Tokyo, Oct 2, 2009 - ( JCN Newswire ) - NEC Corporation announced today that its new Compact EPC system will be on display at LTE Forum 2009(1). An all-in-one core network system, it qualifies for the world's smallest class by incorporating MME(2) and Serving-GW(3)/PDN-GW(4) into an area measuring 483mm(L)x222mm(H)x497mm(D) that fits within the 5U-height of a standard 19-inch rack.
Each compact system is capable of simultaneously accommodating nearly 300,000 subscribers while controlling more than 1,000 LTE base stations. All functions are loaded into compact, blade integrated AdvancedTCA(R)(5), chassis. This provides the operator with a flexible and reliable way of moving to 4G.
The Compact EPC system can support LTE trials and small scale LTE commercial services. When the number of subscribers increases, large scale network expansion can easily be implemented by adding more blade capability, which provides deployment flexibility for growing operators. Moreover, the seamless connection of LTE networks to a wide range of existing networks, including GSM/WCDMA/CDMA/WLAN, etc., can be implemented in line with the demands of mobile communications carriers.
EPC is a core network system that controls LTE base stations. Both EPC and LTE are currently moving towards standardization promoted by 3GPP(*6), a standardization body for mobile communication systems. NEC's EPC are built in compliance with 3GPP mobile communications standards.
"We have seen caution surrounding LTE in today's market, but NEC is fully committed to providing cost effective LTE solutions that cause minimal disruption," said Dr Shahram Niri, Director of Global LTE/SAE Strategy & Solutions, NEC Europe. "Our new EPC aims to provide a flexible platform that offers operators a smooth, simple and seamless evolution from their existing networks at the lowest total cost of ownership possible. NEC was the first end to end solution vendor offering EPC in Japan and is contributing to the early momentum of LTE by providing radio access, core and terminal elements of LTE networks. As a consequence we have learned many valuable lessons that allow us to meet operators' needs. NEC's new EPC enables a variety of options, such as centralized or distributed deployment, as well as different degrees of EPC node integration (MME, S-GW and P-GW) from a compact all in one package," he added.
NEC is proactively developing LTE/EPC, including its September 2009 announcement regarding compact outdoor wireless LTE base stations (www.nec.com/lte). Looking forward, NEC will continue contributing to the creation of mobile networks through next generation communications systems as a total supplier of LTE/EPC solutions, including communications infrastructure and devices.

After the first follow-up order in Taiwan, the next subsidiary was established in Singapore in 1991. Together with further large contracts, the early 90s saw the company expand into China and other states. Today, M+W Zander Asia is represented with subsidiaries in China, India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam as well as a branch in Australia.
"I am proud of the excellent performance of our staff over the past 20 years and I am convinced that the M+W Zander Group, as a leading global player in the field of high technology engineering, will continue to realize the most demanding projects to the complete satisfaction of our customers in the future," said Georg Stumpf, Chairman of the Supervisory Board and owner. "The Stumpf Group, as a stable and long-term owner of the M+W Zander Group, will ensure that M+W Zander in Singapore will expand its strong position in the Asian growth market and will play a major role in the M+W Zander Group's strategic growth path," Georg Stumpf continued.
"At the end of the 80s M+W Zander was a genuine pioneer when it came to transferring experience of designing and constructing high-tech plants to Asia," said M+W Zander's Chief Executive Officer Jurgen Wild in his speech. "The willingness to tackle and manage new challenges continues to be a fundamental part of our corporate culture in 2009. Today, our focus lies in successfully transferring the know-how available within the Group to new markets." For example, in the summer M+W Zander had its first large contract for a research centre in China, while a production facility for medical devices is currently under construction in Vietnam.
"Asia is the most dynamic growth region within the M+W Zander Group today," M+W Zander Managing Director for Asia, Helmut Kurzbock explained. In 2008 sales in Asia for the Group rose to 912 million euro from 615 million euro the previous year. Kurzbock pointed to the well-developed customer satisfaction that can be seen particularly in the high rate for repeat business of 70 per cent. The managing director for Asia sees further growth in the future. Kurzbock: "Our longstanding presence in all of Asia's growth regions offers our customers the opportunity to implement projects reliably and cost effectively.

Mumbai, Oct 1, 2009 - ( ACN Newswire ) - Conax, one of the top three security providers for digital TV and content distribution world-wide and the leading security provider in India, announced it has established sales and support operations in Mumbai. The company first launched continental India operations in Delhi, 2001, followed by founding Conax Access Systems Private Limited in 2003.
Within this short time-period, Conax Access Systems Private Limited has developed a leading presence in India. The company's success in the expansive DTH and pay-TV market is based chiefly on the Conax corporate strategy for freedom of choice and wide selection of security evaluated consumer devices. The new sales and support office will further enhance the company strategy and sales and support network in the southern region of India, further complimenting the success of Conax Access Systems Private Limited operations in Delhi.
"Conax is security market leader in India. With a new regional base in Mumbai, Conax is better positioned to capture an even larger portion of the extensive Indian pay-TV market. The new office will also provide streamlined technical support for our customers in the region, such as Digicable (www.digicable.in), one of the largest MSO's in India," said Berit Svendsen, CEO, Conax.
