälfte über ihre Tochtergesellschaft Panasonic Mobile Communications Co. Beide Unternehmen wollen 100 Ingenieure in das neue Unternehmen einbringen.

NEC verringert Quartalsverluste

Dank gestiegener Chipumsätze schrumpft beim japanischen Chipbauer NEC Electronics der Quartalsverlust auf 6,09 Milliarden Yen

Tokio - Dank gestiegener Chipumsätze hat die japanische NEC Electronics ihren Quartalsverlust im Jahresvergleich verringert. Er schrumpfte im Ende Juni abgelaufenen Auftaktquartal 2006/07 von 6,33 auf 6,09 Mrd. Yen (41,4 Mio Euro), wie die Chip-Tochter des japanischen Elektronik- und IT-Konzerns NEC am Mittwoch mitteilte. An seinen Jahresprognosen hielt NEC Electronics fest.

Operativ verringerte der Chipbauer seine Quartalsverluste deutlich. Sie schrumpften von 9,80 auf 5,76 Mrd. Yen. Der Umsatz kletterte um 13,1 Prozent auf 165,24 Mrd. Yen. NEC Electronics stellt Chips her, die in Flüssigkristallbildschirmen (LCD), Handys, Digitalkameras, DVD-Playern und Autos eingesetzt werden.

"Unser Geschäft verbessert sich nun stetig, da Aufträge für Micro-Controller und Halbleiter anziehen", sagte der Finanzchef von NEC Electronics, Hiroshi Sato. "Dank der höheren Aufträge und Umsätze verbesserte sich die Auslastungsrate unserer Werke auf weit mehr als 90 Prozent, nachdem sie im vergangenen Jahr bei etwa 85 Prozent gelegen hatte."

Im laufenden Geschäftsjahr 2006/07 (Ende März) erwartet NEC Electronics weiterhin einen Fehlbetrag von fünf Mrd. Yen. Operativ soll ein Gewinn von fünf Mrd. Yen in den Büchern stehen. Zudem will der Chipbauer 705 Mrd. Yen umsetzen. (APA/dpa)

NEC möchte seine europäische PC-Sparte für Consumer verkaufen
Der japanische Elektronikkonzern NEC plant, sich aus dem Endkundengeschäft mit PCs in Europa zurückzuziehen. Wie die japanische Wirtschaftszeitung "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" meldete, steht das entsprechende Tochterunternehmen von NEC, die niederländische Packard Bell BV, vor dem Verkauf. Der Kaufpreis für Packard Bell soll bei rund 87 Millionen Dollar liegen.

[Amphibie]

Tokio 27.07.2006 Japans drittgrößtes Elektronikkonglomerat NEC Corp hat im abgelaufenen Quartal die Gewinnzone zurückerkämpft. Im ersten Quartal wurde trotz eines hartumkämpften Handygeschäftes und Verlusten aus der Chipsparte ein operativer Gewinn von 14,7 Milliarden Yen erwirtschaftet. Im Vorjahr wurde ein Verlust von 9,9 Milliarden Yen ausgewiesen.

Auch für das Gesamtjahr hält NEC an seiner vorherigen Prognose fest. Insgesamt will der Elektronikriese einen operativen Gewinn von 130 Milliarden Yen erzielen. Analysten gehen durchschnittlich von 95 Milliarden Yen aus.

Gemeinsam mit Matsushita Electric, dem Hersteller von Panasonic Produkten, will NEC das Mobilfunkgeschäft zusammenlegen. Dadurch könnte NEC weitere Verluste begrenzen. NEC war mit einem Kursrückgang von 26 Prozent einer der größten Verlierer aus dem Elektroniksektor. Der Subindex büßte im selben Zeitraum 7,5 Prozent ein. Die Bewertung der NEC Corp hat gegenüber den Konkurrenten bereits einen Abschlag, der auf die Verlustgeschäfte im Mobilfunk- und Chipsektor zurückzuführen ist. Das KGVe beträgt 24. Matsushita Electric Industrial wird mit einem KGV von 33 gehandelt. Toshiba und Hitachi, die beiden größten Konglomerate Japans werden mit KGVs von 30 respektive 60 bewertet. Das KBV der NEC liegt mit 1,3 leicht über der Benchmark.

Im Vergleich zu den Mitbewerbern konnte die NEC Aktie nach den schwachen Monaten keine Erholung verbuchen. Nach dem heute veröffentlichten Ergebnis könnte die NEC Corp Aktie den Elektronik-Subindex outperformen.

Technologie-Kooperation

Matsushita, NEC und Texas Instruments (TI) werden in einem Gemeinschaftsunternehmen Hardware und Software für Handys entwickeln

Tokio - Matsushita, NEC und Texas Instruments (TI) werden in einem Gemeinschaftsunternehmen Hardware und Software für Handys entwickeln. "Gemeinsam werden unsere drei Unternehmen, alle in der Welt führend, außergewöhnliche Produkte herstellen können", sagte NEC-Chef Kaoru Yano am Donnerstag. Das neue Unternehmen mit dem Namen Adcore-Tech solle im August etabliert werden. Es würden 12 Mrd. Yen (81,5 Mio. Euro) investiert.

Die beiden japanischen Unternehmen sollen je 44 Prozent halten, der US-Konzern TI die verbliebenen 12 Prozent. NEC und Matsushita haben zwar als einige der ersten Firmen UMTS-Handys angeboten, eroberten damit jedoch nur geringe Marktanteile. Beide Konzerne liegen deutlich hinter Marktführern wie Nokia und Motorola. (APA/Reuters)

Netcracker Named Sole NFV MANO Market Leader by GlobalData

Analyst Firm Cites Netcracker’s Leadership as Operators Move to 5G Monetization and Transition to the Cloud

Netcracker Technology announced today that analyst firm GlobalData has once again selected Netcracker as the only leader in its NFV MANO Competitive Landscape Assessment. Netcracker’s Hybrid Operations Management (HOM), part of the Digital OSS portfolio, leads the study, which looked at offerings from 16 industry vendors and focused on the core aspects of management and orchestration, including support for cloud-native network functions (CNFs), 5G network slicing and end-to-end service orchestration.

According to GlobalData, Netcracker excels in a number of key areas. Specifically, the report cited HOM’s strong lifecycle management capabilities for both VNFs and VNF licenses; support for complex multi-VNF, hybrid physical/virtual network services; orchestration of CNFs; and advanced cloud-native, microservices-based architecture. In addition, Netcracker’s strong partner ecosystem, which consists of onboarded third-party VNFs including IoT functions, was cited as a key strength. These capabilities will help operators in their drive to 5G and support for technologies such as Open vRAN and industry open APIs.

Netcracker HOM brings together advanced orchestration and modernized OSS functions to maximize automation and agility across hybrid edge, core and network domains. HOM enables service providers to progress rapidly towards high-value, dynamic 5G digital services by orchestrating new technologies, including Open vRAN, Multi-Access Edge Compute (MEC) applications and 5G network slicing, across multiple public and private cloud platforms. With its strong multivendor focus and deployment expertise, Netcracker HOM enables service providers to position themselves for new 5G-enabled revenue-generating opportunities.

"The core NFV MANO functionality has largely matured, which puts the spotlight more on an analytics-driven approach to service and resource orchestration in order to support areas such as cloud, virtual and physical network functions," said Andy Hicks, author of the report and Principal Analyst at GlobalData. "Netcracker has again garnered a Leader ranking in our report thanks to a number of factors, including the ability to orchestrate multi-party VNFs, supporting complex hybrid network services, broad experience in operator production environments and ability to handle advanced capabilities such as network slicing and edge orchestration."

"To be named the only leader in the NFV MANO space once again is a great honor and one we take very seriously," said Ari Banerjee, Vice President of Strategy at Netcracker. "We work incredibly hard not only on the features and functionalities of our solution but in making sure we are bringing a complete offering to our customers as they navigate the path to 5G and deliver and monetize new services. Hybrid Operations Management helps operators minimize risk and accelerate new revenue streams."

Vodafone and NEC Start Trialing Open RAN Technology

Vodafone and NEC Europe Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of NEC Corporation, in partnership with Altiostar, have jointly announced the first successful voice call made on an open virtual Radio Access Network (Open RAN) on Vodafone's network in the Netherlands.

Open RAN technology is the foundation of next-generation wireless infrastructure driven by innovation and open standards. Today's announcement demonstrates Vodafone's strong commitment to sustaining its technological leadership, by bringing in such technological advances.

During the course of this trial, Vodafone and NEC intend to integrate solutions of leading Open RAN technology vendors, such as Altiostar and various other radio vendors, including NEC's own 5G radio products, using commercial off the shelf (COTS) hardware from third parties, enabling Vodafone to transform its network to a software-based one suiting multiple deployment scenarios.

"We are delighted to work together with NEC towards the first live Open RAN site," said Ruud Koeyvoets, Vodafone Mobile Networks' Director. "The introduction of the technology enables us to introduce new suppliers, such as Altiostar, giving us greater flexibility when rolling out our mobile network.

NEC Opens "NEC Mobility Test Center" for Demonstrating Private 5G and Video Analysis

NEC Corporation announced today the opening of the "NEC Mobility Test Center," a demonstration facility that utilizes advanced technologies such as private 5G and video analysis for evaluating automated driving technologies, coordinating infrastructure, and co-creating solutions with partner companies.









The NEC Mobility Test Center, based in Gotemba City in central Japan, will contribute to the creation of safe, secure, and people-friendly cities through infrastructure-coordinated mobility services and the use of data obtained from sensors installed within a city's infrastructure.

Infrastructure coordination is a system in which vehicles and roadway infrastructure exchange information quickly and accurately through wireless communications in order to prevent accidents, alleviate traffic congestion, provide support for automated driving, and more.

In the "Declaration to be the World's most Advanced Digital Nation and the Basic Plan for Promotion of Public-Private Data Utilization (New IT Strategy)"(1) posted to the Government CIOs' Portal, Japan, guidelines have been set for new road traffic infrastructure linked with 5G communications standards and traffic lights. In fiscal 2020, basic specifications and roadmaps began to be formulated, and demonstration tests are planned to be carried out in the near future.

The NEC Mobility Test Center is equipped with road equipment, such as traffic lights and pedestrian crossings, as well as edge-computing terminals, such as private 5G base stations and C-V2X roadside units(2). This is in addition to edge-computing equipment, including roadside cameras and edge-processing devices for AI. Moreover, the center features vehicles such as buses and passenger cars, as well as important pedestrian equipment, including electric wheelchairs.

While utilizing NEC's know-how and equipment, which have been contributing to the growing sophistication of road traffic infrastructure construction, NEC will conduct various evaluations and verifications aiming to enable infrastructure-coordinated mobility services.

The NEC Mobility Test Center combines advanced technologies such as NEC's private 5G, video analytics, and AI/IoT with the technologies and know-how of partner organizations to promote technological development and system verification of next-generation mobility services, with the aim of creating new value and solving social issues.

*V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure): Communication between vehicles and infrastructure (roadside-to-vehicle)
*C-V2X (Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything): Communication technology that includes communications between vehicles, roads and pedestrians

Advanced Technology Experiments using Private 5G and Video Analysis

Private 5G is used to acquire and analyze overhead images of intersections with cameras installed on roadside objects. This function notifies vehicles equipped with 5G stations of pedestrian crossings, collision prediction information, and speeding vehicle information. Dangerous vehicles and people in locations that are often blind spots will also be digitized to provide safe and secure driving assistance and conduct experiments that lead to automatic driving.

Traffic Management Experiment

Recognize and analyze passing vehicles and pedestrians from camera images. Along with real-time detection of traffic volume, the source of traffic jam information, the license plate numbers of passing vehicles are also identified at the same time. NEC will also conduct experiments for assisting with traffic management and urban development, such as identifying the number of inflowing vehicles from outside a region and recognizing changes in the amount of vehicles and pedestrians in an area depending on the time of day.

Road Infrastructure Management Experiment

Acquire and analyze images of road surface conditions with roadside cameras that identify fallen objects, such as trees, and other incidents in real-time. The system will provide valuable alerts to vehicles equipped with 5G stations that an incident has occurred in their vicinity.

NEC to set up 5G open RAN centre of excellence in UK

NEC, the vendor that is already supplying open-source 5G equipment to Japan’s Rakuten, is to set up a centre of excellence in the UK.
The company, increasingly seen as a competitor to the mobile industry’s big three, Ericsson, Huawei and Nokia, says the new unit will accelerate the global adoption of open radio access networks (open RAN or ORAN) and will strengthen its structure for accelerating the global deployment of 5G.
“Our customers expect commercial grade quality and operational readiness to underpin the deployment of open RAN technology in their networks,” said Atsuo Kawamura (pictured), president of NEC’s network services business unit.
In April Rakuten, which has started an ORAN-based 5G cloud-native network in Japan to compete with KDDI, NTT DoCoMo and SoftBank, named NEC as the supplier of its ORAN equipment, with a factory in Fukushima in central Honshu. At the time Kawamura said: “By expanding the open 5G ecosystem, NEC will contribute to the creation of new mobile services around the world.” Rakuten launched its cloud-based 5G services in October.
Last month after a meeting with the UK government in Tokyo, NEC said it would be “supporting 5G in the UK”. Today Kawamura said about the company’s UK plans: “NEC will be a strategic partner to our customers in making that happen through our technology leadership, R&D capability as a RAN product vendor ourselves, and operational experience we have gained through generations of RAN deployment.”
NEC has not said where in the UK its new centre of excellence will be. Capacity has asked for more details. NEC already has a unit on an R&D estate in Leatherhead, south-west of London, called NEC Telecom Modus, wholly owned since April 2008.
According to Cambridge Wireless, the association of which NEC Telecom Modus is a member, it “is dedicated to the design, development and innovative application of advanced mobile radio-communication base stations, associated switching and control systems, primarily based on the 3GPP standards”. It appears not yet to have a working website – even via NEC’s UK index.
In this morning’s announcement, the company said the unit will be responsible for business and solution development, product development support, project execution and technical support for its global open RAN business.
It will form the backbone of NEC’s global project delivery capability, said the company, building on its long-term experience in communication network deployment, including wireless networks, across the globe.
It will work with an existing open RAN lab in India, “which will be responsible for building up open RAN ecosystems with interoperability validation in a multi-vendor environment, as well as verifying product and system level performance and quality assurance”.
NEC said it “will drive initiatives to promote openness of networks at full scale through an open RAN ecosystem that includes its own advanced product portfolio as well as the leading-edge products of partner companies”.

NanoBridge Semiconductor, Inc. secures series A financing from Japan Industrial Partners and NEC for launching full-scale business

NanoBridge Semiconductor, Inc. (NBS), which designs and manufactures advanced circuits and conducts IP-licensing sales using NanoBridge(1), a resistance-change switching technology for semiconductors, today announced that it has issued series A preferred stock to Japan Industrial Partners, Inc., NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701), and other companies to raise approximately 130 million yen.



NBS is a venture company established by NEC researchers in September 2019. NanoBridge is a technology to control the creation or destruction of nanometer sized metal bridges in a solid electrolyte through the application of voltage, thereby realizing on and off-switch status. It is attracting attention as an ideal technology for FPGA(2) and memories that can repeatedly rewrite circuits. This is because NanoBridge consumes less power, as it does not require power to maintain an on or off status, and is highly resistant to both radiation and extreme temperatures.

NEC has an established history of promoting the commercialization of NanoBridge, and decided to transfer NanoBridge-related intellectual property to NBS and conduct a spin-off in order to further drive the growth of this business.

Through this fundraising, NBS will demonstrate its technologies in areas where radiation resistance is essential, such as aerospace and communications infrastructure. At the same time, NBS will develop a broad range of NanoBridge businesses for domestic and international manufacturers, such as IoT device and automobile manufacturers, while aiming to achieve sales of 5 billion yen in 2025.

"The discovery of the atomic switch, based on the movement of atoms rather than electrons, was a major breakthrough in basic science," said Richard E. Dyck, Director, Japan Industrial Partners, Inc. "The team at NanoBridge, after two decades of skilled and focused engineering, has transformed this breakthrough into the realm of practical application. It is exciting to see the NanoBridge atomic switch can now be manufactured economically and in volume, on standard production equipment."

"Under the Mid-term Management Plan 2020, NEC is strengthening its business development capabilities and commercializing competitive technologies," said Osamu Fujikawa, Senior Vice President, NEC Corporation. "We have invested in NBS to support the enthusiasm of our researchers for taking on new challenges and driving the advancement of outstanding NEC technologies into the worldwide marketplace."

(1) NanoBridge(R) is a resistance-change type switch developed by NEC together with the National Institute for Materials Science. By controlling the creation or destruction of bridges formed by metal atoms in a solid electrolyte through the application of voltage, its resistance changes significantly, functioning as a wiring switch. The switch's resistance value is maintained even when the power supply is turned off, giving it non-volatility. Circuit non-volatility is an effective way to achieve reduced power consumption in ICT devices and systems. NanoBridge(R) is a registered trademark of NEC.
(2) Field Programmable Gate Array. Logic LSI design technology for rewritable field programmable gate arrays.

About NanoBridge Semiconductor, Inc.

NanoBridge Semiconductor, Inc. (NBS) was established in 2019 in Tsukuba, Japan, to "Deliver ICT applications everywhere with Nanobridge technology." NBS provides low-power and rad-hard programmable AIoT terminals and nonvolatile memory through NanoBridge. At NBS, customers come first. NBS strives to build deep relationships with customers and works together for opening up a New Normal Society. For more information, visit NBS at new window https://nanobridgesemi.com/

NEC and Star Alliance have been cooperating since July 2019 in the development of an identity verification platform utilizing biometric certification(1), and this launch at Frankfurt Airport and Munich Airport is the first commercial service to emerge from the partnership.

Passengers using this service can pass through security access and boarding gates without contact by registering face images and passport information with mobile apps from each company in advance. This platform features NEC's facial recognition engine, which has been evaluated as the world's most accurate(2), in order to ensure high-precision certification, even when individuals are wearing masks.

With the worldwide spread of COVID-19, NEC aims to contribute to safer and more secure air travel by helping to control the spread of illness by enabling non-contact, mask-worn check-in airport boarding procedures.

This service is available to Lufthansa and SWISS Miles & More frequent flyer program members who agree to and register for the use of biometric information. Facial images and personal information of passengers are encoded and safely stored on the platform, which is designed in accordance with the laws and regulations of information protection in each country that it operates, and customer names are not saved. Moreover, Star Alliance will not use personal information without the consent of passengers.

Over 1,700 Miles & More members have already registered for the new service, with processing efficiency measurements now underway.

NEC's facial recognition is part of the NEC Ielight(3) platform of contactless biometric solutions that make touchpoints touchless. Going forward, NEC aims to strengthen biometric collaboration with Star Alliance, while expanding personalized services both inside and outside the airport in order to make the travel experience more enjoyable.

D-Wave Systems Inc.: Testen Sie Ihre Anwendungen: D-Wave ermöglicht den Leistungsvergleich zwischen Quantencomputing-Architekturen

Benutzer können jetzt Qiskit von IBM verwenden, um dasselbe Problem in das D-Wave Advantage Quantensystem und in andere in Qiskit unterstützte Gate-Modell-Systeme einzugeben

BURNABY, British Columbia, Dec. 09, 2020, ein führender Anbieter von Quantencomputing-Systemen, -Software und -Services, hat heute ein einzigartiges systemübergreifendes Softwaretool eingeführt, das eine Interoperabilität zwischen Quanten-Annealing-Systemen und Quantencomputern mit Gate-Modell herstellt. Das Open-Source-Plugin ermöglicht Entwicklern die einfache Überführung von quadratischen Optimierungsproblemen im Qiskit-Format von IBM in das QUBO-Formatin GitHub erhältlich und stellt einen wichtigen Meilenstein für die Branche dar: Die Möglichkeit, reale Anwendungen sowohl mit Gate-Modell- als auch mit Annealing-Quantencomputern zu nutzen, zu testen, zu lösen und zu vergleichen. Erstmals können Entwickler und zukunftsorientierte Unternehmen die Vorteile verschiedener Systeme für ihre Anwendungen genau beurteilen.

Interoperabilität ist ein entscheidender Schritt bei der Entwicklung transformativer Technologien. Bisher gab es keine bequeme Möglichkeit, dieselben Probleme an Solver auf Gate- und D-Wave-Systemen zu senden oder die Ergebnisse aus den beiden verschiedenen Quantencomputing-Systemen direkt zu vergleichen. Die Verwendung von Hardware und Software verschiedener Quantencomputing-Anbieter erforderte daher bisher erhebliche Investitionen, um Entwickler mit Code, Solvern und SDKs vertraut zu machen.

Das branchenweit erste Open-Source-Paket von D-Wave beseitigt diese Hindernisse. Qiskit-Nutzer können jetzt Ising-Hamilton-Funktionen an den D-Wave-Quantum-Computer senden, sowie auch an alle von Qiskit unterstützten Systeme mit Gate-Modell. Durch den transparenten Vergleich verschiedener Paradigmen haben Quantenentwickler jetzt die Flexibilität, verschiedene Systeme auszuprobieren. Gleichzeitig erhalten die Unternehmen wichtige Einblicke in die Leistung, damit sie Quantenanwendungen identifizieren, erstellen und skalieren können.

Das Unternehmen rief auch die Benutzer dazu auf, ihre Arbeit zu veröffentlichen.

"Um ein vollständig ausgereiftes Quantencomputer-Ökosystem zu entwickeln, benötigen Entwickler und Unternehmen gleichermaßen Zugriff auf verschiedene Quantensysteme und die Möglichkeit, die Leistung verschiedener Architekturen zu vergleichen", so Alan Baratz, CEO von D-Wave. "In den nächsten Jahren wird die Verbreitung von Quantenanwendungen zunehmen, und Unternehmen müssen in der Lage sein, fundierte Entscheidungen über ihre Investitionen und Initiativen im Bereich Quantencomputing zu treffen, um wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben. Es reicht nicht mehr aus, sich nur darum zu kümmern, ob das System funktioniert. Stattdessen möchten Unternehmen bewerten, welche Systeme ihnen den größten Mehrwert bieten. Wir bieten die Möglichkeiten dafür und ermutigen die Benutzer des Tools, ihre Arbeit zu teilen und ihre Ergebnisse zu veröffentlichen."

Diese Neuigkeiten entsprechen dem ständigen Bestreben von D-Wave, praktisches Quantencomputing durch Zugriff auf die leistungsstärkste Quanten-Hardware, -Software und -Tools zu ermöglichen. Im Jahr 2018 brachte D-Wave den Leap Quanten-Cloud-Serviceund das Open-Source-Kit Ocean SDK auf den Markt. Im Februar 2020 wurde Leap um neue Hybrid-Solver-Dienste erweitert, die reale Probleme lösen, wie sie in Unternehmensumgebungen vorkommen. Ende September stellte D-Wave das Advantage-Quantensystem mit mehr als 5000 Qubits, 15-Wege-Qubit-Konnektivität und erweiterten Hybrid-Solver-Diensten zur Verfügung, die Probleme mit bis zu einer Million Variablen ausführen können. Die Kombination aus der Rechenleistung von Advantage und der Skalierbarkeit zur Lösung realer Probleme mit den Hybrid-Solver-Diensten in Leap ermöglicht es Unternehmen erstmals, leistungsstarke, hybride Echtzeit-Quantenanwendungen auszuführen. Mit dem neuen systemübergreifenden Softwaretool können Benutzer ihre Anwendungen jetzt über verschiedene Annealing- und Gate-Modell-Systeme hinweg vergleichen, um die Leistungsvergleiche besser zu verstehen und davon zu profitieren.

Um das Plugin für die paradigmenübergreifende Integration kostenlos herunterzuladen und zu installieren, klicken Sie hier.

Als Teil seines Engagements, Unternehmen die Entwicklung von Quantenanwendungen für die Produktion zu ermöglichen, hat das Unternehmen außerdem D-Wave Launcheingeführt, ein Startprogramm für Unternehmen, die noch heute mit der Entwicklung hybrider Quantenanwendungen beginnen möchten, aber möglicherweise zusätzlichen Support benötigen.

Operators begin singing Kumbaya for open RAN

It's becoming painfully clear that operators are pushing hard on the open RAN trend, with the hope that the technology ultimately reduces their costs and injects some much-needed diversity into their stable of network suppliers.

However, in the same breath they're using to call for more competition, they're also urging more unity.

"We still need to do this very much as an industry," said Andrew Dunkin, a senior manager in Vodafone's network operations, during the Light Reading Open RAN Ecosystem Digital Symposium this week. "We're stronger together rather than separately."

Dunkin added that operators like Vodafone need vendors to support the open RAN trend in venues like the Telecom Infra Project and the O-RAN Alliance.

Mike Kondratiuk, director of infrastructure planning for Verizon, indicated a similar desire for solidarity, arguing that a supportive ecosystem for open RAN "will certainly be a priority."

But perhaps the clearest indication of operators' tightening embrace of open RAN technology – as well as their concerns – came from Franz Seiser, a top executive at Deutsche Telekom. He pointed to the operator's new plans to build an "O-RAN town" next year in Neubrandenburg, Germany, starting with around 150 cell sites from vendors like Dell, Fujitsu, NEC, Mavenir and Nokia.

DT's Seiser explained that the Neubrandenburg open RAN operation will be an "overlay" network, meaning that customers will be able to escape to DT's existing network in the area if the open RAN operation doesn't perform as expected.

"We see it improving every day," Seiser said of open RAN. But he noted that the technology is not yet as reliable and stable as traditional RAN hardware and software.

Nonetheless, Seiser voiced support for the overall open RAN wave. "Hopefully we can put together an even better system than we have today," he said of open RAN. He noted that, during the early days of 3G, DT was able to choose from at least 10 different suppliers – now that number is less than five.

Of course, calls for unity are no surprise in the telecom industry. After all, there's little point in building communication networks that cannot connect to each other. But those same calls for unanimity by operators are likely being met with a certain amount of rigidity by top vendors like Nokia and Ericsson, which have survived years of tumultuous consolidation only to have their customers pine for the good old days.

Now, though, virtually all of the world's infrastructure vendors are embracing the open RAN trend to one degree or another. And it appears to be in their best interests.

For example, Verizon recently inked a massive infrastructure deal with Samsung, which many saw as a move by the operator away from its longtime vendor, Nokia. Verizon's Kondratiuk specifically argued that open RAN technology will allow operators to more easily move away from lagging vendors.

"Taking advantage of innovation as well as any new technologies can be very difficult if the vendor does not meet expectations," he said, without specifically naming any vendors.

That said, all the symposium speakers agreed that open RAN technology will mean more work for operators themselves. For example, Vodafone's Dunkin said the company is now engaging directly with silicon providers for open RAN products. "Typically that's not something we've done," he said.

And he acknowledged that vendors need visibility into operators' plans "to understand where operator roadmaps are heading." Along those lines, he offered a look at Vodafone's aggressive open RAN rollout plan


Vodafone is offering a detailed look at its aggressive embrace of open RAN.

NTT and NEC in alliance to take on GAFA with open standards

Japanese incumbent telco NTT and vendor NEC are working together to compete with US-based internet giants in future wireless and optical networks, and to wrest control away from largely English-speaking companies.
The two plan to collaborate on open radio access networks (open RAN or O RAN) and photonic networks to improve the performance of today’s wireless and fibre services.
The companies will “take on the world”, said NEC’s CFO, Takayuki Morita (pictured), in a debate with NTT executive vice president and board member Naoki Shibutani. They were speaking as part of the NEC Visionary Week, an online conference, that took place just days after NEC announced plans to create a 5G centre of excellence in the UK.
Their big target is GAFA — the perceived alliance of Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon that has come to dominate telecoms and online services. “It’s the GAFA effect in search and video services,” said Shibutani. “They are making inroads into data centres. We have to play a leading role in open networks.”
He foresaw a “digital twin society”, created by internet of things (IoT) sensors, but that “will be extremely challenging for telcos”, he warned, because of the traffic created. “We need to respond to a wide range of things that didn’t exist before. The internet won’t be able to meet the demand.”
NTT, Intel and Sony have created an alliance, the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IWON) global forum, which met first online in September 2020. Members now include companies such as Ciena, Ericsson, Microsoft and NEC.
“We can’t do everything ourselves,” said NEC’s Morita. “We need an open and transparent world.” As well as the partnership between NEC and NTT, he sees the IOWN involving carriers and suppliers around the world.”
NTT’s Shibutani said that IOWN means “we decided to change the world by becoming core companies”.
In the past standards emerged from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), said Shibutani. “They decided everything, such as telephone numbers, country codes and routes.” Power has moved to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a de facto standards body, he added, but the result is “people from English-speaking countries keep working on their own standards”.
He wants to use open architecture “to create a communications platform where innovation happens more easily”.
Morita said that NEC plans “lots of testing” of open RAN “over the next year or two”. He said: “We are going into the demonstration stage to see whether interoperability works.” He predicted an initial drop in performance, but said that will improve thanks to the vendor’s work with NTT.
Shibutani added: “The 5G revolution and the digital society that will lead to 6G have only just begun. We need to create an environment for technology innovation.”

Osaka University to Start Operation of NEC's Cloud-linked Supercomputer System

The Cybermedia Center, Osaka University, in cooperation with NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701), announced today it will introduce a new cloud-linked High Performance Computing (HPC) and High Performance Data Analysis (HPDA) supercomputer system from NEC. This will replace the existing system provided by NEC, and is scheduled to commence operation in May 2021.

The new supercomputer system is composed of 1,520 general-purpose CPU nodes, each of which is a state-of-the-art general-purpose computational node with a 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor (codename Ice Lake) featuring Intel Deep Learning boost technology, 42 GPU nodes, each of which is equipped with eight NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs that accelerate workload for AI, data analytics, HPC, and visualization and 36 VECTOR nodes, each of which features eight NEC SX-Aurora TSUBASA units that allow faster and highly efficient simulation of weather, seismic, hydraulic, and other phenomena. The new system is a hybrid supercomputer system that can deliver a theoretical performance of higher than 16 petaflops, centered on a storage appliance equipped with DDN EXAScaler high-performance parallel filesystems from DataDirect Networks, which provides 20 petabytes as a large-capacity data area and 1.2 petabytes as a high-speed data area.

NVIDIA Mellanox HDR InfiniBand provides the high speed, low latency, and smart connectivity between the nodes. The general-purpose CPU nodes are set to become the largest computational resource in Japan as a supercomputer system equipped with Ice Lake. Furthermore, the new supercomputer system is notable not only as a computing resource and data storage but also for tailor-made functionality that allows researchers to dynamically deploy and utilize the software stack of their choice. Moreover, the following new services for improving user friendliness, which accelerates and improves user-experience, are also being offered:

1. Data aggregation infrastructure:

The new supercomputer system is centered on EXAScaler appliances equipped with DDN high-performance parallel filesystems that provide 20 petabytes of large data area and 1.2 petabytes of high-speed data area. The DDN EXAScaler appliances provide the university with a next-generation data aggregation infrastructure named Osaka University Next-generation Infrastructure for Open research and innovation (ONION) in conjunction with Cloudian's Object-Storage HyperStore. ONION allows for a wide variety of data access protocols and significantly improves the flexibility of data usage. By facilitating the sharing of data with cloud services and other research institutions through ONION, the data before/after computation can be smoothly and flexibly shared among users.

2. Secure computing environment:

The new supercomputer system provides a secure computing environment where users can make use of confidential data with assurance. This computing environment offers a secure staging function as an achievement of collaborative research and development between NEC and the Cybermedia Center, Osaka University. Highly confidential data in the storage on campus can be computed and analyzed by the compute nodes on the new supercomputer system, without the data being moved from storage. The secure computing environment also offers a secure partitioning function that dynamically separates and isolates the network for a specific user group and thus provides services that prevent other users from seeing the data and computations. Until today, when used by the medical field and companies, large-scale computing resources provided by supercomputing centers such as the Cybermedia Center, Osaka University could not be fully utilized because of several data security issues. By taking advantage of this secure computing environment, an isolated environment can be dynamically prepared, thus enabling research and development in areas where it was previously unavailable.

NEC and Siemens partner to provide AI monitoring and analysis solution to accelerate digitization in manufacturing

NEC Corporation today announced a collaboration with Siemens in the IoT field to provide a monitoring and analysis solution for manufacturing that connects MindSphere®, the cloud-based, open Internet of Things (IoT) operating system from Siemens, and NEC's System Invariant Analysis Technology (SIAT). As part of the agreement, NEC is joining the MindSphere Partner Program, which can provide NEC with access to specialized technical training and support from Siemens as well as a number of joint go-to-market capabilities.

In recent years, with the acceleration of digitization and the spread of IoT, the safety, efficiency, maintenance and product quality of systems are being visualized and analyzed based on data collected from a large number of sensors installed in various locations, such as plant systems, manufacturing lines and factories. However, it is necessary to systemize data collection, storage, monitoring, analysis and other processes in order to utilize sensor data. Moreover, unique know-how, such as knowledge about IoT systems and data analysis, is required to construct such a system, making it difficult for customers to construct by themselves.

In addition, especially in the manufacturing industry, work processes are often based on the expertise of each plant or individual. Therefore, the loss of know-how due to the retirement of skilled personnel and lack of staff poses a serious challenge.

In order to solve these issues, NEC and Siemens have enhanced their products to enable greater visualization and analysis of sensor data.

System Invariant Analysis Technology, part of NEC's cutting-edge portfolio of AI technologies, "NEC the WISE", is being used to automatically learn and model the behavior of systems based on data gathered from a large number of sensors installed in large-scale, complex systems. This provides visualization of systems and how they operate, in addition to enabling systems to operate safely and efficiently by proactively detecting errors using analytical models. NEC has already installed approximately 100 such systems internationally.

MindSphere is the cloud-based, open IoT operating system from Siemens that connects products, plants, systems, and machines, enabling companies to harness the wealth of data generated by the IoT with advanced analytics. The MindSphere Partner Program is Siemens' partner program for industrial IoT solution and technology providers.

This collaboration enables both companies to provide total data collection, storage, monitoring and analysis, including customization according to customer needs. Specifically, MindSphere is being used to collect and accumulate field sensor data and NEC's System Invariant Analysis Technology system automatically monitors and analyzes the data. This solution will first be offered as a cloud solution for the manufacturing industry, then applied to factory systems, manufacturing lines, plant facilities and other equipment, as well as products that are produced using this equipment. This makes it easy to visualize and analyze vast amounts of sensor data, thereby contributing to increased productivity, reduced operational risk, product quality and the preservation of know-how.

The companies plan to target customers in manufacturing industries internationally, then expand to customers in other industries.



Visualization and analysis

"It is an honor to collaborate with Siemens to enhance the productivity of the manufacturing industry through System Invariant Analysis Technology," said Osamu Fujikawa, Senior Vice President, NEC Corporation. "NEC will accelerate the digitization of enterprises through the provision of solutions worldwide that leverage both companies' strengths. NEC will continue to address diversifying needs by fusing real and digital technologies as well as by leveraging advanced technologies such as AI and IoT," he added.

"Siemens is committed to creating partnerships that help customers realize digital transformation with Industrial IoT.

NEC Publishes Design Blueprints for SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines Using Its Artificial Intelligence Technology

NEC Corporation (NEC; TOKYO: 6701) today announced analysis results from efforts using AI prediction platforms to design blueprints for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines that can drive potent T-cell responses in the majority of the global population. This initiative by the scientific teams within the NEC Group to help combat outbreaks of COVID-19 and support international vaccine development efforts is led by NEC OncoImmunity (NOI) in collaboration with NEC Laboratories Europe (NLE). These AI prediction platforms are based on the AI technology used by NEC and NOI in the development of personalized neoantigen cancer vaccines.

During the analysis, which is published at bioRxiv, the team analyzed thousands of sequences from the SARS-CoV-2 virus (responsible for causing COVID-19) and identified epitopes (potential vaccine targets) for the 100 most frequent HLA alleles (diverse immunological makeup) in the global population.

The analysis demonstrates the significant capabilities of the NEC Group to leverage their AI platforms to design blueprints for a vaccine that is safe and efficacious in a global population and could address the current and future divergent strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

NEC is now publishing this research to support scientific advancements in the field and is ready to start partnering efforts to pursue the development of an effective vaccine targeting the global population.

“As a company that seeks to enhance the well-being of society, NEC will continue to capitalize on research and development that maximizes the strengths of our AI technology to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. In collaboration with companies and institutions around the world, we aim to enable people to live their daily lives with as much safety and security as possible,” said Motoo Nishihara, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at NEC.

“It has been exhilarating work to adapt our NEC Immune Profiler technology from its current cancer focus and quickly make it applicable to infectious diseases to help deal with the COVID-19 threat. It is encouraging that our AI and bioinformatics platform can design vaccine blueprints that have the potential to induce a broad immune response, that may not only be protective for the global population, but also stimulate a long-lived memory immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 and its future mutated versions,” said Dr. Trevor Clancy, Chief Scientific Officer at NEC OncoImmunity and the lead corresponding author in the paper.

“We have been repurposing our algorithms originally designed for predicting immune responses in individual cancer patients to scale to large population targets for infectious diseases. Now demonstrating that our predictions can contribute to the worldwide efforts to stop COVID-19 is of utmost importance. This is an important step towards the development of an effective vaccine to stop COVID-19 for the global population,” said Dr. Saverio Niccolini, General Manager of the Data Science and System Platform Division at NEC Laboratories Europe GmbH.

Intel und NEC fördern Smart Cities und laden den Sender zum Beitritt ein

Beide Hersteller machten deutlich, dass ihre Allianz kein Zurück mehr hat, und kündigten technologische Entwicklungen an, die Regierungen, privaten Unternehmen und Bürgern im Allgemeinen Vorteile bringen, für die sie die Beteiligung des Senders für wichtig halten.

Laut Diego Garza, Sales Director bei Intel Mexico, stellt dieser Markt eine zweite Welle für den Vertriebskanal dar, da er ihnen Geschäftsmöglichkeiten bietet, die es zuvor noch nicht gab. „Das ist für sie von Anfang an schon interessant. Wir bieten eine Reihe modularer Technologien an und werden Schulungen anbieten, damit sie die sich bietenden Chancen nutzen können. Heute stehen wir in Städten, die den ganzen Tag Daten generieren, und die Kanäle haben durch diese Initiativen viele Möglichkeiten. “

Seit mehr als 30 Jahren arbeiten Intel und NEC technologisch zusammen. Sie begannen mit x86-Servern, da NEC einer der ersten war, der eine solche lineare Version auf den Markt brachte. Das heißt, von der Basisinfrastruktur bis zu fortschrittlichen Lösungen wie jetzt.

Der Manager erwähnte, dass eine intelligente Stadt aus einer Reihe von Lösungen besteht, die einige Aspekte des Lebens der Menschen abdecken. "Eine intelligente Stadt ist kein Ort oder Ziel, sondern ein Weg, an dem viele Regierungsstellen beteiligt sind, in den sie bereits investiert haben, zum Beispiel: Wir haben Projekte in Querétaro, Puebla, Jalisco, Nuevo León, die alle unterschiedlich sind Winkel, weil es nicht etwas ist, das aus einem einzigen Element ausgeführt wird, sondern aus vielen Komponenten besteht, die wir zum Zeitpunkt unserer Rückkehr bereits digitalisiert haben, intelligente Mobilität, Überwachung, Sicherheit zum Beispiel, und all dies bildet eine intelligente Stadt ”.

Rodrigo Barajas, Business Developer bei NEC de México, erklärte seinerseits: „Jede Stadt muss ihren eigenen Fortschritt haben und bevor sie intelligent wird, muss sie digitalisiert werden. Es gibt immer noch Städte mit Kommunikationsproblemen, in denen gerade Glasfaser- und Konnektivitätsringe erstellt werden, was die Fähigkeit der Stadt verbessert, sie intelligent zu machen. Unsererseits wurde die Technologie bereits entwickelt und kann in der Cloud oder beim Kunden eingesetzt werden. Wir befinden uns derzeit in Verhandlungen mit mehreren Städten, die sie umsetzen möchten, und wir hoffen, dass sie in den nächsten Monaten umgesetzt werden “, fügte er hinzu, dass sie in bestimmten Fällen Erfolgsgeschichten in Argentinien und Chile haben.

Er erklärte, dass jede Stadt ihre eigenen Herausforderungen beim Bau intelligenter Städte habe, zum Beispiel in Mexiko. Die Hauptherausforderungen seien Sicherheit, Mobilität und öffentliche Beleuchtung.

Er wies darauf hin, dass die Regierungen durch NEC CitysensAI die Lebensqualität der Bevölkerung durch die Verteilung von Sensoren zur Messung von Beleuchtung, Luftqualität und Parkplätzen verbessern könnten.

Er erwähnte, dass der Einzelhandel mit dem Problem der Pandemie mehr an der Automatisierung seiner Prozesse interessiert war, und hofft daher, dass sie im nächsten Jahr ausgeführt werden, obwohl er darauf hinwies, dass es notwendig ist, dass diese Arten von Unternehmen eine gewisse technologische Reife aufweisen, beispielsweise die Fähigkeit zu wissen Verwenden Sie die von diesen Systemen generierten Informationen, damit die Benutzererfahrung vollständig personalisiert ist. "Unsere Technologien ermöglichen es uns, Personen und Artikel zu identifizieren. Es ist jedoch eine Zusammenarbeit mit Unternehmen erforderlich, damit diese die Informationen genau verwenden, damit die Erfahrung vom ersten Tag an erfolgreich ist, wenn diese Art von Projekten gestartet wird." , er behauptete

Sokrates Huesca, Field Sales Engineer bei Intel, sprach über die Bedeutung der Rolle des Internet der Dinge (IoT) in aktuellen Lebens- und Arbeitsmodellen. „Intel gruppiert IoT-Lösungen in Branchen wie Einzelhandel, Fertigung, Smart Cities, Energie, Verkehr, öffentlicher Sektor, Bildung, Tourismus, Gesundheitswissenschaften, Autos und Banken.

In intelligenten Städten werden beide Marken Synergien schaffen, um Lösungen zu entwickeln, die Auswirkungen auf Städte ermöglichen und unter anderem Mobilitätssituationen, öffentliche Beleuchtung, Erfahrungen auf Flughäfen und Regierungsbüros verbessern.

Huesca kommentierte, dass beide Marken gemeinsame Visionen haben, wie zum Beispiel: das Leben der Menschen fördern, wie den Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz und Analyse: „Ich sehe, dass wir in Zukunft diese Gewerkschaft bereichern werden, sie werden sehen, dass wir von beiden Seiten Wert geben und öfters".

Die diesmal gestartete Betriebsunterstützungsdienstgruppe besteht aus vier Diensten: "IKT-Geräteüberwachungs- und Berichterstellungsdienst", "Serverressourcendienst", "Windows 10-Patchverwaltungsdienst" und "PC-Dienst zur monatlichen Nutzung". NEC wird die Betriebsverwaltung von IT-Infrastrukturen / IT-Geräten unterstützen, die während des fortschreitenden Einsatzes von SaaS vor Ort verbleiben, wodurch die Arbeitsbelastung in der IT-Abteilung verringert und die Förderung von DX unterstützt wird, an der die IT-Abteilung ursprünglich arbeiten sollte.


Mit dem Wissen und der Technologie von NEC werden wir das Geschäft der IT-Abteilung unterstützen und versuchen, die Arbeitsbelastung zu reduzieren

Der ICT-Geräteüberwachungs- und Berichterstellungsdienst überwacht remote IT-Geräte mehrerer Hersteller (x86-Server, Netzwerk-Switches, Router) in einer lokalen Kundenumgebung 24 Stunden am Tag, 365 Tage im Jahr und erkennt Fehler, meldet sich automatisch bei Kundenmanagern und unterstützt Ursachenuntersuchungen. Diejenigen, die solche Dinge tun. Der in der lokalen Umgebung installierte "Edgeserver" generiert automatisch eine Gerätezuordnung im LAN, überwacht den Status von IT-Geräten mithilfe von Ping- und SNMP-Traps und erstellt Berichte in Zusammenarbeit mit der Service Provisioning-Plattform von NEC in der Cloud. Tun. Infolgedessen kann die Zeit von der Fehlererkennung bis zum Abschluss der Gegenmaßnahmen um etwa 50% reduziert werden.

　Der Serverressourcendienst verwendet die oben genannten Edgeserverressourcen, um einen virtuellen Server (eine Instanz) mit Remote-Betrieb / Wartung zu versorgen. Sie können zwischen zwei Modellen mit 8 GB / 16 GB Speicher wählen. Funktionen wie die automatische lebendige Überwachung von der Service Provisioning-Plattform und die tägliche automatische Sicherung und Wiederherstellung von Images (Arbeitsanforderung) werden bereitgestellt. Mit diesem Service kann die Anzahl der Mitarbeiter im Serverbetriebsmanagement um ca. 30% reduziert werden.


Übersicht über den Überwachungs- und Berichterstellungsdienst für IKT-Geräte und den Serverressourcendienst

Der Windows 10-Patchverwaltungsdienst ist ein Dienst, der einen Windows Update-Verwaltungsserver (WSUS-Server) in der Kundenumgebung installiert und remote ausführt. Betriebsaufgaben wie die Synchronisierung des WSUS-Servers, die Auswahl von Verteilungs-Patches / die Genehmigung von Anwendungen und die Bestätigung des Patch-Anwendungsstatus für PCs werden auf der Seite der Service-Provision-Plattform vorab (skriptgesteuert) und automatisch ausgeführt. Es wird gesagt, dass die Anzahl der Schritte für die Patch-Management-Arbeit um etwa 70% reduziert wird.

　Der monatliche PC-Nutzungsservice wird von NEC bereitgestellt, um das Lebenszyklusmanagement von Business-PCs zu unterstützen. Das von NEC ausgewählte Modell wird monatlich bereitgestellt, NEC aktualisiert jedoch auch das Master-Image (Upgrade der Betriebssystemversion) beim Kitting. Darüber hinaus wird NEC die gebrauchten PCs abholen und die Entsorgung übernehmen.

Was die neuen Inhaber mit Avaloq vorhaben

Nach dem Verkauf an NEC war unklar, wie es mit dem Zürcher Softwarekonzern Avaloq ­weitergehen soll. Jetzt dringen die ersten Details nach aussen.

Es war keine grosse Überraschung, als Firmengründer und VR-Präsident Francisco Fernandez letzten Oktober den Verkauf seiner Softwarefirma Avaloq ankündigte: Seit Monaten gab es Gerüchte um ein bevorstehendes Exit. Überraschend war eher der Käufer: Der japanische Mischkonzern NEC investierte rund zwei Milliarden Franken in den Schweizer Hersteller von Bankensoftware.

Welche Pläne NEC (110'000 Mitarbeiter, 25 Milliarden Umsatz) mit Avaloq hat, darüber wurde bisher nichts bekannt: Zwischen Signing und Closing des Deals herrscht aus juristischen Gründen weitest­gehend Funkstille zwischen den Unternehmen, und der Abschluss des Deals wird erst für den Frühling erwartet. Bekannt ist lediglich, dass NEC ihren Tochterfirmen traditionell viel Spielraum lässt.

Name und Zürcher Sitz bleiben erhalten

Jetzt lichtet sich der Nebel etwas, wie aus dem Avaloq-Umfeld zu vernehmen ist. So sollen sowohl der Firmenname Avaloq als auch der Unternehmenssitz in Zürich-Manegg erhalten bleiben. Hier hat man in den vergangenen Jahre ausgebaut und Platz für rund 350 zusätzliche Mitarbeitende geschaffen.

Fernandez soll weiterhin dem Verwaltungsrat angehören. Das Präsidium soll jedoch mit einem NEC-Vertreter besetzt werden, der namentlich noch nicht bestimmt ist. Francisco Fernandez selber will sich dazu nicht ­äussern. Aus seinem Umfeld ist zu hören, dass er grundsätzlich gerne für Avaloq weiterarbeiten würde, wenn die Parameter stimmen.

New Japanese Flying Car Gets Off the Ground

Made by NEC Corp., the vehicle is essentially a large drone with four propellers that’s capable of carrying people.



It was caged and only hovered for about a minute, but it flew: a new flying car.

Made by NEC Corp., the vehicle is essentially a large drone with four propellers that’s capable of carrying people. The Japanese electronics maker demonstrated the machine, flying without a passenger, at a Tokyo suburb on Monday. Powered by a battery, it rose briefly to about 3 meters (10 ft.) above the ground before settling down again.

Behind the somewhat underwhelming, drama-free demonstration lies a bigger ambition: Japan’s government wants the country to become a leader in flying cars after missing out on advancements in technology such as electric cars and ride-hailing services. The country’s technological roadmap calls for shipping goods by flying cars by around 2023 and letting people ride in flying cars in cities by the 2030s.

“Japan is a densely populated country and that means flying cars could greatly alleviate the burden on road traffic,” said Kouji Okada, a leader of the project at NEC. “We are positioning ourselves as an enabler for air mobility, providing location data and building communications infrastructure for flying cars.”

For the past few years, Japan has seen the emergence of a small, passionate flying-car community that believes Japan has the engineering expertise and right environment to foster a global flying car industry. Venture capitalists in the country set up a specialized fund, known as the Drone Fund, devoted to investing in autonomous aircraft in general and flying-car businesses in particular.

Although Monday’s demo is among the first by a major Japanese corporation, NEC isn’t planning to mass-produce the flying car, according to Okada. Instead project partner Cartivator will start mass producing the transportation machine in 2026, according to the startup’s co-founder, Tomohiro Fukuzawa.

NEC engineers and Cartivator, which it sponsors, spent about a year developing the model. It’s about 3.9 meters long, 3.7 meters wide and 1.3 meters tall, and weighs about 150 kilograms. It’s being tested in a large 10-meter-by-20-meter cage that’s 2 meters tall, to make sure it doesn’t fly out of control and injure someone, or cause damage.

Japan isn’t the only country seeking to usher in a flying-car utopia; Dubai, Singapore, and New Zealand have expressed similar intentions. Google co-founder Larry Page’s Kitty Hawk Corp. is also working on a flying car, as is Uber Technologies Inc.

Eventually, NEC’s flying car will be set free: Cartivator has been granted a permit for outdoor flights by Japanese government.

NEC : develops laser communications terminals for JAXA's Laser Utilizing Communication System, "LUCAS"

-NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) today announced the development of laser communications terminals (LCTs) for satellites that use laser light to deliver broadband data transmission in outer space. This terminal has been provided for the Laser Utilizing Communication System (LUCAS) being coordinated by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) (*1). Two types of LCT were developed, featuring one for geostationary (GEO) satellites and the others for low earth orbiting (LEO) observation satellites.

In order to commercialize ultra-long-haul laser communications over a distance of 40,000km between GEO and LEO satellites, NEC developed technologies for stably amplifying low-output semiconductor laser light (wavelength@1.5μm) to high output under a vacuum environment, which is ideal for use in submarine cables and LANs, as well as technologies for locating and tracking moving communication partner satellites with high accuracy, and technologies for re-generating broadband signals from very weak light.

In particular, LCTs have been designed to withstand severe vibrations, shocks and radiation - both during launch and while in orbit - and have been designed to dissipate heat generated by laser oscillation adequately. As a result, the newly developed LCT has a transmission rate of 1.8Gbps between satellites, which is more than seven times faster than existing equipment.

NEC's LCT for GEO satellites (*2) is boarded on the optical data relay satellite that JAXA launched from Tanegashima Space Center on November 29, 2020. Moreover, NEC's LCTs for LEO satellites (*3) will be boarded on JAXA's Advanced Land-Observing Satellites, the 3rd DAICHI-3 (ALOS-3) and 4th DAICHI-4 (ALOS-4), which will be launched in the future, when broadband laser communications will be demonstrated and utilized with LUCAS.

LEO satellites directly transmit data to ground stations. Until now, satellites have only been able to transmit to the Earth's surface for approximately 10 minutes during each orbit. A mechanism has been constructed to send data from LEO satellites to ground stations via data relay satellites in GEO, enabling data transmission to be maintained for approximately half of the time for one orbit around the Earth (about 90 minutes), ensuring data transmission time of more than four times (more than 40 minutes) that of the direct transmit system. Conventional data relay satellites that use radio waves have a transmission speed of 240Mbps, even when a few meters in diameter antenna is mounted on a satellite. The LCT has a very small antenna diameter of 14cm, which is about 1/30 that of conventional systems, and the transmission rate between satellites has been increased to 1.8Gbps, 7 times faster than conventional data relay systems.

Due to the expansion of data transmission time and higher bandwidth, more data can be obtained in real time than before, and satellite utilization is expected to advance in various fields.

'NEC has accumulated a wealth of experience in information and communications technology since its establishment in 1899, including a half-century in the development of satellite systems and satellite-mounted mission equipment (*4),' said Hiroaki Miyoshi, Deputy General Manager, Space Systems Division, NEC Corporation. 'The innovation of space laser communication technology, which is used in submarine cables to connect regions across the world's oceans, with space environmental technology is resulting in the development of advanced new communications products,' he added.

NEC Laboratories Europe's Unikraft Doubles Cloud Computing Efficiency with Groundbreaking Technology

HEIDELBERG, Germany, Dec. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- NEC Laboratories Europe recently demonstrated the effectiveness of its Unikraft technology by doubling the data throughput on a NGINX web server while running on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This is compared to the same web server running on a Linux-based image. The result is equivalent to reducing server resource costs by half, as it enables the same data throughput (requests/sec.) with a smaller and cheaper instance.

Unikraft, a Linux Foundation open source project, achieves such rates through specialization; easily allowing users to build a custom operating system and software stack tailored to the needs of a specific application, and ready to deploy as an AWS image. Such unikernels have shown great promise and performance numbers (e.g., boot times of a few milliseconds, memory consumption of only a few MBs and high throughput), but their Achilles heel has been that they often require substantial expert work to create them, and that at least part of the work has to be redone for each additional application.

In stark contrast to other unikernel projects, Unikraft has developed a truly modular unikernel common code base. This makes building tailored-made (uni)kernels much faster than before. "Without Unikraft, you have to choose between unikernel projects that only work for a specific language or application, or projects that aim to support POSIX but do so while sacrificing performance thus defeating the purpose of using unikernels in the first place," says Dr. Felipe Huici, Senior Research Scientist at NEC Laboratories Europe and a core contributor to Unikraft technology. "Unikraft aims to run a large set of off-the-shelf applications and programming languages but still allows for easy customization and even removal of unneeded kernel parts. It also provides a set of rich, performance-oriented APIs that allows applications to achieve even higher performance."
In addition, because Unikraft specializes the entire software stack, its deployed images have a minimal Trusted Computing Base, and are thus more robust against attack.

NEC Laboratories Europe is currently running a proof of concept program for Unikraft and seeking companies who base their business on public cloud infrastructure. Managed in collaboration with Heidelberg Technology Park and the innovation consultancy SOMMERRUST, the program will pair companies with leading NEC Laboratories experts to define their specific cloud resource needs and implement Unikraft technology to improve cloud server efficiencies. Companies interested in participating in the program should contact [e-mail].
